Productivity dysmorphia is that feeling of constantly doing a lot but never feeling like it is enough. In this episode, I talk about what productivity dysmorphia is, why it shows up so strongly for high-achieving people, and how it has quietly shaped the way I view my work, my goals, and my rest.

I reflect on a very hard year that ended with unexpected joy and clarity, and what it has looked like to unlearn hustle culture, release unrealistic expectations, and redefine what enough means for this season of my life.

If you have ever felt guilty for resting, minimized your accomplishments, or believed you were behind even while doing the most, this episode is for you. As we head into a new year, this is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and step forward with more intention and self-trust.

In this episode of Where Did I Put My Glasses?, I talk honestly about grieving the life I thought I would have, and learning to honor the one I actually built.

I reflect on the dreams I had as a child, the detours life required, the weight of responsibility, loss, and relationships that didn’t work out. I also share the parts of my story that often get left out: the freedom, the travel, the growth, the degrees, and the life I was able to create because I didn’t have to hold myself back.

This is a conversation about holding grief and gratitude at the same time, redefining timelines, and choosing intentional love instead of forced companionship. If you’ve ever looked at your life and felt both proud and tender at once, this episode is for you.
