As a compassionate, holistic productivity coach, I focus on productivity with a person-first perspective. This shame-free productivity approach prioritizes overall well-being over relentless work and self-criticism. It rejects the “hustle and grind” mentality and embraces flexibility and self-compassion. This week, episode 250 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about shame-free productivity: the most effective way to get things done!


In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I share a sustainable, compassionate approach to productivity that releases the guilt and shame that hustle culture presents, and I describe what this could look like when implemented. 

I cover the following topics:

  • Celebrating my journey to 250 podcast episodes (and how my own shame-free productivity approach got me there)!
  • Using the example of writing a book to illustrate the difference between the “hustle and grind” mentality and shame-free productivity. 
  • Why shame-free productivity is actually the most effective approach to get things done.
  • The first step to practicing shame-free productivity: self-discovery. 

By embracing a shame-free productivity mindset, you can achieve your goals without sacrificing your well-being. Remember to be kind to yourself, honor your needs, and celebrate every step you take. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish when you work with yourself, not against yourself!

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
