Centered in the City

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never enough? Is resting challenging for you?

In this episode, we’re unpacking The Productivity Trap—why we equate busyness with self-worth and how to break free from the cycle of overworking and underliving.

I’ll share research-backed insights on why our brains crave productivity (and why more work doesn’t always mean better results). Plus, I’ll guide you through tangible tools to help you balance ambition with presence, including:

• The 80% Rule to prevent burnout
• The "Enoughness" Check-In to shift your mindset
• Time-blocking techniques to work with your brain, not against it
• A new definition of productivity that nourishes your whole life

Take a deep breath, press play, and let’s explore how to redefine success on your own terms.

In today’s solo episode, we’re diving deep into radical self-love—the kind that goes far beyond skincare routines or surface-level self-care. This is the love we so often search for in others, yet it’s the greatest gift we can give ourselves. True self-love isn’t just personal; it ripples outward, shaping how we show up for family, kids, our community and the world. When we learn to nurture ourselves with kindness and compassion, we free up energy—no longer chasing validation from the outside, but instead radiating love from within.
