73: Why You Need a To-Do List Detox with Murielle Marie

09/15/21 • 31 min

We’re here with business coach Murielle Marie to talk about how to get out of the habit of relentless productivity and how to set goals for ourselves. Murielle is a mentor to the unconventional and is a passionate multi-creative with over two decades of entrepreneurial experience.

Growing up, she saw her father working all day and night and thought that was what she needed to do - constantly stay busy! However, after both her parents passed away - within five weeks of each other - she stepped back to do some soul searching and realized that she never figured out what she wanted to do for herself.

Studying philosophy at university, Murielle became interested in the mind and psychology, specifically, why humans choose to do what they do. Now in her coaching business she strives to help others find out their why, make decisions, and take action on their decisions.

Find out how you can avoid inheriting dreams from others, how you can look for and find what you really want in life, and why you need to get uncomfortable to change your behavior.

74: Are You Busy or Productive?

Are you spending time on tasks that aren’t taking you closer toward your goals? Find out if everything on your to-do list is productive work or if you’re adding items to your list that only keep you busy, leaving you stressed out and overwhelmed.
