Spring Cleaning: Compassionate Productivity & Whole-Life Decluttering with Lisa Zawrotny Artwork

The Sparkle Project

(Formerly Worthy Mother Podcast)

The Sparkle Project is a feminist podcast for moms who are done carrying the weight of motherhood alone and are ready to connect with who they truly are - their sparkle, if you will.

So many of us feel overwhelmed not because we’re failing, but because we’re mothering inside a patriarchal system that expects us to give endlessly, stay quiet, and lose ourselves in the process. This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.

Hosted by Emily Rose MacDonald, a divorced mom of two on her own journey to shine a little brighter, each episode explores the realities of modern motherhood through a feminist lens that values equity, autonomy, mental health, and the humanity of moms.

You’ll hear conversations about identity, mental health, self-care, healing, and the many ways we can reclaim ourselves in a world that often overlooks the needs of mothers.

If you’re a mom who believes we deserve more than survival, and that our culture has to evolve for moms to truly thrive, you’re in the right place.

Spring Cleaning: Compassionate Productivity & Whole-Life Decluttering with Lisa Zawrotny

April 02, 2024 • Episode 91

It's spring cleaning time - and that means it's time to intentionally make space in our lives for what truly matters! This week, I'm joined by productivity strategist and accountability coach Lisa Zawrotny for a conversation on compassionate productivity and whole-life decluttering. If you're anything like me and find conversations about productivity to be a bit jarring, don't worry - this is much different than your typical time-management, make the system work productivity conversation you might be used to!

In this episode, Lisa and I discuss:

Compassion as such a necessary part of the productivity conversation, particularly for caregivers.
The purpose of productivity - it's not just about doing more
Why simple tends to be better when it comes to systems
Energy management versus time management
Whole-life decluttering as a way to create more space for what actually matters

A little about our guest:
Lisa Zawrotny is a Productivity Strategist + Accountability Coach, the founder of Positively Productive Systems, and the host of the Positively Living™ Podcast. She helps multitasking creatives and caregivers reduce overwhelm and boost productivity without burning out and without sacrificing what they love. When she’s not sharing how to simplify and stress less, you’ll find her hanging out with her husband and kiddos, acting like a rock star or watching movies, and sometimes hiding out with an iced coffee and a good book, most likely trapped under a cat.
