1176: [Relationships] "How to Break-Up with Toxic Productivity: Redefining Success and Self-Worth"

Productivity is toxic. 😵

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

It's time to break free from the cycle. Afterall, productivity is a man-made construct. No wonder you don't feel enough 🙄.

This episode was inspired by a moment in my own life this past week—feeling "guilty" for not helping my son with his math homework while my husband stepped in. In that moment, I thought, "I'm a bad mother," simply because I wasn'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 I'm sharing how I moved through it (because I know I'm not alone…).

Listen in as I cover:

How viewing productivity as a reflection of your value strips away your soul and leaves you feeling empty and "not enough"
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 inadequate—and how to address those root causes
The real reason why people don't take action and how to call yourself out on the stories you're telling yourself

The toxic nature of productivity makes us believe we're always falling short. The reality: we're not supposed to do it ALL. So, why do you keep kicking yourself in the 🍑 over it?
