I believe that we can shift our perception of the words "I'm Busy"

There was a time when I proudly wore "busy" like a badge of honor. It seemed to validate my success, my worth. But then, it hit me hard—I felt like a stranger in my own life. I was so caught up in doing everything that I forgot about being me.

I was so busy doing...

that I stopped being

As I rushed from one thing to the next, my emotions dulled, and I operated on autopilot, like a robot just going through the motions. I was neglecting my health, my passions, and my true values. I had fooled myself into thinking that constant busyness was the hallmark of a successful life. Wasn’t being busy the way to avoid judgement and fit in with everyone else who seemed to have it all together?

But here's the truth: I've come to understand that "busy" is often just a crutch, an excuse we use to sidestep the things that really matter or that we’re afraid to tackle. This realization came crashing down on me during a business trip, stuck in an airport, overwhelmed by a breakdown that opened my eyes to how far I had drifted from the life I once dreamed of.

That’s why I started the Redefining Busy community. I would like to empower you to take back the control over your day, over your thoughts and emotions, break free from limiting beliefs and reclaim your life; and I encourage you to shift your perception of the words “I’m busy.”

GET TO KNOW ME

SOMETHING I DO EVERYDAY:

Practice gratitude. Finding things to be grateful for each and every day cultivates more joy, inner peace and abundance in your life.

Because gratitude can boost your mood, it's no surprise that it can also improve your overall mental health.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING, YOU CAN FIND ME:

Writing, running, hiking, or spending time with or traveling to explore new destinations with my family.

I'm also writing a book and learning how to be a channel.

MY BEST ADVICE TO GIVE OTHERS:

You own your life, and the power to shape it lies in the here and now. Not in the echoes of your past. Not in a future that’s yet to unfold. Not after you hit some milestone. Right here, right this second, is where you take charge. Not when you feel ready, but because you have to. Because it's now or never.

Looking back, as a recovering

over-scheduler & over-committer.

I used to pride myself on having a full schedule of things that overtook my

time and focus.

In hindsight, I see how this relentless scheduling was my way of coping with deeper issues I wasn’t ready to face. I filled every minute to avoid confronting my dissatisfaction with the direction my life was taking, or to escape feelings of inadequacy or fear that I wasn't doing enough. The irony is, in my effort to be everything to everyone, I often neglected the most important person: ME.

This pace of life had its consequences—burnout, strained relationships, and lost opportunities to pursue what truly mattered to me. It took time and some tough realizations to understand that my worth isn’t measured by how much I can fit into my day. Now, I strive for a schedule that reflects not just my responsibilities, but also my values and passions, ensuring that what takes up my time truly deserves to be there.

That was the turning point when I decided to reshape my life around intentionality. My new focus is on living deliberately—making every moment count, every action meaningful.

Then, I changed my life...

It was my
Wake up Call

When I lost all of my excuses & broke free from limiting beliefs,

I found ALL of my results.

I realized I needed to wake up, stop sleepwalking and letting life pass me by in a blur, capturing my attention with trivial things. I knew I needed to improve my health, but I always had an excuse ready, usually claiming I was "too busy." It wasn't until I dropped all those excuses that I began to see real results.

And not only did I get healthier physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well, feeding my mind the right stuff, bringing a total body balance of health.

And finally I decided that I was going to be more engaged in my relationships. I was going to be fully present in my presence. No more constantly on my phone or distracted. It’s amazing how much better your relationships can become if you are truly engaged and present in the moments. I learned to live by the quote, "wherever you are, be all there."

I knew I needed to make changes to get back into alignment with my life and my purpose. First, I re-evaluated my priorities...

I noticed that I needed to make time to do more of the things I truly enjoyed.

I thought deeply about what I was passionate about, and what made me feel alive as a human being.

I came to a realization that so many people merely exist, that they forget to live.

I decided that I needed to be more intentional with my time and what I chose to focus on.

I desired to be awake, not sleepwalking through life letting anything and everything capture my attention.

So this brought me to come up with the A.A.B.L. PHILOSOPHY

When I first started the Redefining Busy blog and community, I realized that we have the power to make the changes we seek in our lives. That we are able (AABL) to change into who we seek to be.

The AABL Philosophy is broken down into 4 mindsets to focus on to redefine busy and take back control our power to reclaim our lives.

What does the AABL philosophy stand for and mean?

Alive: doing things that set your soul on fire.

Awake: living with intention and purpose in all that we do.

Balance: cultivating mindsets and habits that enable a healthy body, mind, and soul.

Love: being present and engaged in relationships.

Masterclass Coming Soon!

It will be hard changing your mindset and your habits, but if you truly want to make changes in your life, you can & will do it.

You can release what is not serving you any longer.

You hold the power to shape your life through the decisions you make. I know it's not easy to start saying no, to break free from limiting beliefs, and to take control of your thoughts and habits, but it's crucial for living an intentional and authentic life. Trust me, it gets easier, and you can start to feel better.

You can redefine what "busy" means to you. Let me empower you to take back control of your day and ultimately your life, just as I did. By changing how I viewed and used the term "I'm busy," I transformed all the areas of my life for the better.
