I am so excited to welcome psychotherapist and author Israa Nasir to the show to talk about her new book, Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More. If you're a high-functioning codependent, tune in, because I think we tend to struggle with this!
Israa shares practical strategies we can use to stop feeling like we need to do it all. We also touch on what healthy productivity looks like, signs you might be falling into toxic productivity, the dangers of running on autopilot, and feeling like you have to prove yourself.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

0:00.0 | Well, hello there and welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole Show. I think you're going to love |
0:06.9 | this interview with Isra Nasir. So this is a therapist that I actually, I didn't even realize |
0:15.6 | it until we got on to record that I met her in L.A. when I was out there doing some podcasts with Ariel |
