and really go through some journal prompts like ask yourself why do I do the things that I do

do they genuinely make me happy or do they make other people happy so it makes me happy right

Today it's great to have Isra Nasser on the podcast.

Isra is an author, speaker, and therapist whose latest book is about toxic productivity.

In this episode we discuss her definition of toxic productivity, why addressing our emotional

foundation is one of the most important parts of healing and fulfillment, and how we can challenge

the instinct to trust the negative beliefs we hold for ourselves.

We also discuss the importance of self-care,

the connection between productivity and self-worth,

and how to transform shame into curiosity.

This was an important chat on a topic that I think we can all

relate to at various points in our lives. So that further ado, I bring you Israel
