Emily Guerra is a certified Productivity Life Coach and creator of The Productivity Flow.

Emily became a Productivity Life Coach to shift our society’s toxic culture around productivity and mental health. The majority of people think that being productive means being as busy as possible, having a full to-do list, leaving no personal time on the calendar, or aiming for unrealistic expectations.

But in reality, being productive is a state of mind – meaning it’s about knowing what your priorities are, letting go of negative thoughts and external interruptions, creating an action plan that aligns with your values, and having faith in your flow. Sadly though, training our mindset isn’t taught in school or the workplace.

Ever feel like the pressure to handle it all is just too much? You're not alone. On my journey, I've learned that burnout doesn't care how successful you appear. It sneaks up on everyone. Join me as we discover how to spot burnout's disguise and take action to reclaim our peace and balance.

Why do we need to feel “guilty” about the things that make us happy? Why should we be ashamed? Typically, those “guilty pleasures” are the things that make me smile and that I look back on with happy memories.

When we talk about guilty pleasures,  it’s the fact that the activity is solely for pleasure - and not necessarily productive - that we see it as a luxury rather than a necessity.  There’s a lot of baggage we need to break down, as guilt is a learned behavior - so let’s unlearn it!

This episode will help us begin to look not only at where that guilt comes from but also how to begin letting that guilt go!

Isabelle Fortin is a veteran turned mindset coach. Like you, she has been stuck in a mental rut.

Despite having a supportive family and friends, a good job, and financial stability, she found herself feeling unhappy and constantly haunted by negative thoughts and limiting beliefs about herself. She realized she was basing her self-worth on the opinions of others and THAT was not a healthy way to live. So began a long journey to healing and self-discovery.

We can spend so much time, money, and energy on improving our physical health, whether that's through buying healthy foods, getting a gym membership, buying certain types of clothes, etc.

But what about nurturing your emotional well-being?

In this episode, I talk about being aware of what are you consuming for your emotional health and well-being.

Burnout is like a sneaky ninja that creeps up on you when you least expect it, right?

So, let's shine a light on the BLOCKS that can trigger this exhausting phenomenon.  Because it’s not just outside situations that can cause burnout - sometimes it’s US - we’re the problem and get in our own way from living the kind of life we keep saying we want to have. 

So in the episode, I want to share some of these blocks and have you do a little scan/self-assessment to see if this is something you might be doing and need to be conscious of and aware of so that you can intentionally work on to prevent it.
