Podcast Episode 318: 3 Myths About Productivity Hacks That Keep You Stuck in a Toxic Cycle with Israa Nasir, MHC-LP

Ever caught yourself thinking, “If I just add one more productivity hack to my day, I’ll finally have it all together?”

Yeah, same. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t work.

If you’re juggling a color-coded calendar, a never-ending to-do list, and that half-eaten granola bar from last week (hey, no waste!), you might just be stuck in a toxic productivity cycle.

Here’s the deal: being busy doesn’t equal being productive. In fact, multitasking—aka the mythical unicorn of working moms—actually fries your brain faster than your kids asking for snacks on repeat. And perfectionism? Don’t get me started. It’s just a sneaky way of saying, “I’m going to stress myself out over things no one else even notices.”

In this episode, we’re joined by the amazing Israa Nasir, a New York City-based psychotherapist, founder of WellGuide—a digital community for mental health awareness, and author of the new book: TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More. With her help, we’re going to break down why being busy doesn’t always mean being productive and how trying to do it all might be burning us out faster than our kids can say, “What’s for dinner?”

So, let’s take a deep breath and rethink this whole hustle culture nonsense. It’s time to ditch the guilt, skip the hacks, and focus on what really matters: living a life that’s fun, fulfilling, and not dictated by a planner.

You in?

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • What “toxic productivity” is and how it shows up in your life.
  • The big lie we’ve all been told about multitasking.
  • How perfectionism might be keeping you stuck in a never-ending toxic cycle of overachievement.
  • How taking control of your time and energy (on your terms) is your superpower…and you didn’t even know you had it!
