Podcast Feature: The Lost Art of Boredom: What Happens When You Stop Staying Busy with Rebecca Wilson

What if staying busy is actually getting in the way of your best thinking?

In this episode, Joyan sits down with award-winning executive coach, speaker, and meditation teacher Rebecca Wilson to explore the lost art of boredom and why high performers may need more of it than they realise.

The conversation explores why slowing down can feel so uncomfortable, what constant stimulation can do to our ability to think deeply, and why learning to sit with discomfort may be one of the most valuable skills a leader can develop.

Together, they unpack:

• Why high performers can struggle to slow down

• What “inner mastery” means for sustainable high performance

• Why boredom and stillness can create space for better thinking

• How to recognise whether you are being productive or simply staying busy
