76: You’re Not Lazy—You’re Exhausted: Rethinking Productivity and Self-Worth
📝 Episode Description / Show Notes:
What if the real problem isn’t your motivation, your to-do list, or your morning routine?
What if you’re not lazy—you’re exhausted?
In this powerful conversation, John McClain sits down with wellness expert and founder of bnourished, Katie McDonald, to challenge everything we’ve been taught about productivity, hustle culture, and tying our worth to output.
👂 In this episode:
- How self-care became another task on your list—and what to do about it
- Why rest is the ultimate power move (yes, really)
- The real reason you keep falling to the bottom of your own priority list
- How to stop measuring your worth by your productivity
- John and Katie’s personal routines that actually work for ambitious creatives
✨ You’ll walk away with practical tips, fresh perspective, and permission to care for you—the person behind the brand.
