In this episode I interview psychotherapist Israa Nasir about all things toxic productivity: the signs and how to heal from it. We also discuss:

•  Productivity isn’t about managing time, but rather how you manage your emotions
• A radical reimagining of what productivity means
• Dynamics that keep us constantly busy, but never satisfied such as; self-worth, shame, social comparison, burnout, and perfectionism
• Ways we can focus on “being” rather than “doing” to embrace a healthier and happier lifestyle
• Recognizing the emotional patterns that drive our toxic productivity habits
• Cultivating a healthier perspective on achievement to understand, manage, and shift our intense emotions 
• Creating sustainable habits for reaching goals that are authentically meaningful to us
