In this playful yet powerful episode of the MARSTAGoals® Podcast, host Heather Barrie is joined by her mother and collaborator Margaret Barrie to introduce listeners to the world of Productivity Animals™ — a fun, framework designed to help solopreneurs and business owners align their working style with their natural rhythm.

The duo walk us through the six Productivity Animals — Magpie, Antelope, Red Squirrel, Spider, Terrier, and Anteater — each representing a unique way of working. They explain how recognising your dominant and secondary animals can improve focus, reduce friction, and add more flow to your work. This lighthearted model is also a serious tool for reflection, self-leadership, collaboration and most importaantly, goal achievement.

Listeners also hear practical techniques from Margaret on how to shift energy, reduce overwhelm, and create more calm using physical intelligence tools like breathing, music, movement — and a healthy dose of play.
