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.
