If you struggle with feeling the need to be productive 24/7 or you’ve used the phrase “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.”, you’re going to want to listen to this episode, where we’re getting into the topic of toxic productivity—the drive to be constantly 'on' and productive, even at the expense of our well-being. We’ll explore what toxic productivity is, why so many of us fall into this trap, and how it can impact our health, happiness, and even our work. Join us as we unpack the signs of toxic productivity, discuss how to recognize it in your own life, and share strategies for finding a healthier, more sustainable approach to productivity.

Have you ever wondered why so many people are choosing not to have kids, even as the global population keeps growing? It’s a paradox that speaks volumes about the world we live in today. From skyrocketing living costs to shifting cultural norms and the hyper-digital age we navigate daily, the reasons behind this trend are complex—and they affect all of us.

Today, we’re diving into the concept of social infertility: the idea that external pressures and circumstances, rather than biological factors, are leading more people to decide against parenthood. Along the way, we’ll share our own experiences, grapple with tough questions, and reflect on what it means to make—or not make—the decision to have children in the 21st century.

Have you ever heard of the concept of a “third place”? For those of you that are unfamiliar, the term was coined by author and sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book called “The Great Good Place.” It touches on the importance of community – outside of our family and work life. This concept has piqued our interest in our recent conversations around friendship and community and we believe this is a critical part of a fulfilled life. In this episode, we’re excited to dive into first, second, and specifically third places with you.
