Welcome to the Mama Brain Podcast!

In this mini episode I share my awareness around my relationship to productivity.  I know I'm not alone in feeling like as a Mama, coach, teacher, partner, friend, sister, etc, etc, etc, that I need to be in a constant state of productivity.  But when I started to reflect on how that was showing up in my life - in the space of judgement and guilt - I realized that it may no longer be a way I wanted to live.

Through a series of thought-provoking questions (see below), I began to have insights that enabled me to explore my beliefs and story around productivity and find a magical new paradigm to step into - one of presence, ease and flow.

I hope this episode offers you the ability to explore how you're showing up in your own life - whether it be in your relationship to productivity or something else - and find a more authentic way forward; one that feels good and creates the space for you to become the most self expressed version of you!

The questions I journaled:

• What does productivity mean to me?
• Where did I learn to be productive?
• How does being productive serve my values?
• How does being productive feel in my body?
  • Before
  • During
  • After
• In what ways might the need to be productive be harming me?
• Fill in the blank:
  • Being productive means…
  • If I’m productive, I’m…
  • If I’m not productive, I’m…
• What does it mean to not be productive?
• Does being productive feel like a fit for me? 
  • Is it in alignment with my values, my energy and how I want to live my life?
• Is there another way that might be a better fit for me?

I also tapped into this filter to ensure I'm present to my life:

• Is this in alignment with my values?
• Am I currently living in alignment with my values?
• Can I continue to honour my priorities and my values and fully be present to this new experience?
• Where am I in my cycle?
• Where does this new commitment land within my cycle?
