350. Breaking the Busyness Cycle Before You Pass It to Your Kids
I know we've talked about boundaries on this show before. But this conversation? It went somewhere I really wasn't expecting.
My guest today is Alex Lianne Carter, a master certified neurocoach, educator, and children's author who burned out, rebuilt her life one small decision at a time, and eventually packed up her family and moved to Panama. When Alex reached out to me about coming on to talk about boundaries, I sat with it for a minute because the angle she brought was one I hadn't heard before, and I think you're going to feel it too.
Because this episode is really about three things that are all connected: the busyness we can't shake, the boundaries we can't hold, and what our kids are quietly picking up from watching us do both. Alex walks us through the brain science behind why slowing down genuinely feels wrong, where these patterns actually come from, and what we can do about it before we hand the whole cycle to our kids.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why you can't hold a boundary no matter how many times you set it
- What your kids are absorbing right now just by watching how you move through your day
- The real reason slowing down feels dangerous to your nervous system even when you desperately want it
- The very first step out of autopilot when you're so deep in it you don't even realize it's running
