Description

Productivity is toxic. šŸ˜µ

We live in a culture that has turned productivity into a measure of self-worth, creating an unfulfilling and one-sided relationship with success.

Itā€™s time to break free from the cycle. Afterall, productivity is a man-made construct. No wonder you donā€™t feel enough šŸ™„.

This episode was inspired by a moment in my own life this past weekā€”feeling ā€œguiltyā€ for not helping my son with his math homework while my husband stepped in. In that moment, I thought, ā€œIā€™m a bad mother,ā€ simply because I wasnā€™t doing everything (even after a very full day and week of activity). But I paused, I caught myself in the spiral of thoughts, and Iā€™m sharing how I moved through it (because I know Iā€™m not aloneā€¦).

Listen in as I cover:

  • How viewing productivity as a reflection of your value strips away your soul and leaves you feeling empty and ā€œnot enoughā€
  • How to redefine your relationship with productivity and focus on what actually brings you joy and fulfillment
  • Why micromanaging and perfectionism are symptoms of feeling inadequateā€”and how to address those root causes
  • The real reason why people donā€™t take action and how to call yourself out on the stories youā€™re telling yourself

The toxic nature of productivity makes us believe weā€™re always falling short. The reality: weā€™re not supposed to do it ALL. So, why do you keep kicking yourself in the šŸ‘ over it?
