Breaking the Toxic Pattern of Productivity as Self Worth

About this episode

This episode explores the detrimental link between productivity and self-worth, and its impact on relationships and personal fulfillment.

In this episode, we dive into the toxic cycle of tying our value to how much we achieve or produce and why it pushes away healthy love. We talk about what happens when our reality revolves around being busy, rather than being fulfilled. And how women suffer when pleasure, joy, and creativity fall to the bottom of the list. This conversation also explores how perfectionism and the need for control can pull us further from ourselves. Enjoy!
