The Productivity Myth That's Keeping You Burnt Out | EP 64


Listen Later

If you're a high achiever who feels overwhelmed, burnt out, or constantly behind, this episode will transform the way you think about productivity. I break down the nervous system science behind dysregulation, survival mode, and burnout and explain why optimizing for productivity actually backfires when your body is overloaded. You'll learn what regulation really means, how to recognize when your nervous system is out of balance, and practical strategies to shift out of fight-or-flight and back into clarity and ease. I also explore the connection between childhood conditioning, worthiness wounds, and the pressure to constantly "do more," and I walk you through a simple 7-day experiment to reset your nervous system and build true high performance from the inside out. This episode is for leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone craving a healthier, more sustainable way to succeed.

Key Takeaways
  1. Productivity doesn't work when you're dysregulated because your brain literally can't access clarity, creativity, or efficiency.
  2. Many high achievers tie their worth to productivity due to childhood praise patterns.
  3. Regulating your nervous system—through rest, nourishment, movement, and presence—naturally makes you more productive.
