## Resource

In this episode, Dr. Milt Lowder and Anthony Alibro unpack the growing pressure to constantly produce, achieve, and stay busy. Together, they explore "productivity dysmorphia," or the distorted belief that no matter how much you accomplish, it's never enough. Through powerful stories, practical psychology, and honest reflection, they challenge listeners to rethink success and stop allowing productivity to define self-worth. If you've ever felt exhausted while still believing you should be doing more, this conversation is for you.
