Episode 1: This Is Not Your Typical Productivity Podcast

Hi friends! I’m so excited you’re here for the very first episode of The Accomplishment Project! This project has been brewing behind the scenes for years, and today I’m sharing where it came from, what it’s about, and what you can expect going forward.

💡 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How writing Finding Success in Balance pushed me to burnout

• Why productivity isn’t the full picture when it comes to accomplishment

• The role of stories, experiments, and emotional honesty in this project

• The four formats I’ll be exploring in future episodes

• A real-life look at why I decided to launch a podcast (finally)
  

If you’ve ever questioned your definition of success or felt disconnected from traditional goal-setting advice, you’re in the right place.
