Tea Time with Crystal Lindahl

Hi I’m Crystal!

Yvonne Tally has spent over 20 years in health and wellness, working toward her mission of helping people develop their personal power and deploy their passion so they can live their most meaningful lives with more joy, happiness, and vibrancy.

In her new book, Breaking Up With Busy, Yvonne gives practical and mindful solutions for slowing down and enjoying life with a sensible balance of energetic wellness, spiritual connection, and methods for sustaining personal fulfillment.

I thought I was good with time management until I read Yvonne’s book. I felt like she was speaking directly to me and I’m curious if you’ll think the same.

Yvonne and I talk about why we need to look at the busyness in our lives, what is really making us feel that way, and what we can do about it.

Radically Vibrant Yvonne

• Focusing her work on busyness after an unexpected panic attack
• Developing an unbusy practice to stop rushing around

Radically Inspired Clarity

• We have to get underneath our busy behavior with deep self-reflection and an understanding of why we’re doing what we’re doing.
• We need to learn how to portion our technology and create boundaries for the sake of our intimate relationships and environment.

Yvonne Tally Answers…

• How does our current culture contribute to busyness?
• How is technology affecting our lives and relationships?
• What advice do you have for those who have to work long hours?
