Have you ever felt guilty for prioritizing rest? In this thought-provoking episode of the Ask Dr. Sterling Podcast, Dr. Sterling sits down with Dr. Therese, a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Exploring Therapy, to dive into the concept of toxic productivity. Dr. Therese, who describes herself as a “professional life enjoyer,” shares her journey, sparked by a personal tragedy, that led her to help others build lives they don’t need vacations from.

Together, they explore the roots of toxic productivity - from childhood messages about work ethic to the pressures of modern society that reward relentless work. This insightful interview with Dr. Therese was originally exclusive to Sterling Parents members, but it was so impactful that we had to share it with all of you!
