Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because the way you’ve been taught to work doesn’t always support how your brain and energy actually function, especially in this season of life.I’m joined by Steven Puri, founder of The Sukha Company and studio executive at 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Pictures.

It’s about doing what actually matters.Why you can feel busy all day but still feel behindWhat’s actually happening when your focus feels scatteredHow constant interruptions impact your energy and progressWhat “flow state” really means (in a practical, real-life way)The simple shift that helps you move your day forwardHow to start working with your energy instead of against itLearn more about Steven and his work: https://www.thesukha.co/Rachel's Free Resources:Mood Swings?
