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.

After months away from the mic, Carmen is back with an honest and reflective return episode. In this conversation, she shares why she stepped away from podcasting, how comparison and pressure to “do what’s trending” led her to lose confidence, and why choosing alignment over performance brought her back to what she loves most.

This episode walks through a life-changing season that includes eight months of unemployment, a one-way trip to Spain, a deep healing and faith journey, interviews with two universities, and ultimately stepping into a new role as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona. Carmen also reflects on creativity as a form of self-care, from journaling and blogging to outfit-of-the-day moments that helped her reconnect with herself.

If you have ever felt disconnected from your voice, unsure of your next step, or pressured to show up in ways that do not feel true to you, this episode is a reminder that clarity often comes when we stop forcing the timeline and start trusting ourselves again.

Today, Carmen gets personal about the difference between being surrounded and truly supported. She shares stories of lessons learned, healing, and protecting her peace from friendships to business to self-growth. Are the people around you building with you, or just keeping you busy?
