The Body, Brain & Soul Podcast
Welcome to the Body, Brain & Soul Podcast!
Together, we're going to explore how to bring our human experience and Soul's purpose into alignment to navigate this journey this we call life!
What I've discovered is that when we nourish our bodies, and nurture our brains, we ignite our Souls...and from that space, life becomes an unlimited possibility.
I invite you to join me on this journey and together we'll dive into the topics, tools and resources that will become the supportive foundation for a life of freedom and thriving.
The journey is just beginning.
Your host,
Sarah McErlean

Presence over productivity - stepping into a new paradigm
Welcome to the Mama Brain Podcast!
In this mini episode I share my awareness around my relationship to productivity. I know I'm not alone in feeling like as a Mama, coach, teacher, partner, friend, sister, etc, etc, etc, that I need to be in a constant state of productivity. But when I started to reflect on how that was showing up in my life - in the space of judgement and guilt - I realized that it may no longer be a way I wanted to live.
Through a series of thought-provoking questions (see below), I began to have insights that enabled me to explore my beliefs and story around productivity and find a magical new paradigm to step into - one of presence, ease and flow.
I hope this episode offers you the ability to explore how you're showing up in your own life - whether it be in your relationship to productivity or something else - and find a more authentic way forward; one that feels good and creates the space for you to become the most self expressed version of you!
The questions I journaled:
- What does productivity mean to me?
- Where did I learn to be productive?
- How does being productive serve my values?
- How does being productive feel in my body?
- Before
- During
- After
- In what ways might the need to be productive be harming me?
- Fill in the blank:
- Being productive means…
- If I’m productive, I’m…
- If I’m not productive, I’m…
- What does it mean to not be productive?
- Does being productive feel like a fit for me?
- Is it in alignment with my values, my energy and how I want to live my life?
- Is there another way that might be a better fit for me?
I also tapped into this filter to ensure I'm present to my life:
- Is this in alignment with my values?
- Am I currently living in alignment with my values?
- Can I continue to honour my priorities and my values and fully be present to this new experience?
- Where am I in my cycle?
- Where does this new commitment land within my cycle?
