EP 731 When Productivity Becomes a Prison: Releasing the Survival Cycle

Productivity can look like success on the outside… but inside, it can feel like a prison. In this episode of ProjectME with Tiffany Carter, I’m pulling back the curtain on a survival pattern I carried since childhood and how it shaped my business, my nervous system, and my relationship with abundance. If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, unsafe when you’re still, or terrified that your success will collapse if you stop producing… this conversation will speak directly to you.

What if the breakdown you’re in right now is actually the bridge to your next timeline? In this raw, story-driven episode, Tiffany pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest timeline jumps of her life, a season that looked like everything was falling apart, but was actually falling into place.
