    Why You’re Always Feeling Behind: The Psychology of Toxic Productivity with Israa Nasir

In this episode of Clock In, I’m joined by Israa Nassir, trained-therapist, writer, and mental health advocate, to break down toxic productivity — why high achievers are especially prone to it, and how ambition can quietly turn into anxiety, burnout, and chronic self-pressure. We unpack: Why productivity culture makes even successful people feel like they’re failing How ambition gets tied to self-worth and identity Why rest feels uncomfortable (or even unsafe) for high performers How “doing more” becomes a coping mechanism, not a strategy What a healthier relationship with work actually looks like If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, anxious when you’re not being productive, or like no amount of success ever feels like enough — this conversation will help you understand why you feel this way, and how to start breaking the cycle.

    Your job can’t love you back — but that doesn’t mean a layoff won’t hurt. This week, I’m joined by Ilana Dunn, host of Seeing Other People and one of the most thoughtful voices on dating, self-worth, and navigating major life transitions online. Ilana went through a layoff herself, and together we unpack what happens when your career rug gets pulled out from under you. We talk about the emotional whiplash of layoffs, why so many high performers get cut, and how to rethink your identity when the job you built your life around disappears.

We get into: Why layoffs are rarely personal (even when they feel devastating)The grief, shame, and panic no one warns you aboutRebuilding confidence after being “cut”When a career pivot is actually a power moveWhy tying your self-worth to your job will always backfireFollow Ilana on Instagram  and check out her podcast Seeing Other People for honest conversations about dating, identity, and becoming yourself again. https://www.instagram.com/seeingotherpeople/ https://www.instagram.com/ilanadunn/ If you’ve ever stayed loyal to a company that wouldn’t hesitate to replace you, this episode is your reminder: your career should serve you, not the other way around.
