Why Saying “I’m Too Busy” Is Keeping You From the Life You Actually Want

⌛“I don’t have time right now.”

⌛“I’m too busy.”

⌛“I’ll get to it when things settle down.”

We’ve all said it. Especially when it comes to our own growth.

And it feels true, because life is full. There are real responsibilities, real stretch points, real moments of overwhelm.

But there’s something else I’ve learned over the years:

The excuses will always be there.

And if we let them lead, we’ll never make the shift our soul is asking for.

⏲️We’ll keep waiting for the “right” moment, when we’re less tired, less unsure, less consumed, yet the truth is that moment might never arrive.

Because transformation rarely shows up at a convenient time.
It usually knocks when things are already unraveling.

Some of the deepest portals in my life cracked open right in the middle of the hardest seasons; new motherhood, divorce, full-time work, falling apart and not knowing what was next.

And each time, what changed everything was support.
Not because someone else fixed it for me, but because someone held the container so I could do the work myself.

So I could remember who I was beneath all the roles, all the conditioning, all the noise.

This is the invitation I’m offering you today:

✨ To pause the story that says “now’s not the time.”

✨ To get honest about what you’re really afraid of.

✨ To say yes to the part of you that already knows it’s time.

Because the truth is, you’re allowed to be supported.

🌹You’re allowed to be held.

You don’t need permission to step into who you came here to be.

You just need a yes.

Even a quiet one.

If you want to hear more about how to move through those thresholds, and what it means to say yes when it feels hardest – I teach more in a recent episode of Soul Coaching Podcast.
