Being busy doesn’t always mean you’re moving forward.
As part of the Permission Series, Bobbi Brinkman explores why busyness is often mistaken for progress — and how constant motion can quietly disconnect us from clarity, alignment, and meaningful growth.
In this episode, Bobbi invites listeners to examine the difference between activity and intention, and why doing more doesn’t always create better results. She reframes busyness as information rather than validation, offering a more grounded way to assess what’s actually moving the needle.

If your calendar feels full but forward momentum feels unclear, this episode offers permission to pause and reassess what progress really looks like in this season.
