Episode 01: “I’m So Busy!”

In this inaugural episode of Disrupting Default, we tackle the three words that have become modern life's unofficial motto: "I'm so busy."

We explore how people have turned busyness into everything from a polite deflection tool to a bizarre status symbol. Why do people respond to "How are you?" with their calendar status instead of their actual feelings? When did being overwhelmed become an achievement worth bragging about?

This episode challenges you to recognize when you're using "busy" as a default response and offers a radical alternative: actually answering how you feel. Because "busy" isn't an emotion – it's just a schedule update disguised as human connection.

Tune in to discover why saying "I'm grateful" or "I'm anxious" creates infinitely more meaningful conversations than "Busy, you know how it is." Spoiler alert: most people actually don't know how it is, and that's exactly the problem.

Perfect for anyone ready to break free from the cult of busyness and start having real conversations again.
