In this episode, we dive into the hidden addiction that so many of us struggle with - the addiction to productivity. I explore how constant doing, grinding, and chasing output can disconnect us from ourselves, our creativity, and what truly matters.
We talk about anxiety, burnout, AI, creativity, nervous system regulation, and the deeper emotional needs hiding underneath our obsession with being productive. This conversation became a powerful reminder that sometimes the most productive thing we can do is slow down and reconnect with ourselves.
