Andrea McLean Instagram – Oh my goodness, this week’s conversation is a SCORCHER! Toxic Productivity is probably a term you’ve heard of but thought it’s a fancy pants name for someone who is grumpy and busy. I know I did. It’s not. It’s the term used to describe someone who is permanently busy, even when they have run out of energy, motivation and strength but keep limping on because they don’t know any other way to be. 🙋🏻‍♀️ That’s me. I have crashed and burned over and over, and still didn’t learn. I even wrote a Sunday Times best-selling book about it, and guess what? I forgot my own life lessons, didn’t take my own advice, and blooming well did it again! That’s why this week’s Midlife Conversation is so good, because it’s a reminder that all of us are fighting our way, like salmon swimming upstream, against a tide of social conditioning and social media content that constantly tells us we have to ‘slay’, we have to push through, and keep going, and quitting is for losers. In this week’s powerful conversation, Heather Agan de Visser and I discuss: 🤔 How the whole structure on while our working life is based comes from a 100 year old premise which is no longer relevant. 😬 Why we feel guilty for not being busy – and how we can change our mindset around that. 🤯 How our need to please and prove our worth works brilliantly for others, but not for us – and what to do about that. 😨 How fear of losing control stops us from letting go. 😳 How we end up making everything about us and how we appear, rather than who we are. If you’ve only just realised you’ve become a human doing rather than a human being, you need to watch this conversation!
