Multitasking is quietly killing our productivity. Rushing through everything at once leaves us scattered, stressed, and less effective. What if slowing down, practicing patience, and being present was actually the key to real success?
This week on Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re challenging the myth of multitasking and offering a healthier, more sustainable approach—one rooted in presence and ease. Together, we explore:
✨ Moving from a “monkey mind” to focused awareness
✨ Why multitasking fragments our attention and reduces productivity
✨ Letting go of guilt and shame through intentional action
✨ The power of patience—and how to cultivate it
✨ Finding balance between work and personal life
💬 Barb shares timeless wisdom on understanding the mind and staying grounded in the present.
💬 Michelle offers fresh insights and powerful visuals on how slowing down can transform the way we live and work.
This episode is a gentle reminder that even in the busiest seasons, patience and presence will always serve us better than hustle and overwhelm.
