Reframing productivity is a very January thing to do, yes? How can we release ourselves from the outer forces, inner voices, and productivity gurus driving us toward more-more-more? And when we do choose another path, how do we set up our work so that we actually bring our dreams to life — without getting lost in ambiguity, confusion or overwhelm?

“How do we strike the right balance of getting things done but while also feeling inspired + alive?”


I’m joined by Amelia Hruby, my friend, podcast producer + co-teacher of our upcoming course Living Systems. Together we discuss all things productivity through a feminist, ecology lens; and we share the systems + frameworks that allow us to live more in alignment with our internal rhythms, energetic capacities + ever-changing seasons.

This episode is for anyone who wants to do life, work + business your way, and needs support figuring out what your way really is.🌱

“A lot of us have embodied an industrial model for productivity that’s solely focused on maximizing output, profits, and extraction. But what if we did it in a more regenerative way? What if we did it in a way where we cared about the whole system, instead of trying to extract as much from ourselves and the things around us as possible?” — mary grace allerdice

  • Creating systems where we can’t help but flourish
