BUSY IS A FOUR LETTER WORD: DOING LESS, LIVING MORE WITH KISHSHANA PALMER

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: Dr. Whitney

About the Episode:


In this episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with Kishshana Palmer, speaker, coach, and author of Busy Is a Four-Letter Word: A Guide to Achieving More by Doing Less.


Together, they dive into what happens when moms finally decide to step off the hamster wheel of over-functioning and start living with more intention, joy, and rest.


You’ll hear:


💡 Why busyness has become the new badge of honor and how it’s isolating us


🧘🏾‍♀️ Kishshana’s Five-Star Wellness Plan to help you identify where you’re out of alignment (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and community)


💤 The real reason moms struggle with sleep and how Kishshana created bedtime rituals that actually work


🗓️ How to use time-blocking and “buffer blocks” to reclaim your schedule and your sanity


🚫 Why multitasking doesn’t make you more productive and how to practice doing less so you can achieve more


💬 Real talk about canceling plans with integrity, managing guilt, and redefining success beyond everyone else’s expectations


This conversation is honest, empowering, and packed with practical strategies for any mom who’s ever thought, “If I slow down, everything will fall apart.” Spoiler: it won’t and Kishshana shows you exactly why.

About Our Guest:


Kishshana Palmer is an author, international speaker, and executive coach whose superpower is helping high-achieving women design lives filled with purpose, joy, and peace, not just productivity.


A solo mom, entrepreneur, and recovering over-doer, Kishshana brings humor, heart, and hard-earned wisdom to every conversation about motherhood, leadership, and balance. Her debut book, Busy Is a Four-Letter Word: A Guide to Achieving More by Doing Less, offers a framework for reclaiming time, energy, and self-worth through her signature Five-Star Wellness Plan.
