The Hustle Hangover: Curing Productivity Culture with Sophie Cliff

Let’s be honest - most productivity advice wasn’t written with women in mind. In this episode, I’m joined by Sophie Cliff, aka The Joyful Coach, to talk about why the usual “do more, wake up earlier, hustle harder” advice just doesn’t work for everyone - and what to do instead.Sophie is a coach, author and positive psychology practitioner who has spent a decade building a successful career in sales and marketing and uses her expertise to help people flourish and thrive by finding more joy. She delivers training on all things joy and wellbeing for organisations.We unpack everything from sleep chronotypes and nervous system regulation to redefining success and building a life based on your values (not someone else’s Instagram feed). Sophie shares her four productivity archetypes and how to figure out what actually works for you.If you’ve ever felt shame about not being able to “stick to the plan,” this episode is your permission slip to burn the old rules and start creating a version of success that feels like joy.Here are the highlights:(2:29) Sophie Cliff’s Background (12:31) Intentional Living(19:19) Productivity and Biological Wiring(28:41) The Four Productivity types(32:33) Productivity Means Progress,Connect with Sophie:www.sophiecliff.comwww.instagram.com/sophiecliffhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1hPpSIwfFOxCH3gcI514SL?si=c610ce22dd3841f8To find out more:WebsiteInstagram(FREE) THE CUSHY WORK WEEK PLAYBOOKThis podcast is proudly produced by Wavemakers Audio
