Description

This episode is about giving ourselves permission to stop chasing outcomes all the time.

If your days feel rushed, your mind is noisy, and your calendar never has room for you, I want you to listen to this.

Because I’ve been challenging my own thoughts around what it means to be ‘productive’, and I’ve seen how much more capacity and calm shows up when I stop trying to earn my rest or justify my joy.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why you can often resist doing things that don’t lead to a clear outcome

- What happens when you only see value in being busy

- How identity, perfectionism and worthiness sneak into the way you spend your time

- A simple question that can help you find you, without needing a reason.

- What unstructured, ‘non-productive’ time actually gives you

- How I’ve started shifting the way I talk about my days, and why that matters

If you’ve ever said “I’d love to… but I just don’t have time”, please listen to this one.
