🎙️ Episode: “Toxic Productivity: When Doing More Stops Working”

If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough… you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

In this powerful episode of Hall Pass, Oliver tackles the insidious pressure many educators face: the belief that constant productivity is the measure of our worth. Rooted in both personal patterns and broken systems, toxic productivity masquerades as dedication but often leads to burnout, resentment, and disconnection from the work we used to love.

You’ll hear:

•Why overworking is often rewarded—but at what cost?

•The difference between being productive and being effective

•Personal stories from the classroom (and home)

•A blueprint for breaking free from the cycle

This episode offers both reflection and relief: a reminder that your value as an educator isn’t defined by how many hours you give, but by how much of yourself you still have left at the end of the day.
