In this episode, guest expert, Grace Marshall helps us appreciate the often overlooked beauty of struggle, revealing how our challenges serve not merely as obstacles but as crucial sign posts, showing us not only where we are going wrong, but where we are poised to make the greatest leaps forward in personal and professional development. We discuss the true meaning of productivity beyond just efficiency, defining success on your own terms, and how best to support yourself and others through emotionally taxing periods of life without giving into the overwhelm. If you're facing professional challenges or personal setbacks, this conversation can give you tools to turn those struggles into strengths, challenge the conventional narratives of productivity and provides a fresh perspective on achieving genuine success in all areas of life.
