Ep. 129 How Your Sun Sign + Human Design Respond to Overwhelm
The Productivity for Living Podcast
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what overwhelm really is—and how your Sun sign and Human Design type can show you the way out. Before Productivity for Living got its glow-up, it was called From Overwhelmed to Under Control—and honestly, that phrase still hits. Because that’s where it all started: building a business to help people like me who were drowning in to-do lists, pressure, and perfectionism. I used to teach structure, routines, and habit stacking (and they work!), but over time, I realized something deeper—our energy matters. Your Sun sign, your Human Design, your...

128. How Your Sun Sign Can Help You Stop Procrastinating
The Productivity for Living Podcast
In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics—procrastination—and what your Sun sign has to do with it. I'm going to scream it until I'm blue in the face: procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s resistance. It’s a nervous system response.

You end up spiraling in shame or just re-writing your to-do list 16 times while cleaning your baseboards instead of hitting send on the email. But, as a productivity coach, what I've learned is...

The Productivity for Living Podcast
In today’s episode, I’m diving into the astrology-meets-productivity conversation that has completely transformed the way I work—and the way I coach.

The Productivity for Living Podcast
In today’s episode, I’m diving into the topic of breaking free from the "capable one" trap. I’m sharing my own journey of learning that just because I can do it all doesn’t mean I should.
