Are you struggling to support the men in your life—your husband, sons, partner, or father—who feel the pressure to be strong, stoic, and silent? Do you watch them struggle, knowing the cultural expectation to suck it up keeps them from seeking the help they need? Outdated ideas about masculinity create significant barriers, often leading men to dismiss their own emotional needs as a weakness. This w...

If you’re anything like me, you know the holiday season is coming, and yet, it somehow always feels like it sneaks up on you, trading your joy for what feels like an impossible to-do list. What follows is a feeling of overwhelm, exhaustion, and stress, even when good things are happening. The gap between the “picture-perfect” ideal and our chaotic reality leaves us depleted and in recovery mode as t...

The secret to success isn’t avoiding failure; it’s learning to trust your gut when everyone else says “no.” All too often, we feel isolated, struggle with overthinking, and let the fear of failure hold us back.

The relentless pursuit of productivity has a dark side: the pervasive and false belief that our worth is directly tied to our output. Too many of us are trapped in this cycle, feeling intense guilt whenever we rest or worry that slowing down makes us "lazy." This toxic belief system, relentlessly reinforced by hustle culture and outdated capitalist conditioning, is the most direct road to ...

So many of us find ourselves in an all too familiar cycle: we create the perfect self-care plan, only to have it completely derailed by the unpredictability of life. Whether it’s an urgent deadline, a sick family member, or a sudden change in plans, our carefully crafted intentions fall apart, once again putting self-care on the back burner. The problem? We put too much focus on having a plan when w...

Have you ever had a day where you checked everything off of your to-do list but still felt unfulfilled? It’s a common conundrum (and a major source of frustration and burnout) to feel busy but not truly productive. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m diving head first into this issue. I reveal two types of productivity that, when they are both honored, can transform how you approach you...

If you’re feeling constantly on edge or overwhelmed by life’s demands, you’re not alone, and your nervous system might be the reason why! Think of the nervous system as your body’s communication highway, with messages on what to think, feel, and do traveling at hyper speed. On one side, you have your body’s "fight or flight" response, known as the sympathetic nervous system, and its essent...

Prioritizing tasks is a common challenge for so many of us, especially those of us who are neurodiverse and often struggle with competing demands, fluctuating energy, and the constant pull of urgency. Maybe you’re staring at a mountain of tasks where everything feels important and you have no idea where to begin. But what if, by exploring your unique tendencies, you can quiet the noise, sort through...

Mindfulness sounds great in theory, but sometimes it can feel like just another "should" on your to-do list—something that is too difficult or time-consuming to actually do. (And you might feel guilty for not even trying). This resistance, known as productive "friction”, keeps us from building habits that can significantly boost our happiness and well-being.

Have you ever dismissed a small step because it feels like it won't make a difference, or felt discouraged when you don't see immediate results? We live in a culture that glorifies big leaps and instant success, but the truth is, lasting change is built through the small, consistent choices we make every day. The biggest mistake is undervaluing these small actions, often quitting right bef...

Does the thought of change—whether planned or unexpected—fill you with fear and a sense of paralysis? We all naturally resist change and the uncertainty it brings, often feeling like it is easier to not move at all than to make a mistake. But what if change and uncertainty were actually opportunities for growth, resilience, and personal transformation?

Do you jump from one task to the next feeling scattered, tense, or overwhelmed? We spend so much time planning our work that we often forget about the essential space in between. Ignoring this transition time can lead to frustration and exhaustion (which leads to burnout) and can negatively impact your life in so many ways. It's often a missing piece in your time management puzzle, but it doesn...

Have you ever tried traditional time blocking only to find it too rigid, frustrating, or just plain boring? The one-size-fits-all approach to productivity often ignores the realities of our busy, unpredictable lives, leading to guilt and a feeling of failure when things don't go according to plan. What if you could design a time management system that is not only effective but also fun, flexibl...

Do you feel like you constantly need to push forward and that non-stop work equals peak productivity? The truth is, relentless doing often leads straight to burnout, not true effectiveness. Many of us struggle to give ourselves permission to take a break, fearing it will derail our progress.

Do you find yourself constantly putting off tasks, searching for distractions instead of focusing on what needs to be done? We all experience procrastination, and it's not a personal flaw. It often comes from a lack of motivation, clarity, or energy, not a lack of desire or work ethic.
This week, in episode 271 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I explore why we avoid tasks and, more importantly...

Living with a chronic illness can make traditional self-care advice feel impossible or out of reach. Many struggle to prioritize their well-being when dealing with unpredictable symptoms, fatigue, and the constant demands of managing a condition. It can be hard to know what "self-care" even means when your primary focus is often just getting through the day.
This week, in episode 270 of the...

Do you constantly feel overwhelmed, equating your self-worth with endless busywork, only to end up exhausted and unfulfilled?

This week, episode 269 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about reclaiming your worth beyond the gr...

Habits are essential for us to automate our lives and achieve our goals faster. However, like most things we learn about productivity, habit building is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The habits best suited for you are the ones created by understanding your unique self.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
