Ever feel as though you’re not quite able to ‘do it all?’ During the past 2 decades, there has been a huge push into the world of ‘hustle culture.’ So many of us feel like we are constant hot messes, rushing around to try and get a million things in our day done. 

Joining the podcast today is Israa Nasir, New York based psychotherapist and author of the new book “Toxic Productivity.” 

Israa is here today to help us let go of the belief that our value is defined by how busy and successful we feel. Israa speaks about this as someone who currently has skin in the game, not from a place of hindsight. We are all having to manage this idea of toxic productivity now!

We chat:
Productivity no longer just applies to work. It’s infiltrated our romantic relationships, friendships, parenting and personal health
Productivity guilt; the guilty feeling when we ‘relax’
The need for external validation can look like people pleasing or a workaholic
Chaotic state of a dysregulated nervous system becoming familiar e.g. ”I do my best work under pressure.” “I thrive in chaos.”
Dynamics that keep us constantly busy, but never satisfied such as; self-worth, shame, social comparison, burnout, and perfectionism
Cultivating a healthier perspective on achievement to understand, manage, and shift our intense emotions
