We discuss the importance of showing up for yourself, taking imperfect action, and acknowledging the value of rest. We gently challenge traditional productivity advice, emphasising the emotional aspect of getting things done and the need to deprogramme the idea that rest must be earned. The conversation also addresses misconceptions about self-care, the impact of advertising on self-worth, and the necessity of embracing vulnerability and rewriting the narrative of success.Tune in as we advocate for embracing personal quirks, fostering genuine connections, and initiating more honest discussions beyond the façade of social media perfection.Compassionate Productivity and Personal GrowthThe importance of showing up for oneselfTaking imperfect actionThe value of rest as a productive elementDeprogramming the idea that rest must be earnedMaking friends with our future selvesSmall actions can make a big differenceReplacing inner critic with inner wisdomMaking tasks fun and easierRedefining Self-CareRedefining self-preservationRecognising and resisting marketing tactics and old narrativesThe impact of advertising targeting women and playing into insecuritiesEmbracing Vulnerability and Self-WorthRewriting the narrative of successOvercoming the fear of starting something before feeling completely readyFinding wisdom in people who are open about failures and the process of successRecognising self-worth without achieving goals or milestonesPracticing self-compassion and acceptanceSelf-worth and embracing personal quirksDisparity between ideal productivity routines and realityComplexity of mental health issues, financial struggles, and relationshipsUnrealistic and patronising nature of one-size-fits-all approach to productivityDdisconnect between privilege and realityStruggle with pushing through, compassion for self.Shame cycle of productivity and self-judgment.Transactional mindset, cruel self-treatment, need for imperfection.Self-worth leads to better decisions and boundaries.Self-worth isn't a game to unlock.Struggle with self-compassion and body image.Bohemian Rhapsody helps motivate and focus.Challenging the consumerism of self-care experience.Productivity doesn't always mean more is better.Struggle with cultural pressure to push through, learned to be compassionate for better well-being.Shame cycle, internalisation, and moral judgement.
