In spite of being a shining light of a human being, Tamu was not immune to burnout, and it features in her story like it does in so many - but in Tamu's case she knew there was more for her and used it as an opportunity to do a lot of self-work, and start again, and the insight she has gained - and now shares - as a result, is truly transformative. In this episode Tamu breaks down toxic productivity, where it comes from and what it means for us, plus how to tackle hard conversations at home. We also dive into the systems keeping us small, matriarchy, owning your power, and how to do some of the crucial self-work to know yourself in ways that allow you to ask for what you want and what you need. A bumper episode filled with so much powerful knowledge. A must listen. Whatever you learn - go forth and flourish!
