🎙️ ON TODAY's EPISODE - Unlearn the Grind: Presence Over Productivity with Dr. Kate Otto Chebly
What happens when you realize the voices that shaped you—school, church, whitewashed "success"—never actually had you in mind? Kate Otto joins me to unpack the toxic productivity scripts so many of us grew up with, especially as ambitious girls in all the wrong environments.
We get into what it takes to deprogram—to save yourself, in your 30s or whenever you wake up—from the grind-at-all-costs gospel. Kate shares her real, lived practice of presence, why attention is sacred, and how committing to be fully in the moment is the most countercultural move you can make. Spoiler alert: you don’t have to do it all. You just have to show up for what you said yes to.
🎧 If you’ve ever felt like productivity was your only worth, this one’s your permission slip to stop hustling for gold stars—and start giving them to yourself.
