Episode 95: Find Joy In Doing Less And Breathing Easier with Lisa Zawrotny
Every time you find yourself lost and powerless in a hurricane of mixed feelings and endless to-do lists, remember you are the one who created it; therefore, you have everything you need to calm the storm.
In this episode, I'm very excited to be joined by the captivating Lisa Zawrotny. Lisa is a Productivity and Accountability Coach, the Founder of the Positively Productive Systems, and the Host of the Positively Living™ Podcast. She thrives by helping multi-passionate creatives and entrepreneurs prioritize what matters, so they can do less, live more, and breathe easier.
Throughout our conversation, we learn about Lisa's "origin story," the defining moment of her life when she was a caretaker of an infant, a toddler, and her mother with Alzheimer's. We learn about the importance of practicing physical and mental decluttering to reach joy, the difference between spending time in the zone of genius and the zone of excellence, and we deconstruct how we measure productivity.
In addition, we talk about how to keep things real and avoid toxic positivity, our reality-creating filters, how to calm our storm, and more.
