Are you actually productive…or just busy all the time?

In this episode, speaker, coach and author Donna McGeorge flips the usual productivity conversation on its head. Instead of asking how to fit more in, she asks a harder question - What can you remove?

We talk about the constant low-level burnout most of us live with, the addiction to saying yes, and how often we sacrifice our future self just to avoid discomfort right now. Donna breaks down her idea of Red Brick Thinking - a way of strategically removing emotional, cultural and structural “bricks” so you can reclaim time, energy and attention.

If you feel like you’re always on and are still falling behind, this conversation will help you breathe, simplify, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for.

This conversation will change how you see therapy.

You’ll learn why psychology isn’t the same as counselling, how the system might be sending you to the wrong kind of help, and what it actually takes to find a therapist who fits you.

We walk through the five pillars of mental health (sleep, food, movement, connection, and meaning) and how small changes in each can help you feel less stuck and more grounded in your life.
