  • #47 When Goals Become Background Noise
    Feb 10 2026

    In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun explores a quiet but powerful realization: sometimes we don’t abandon our goals—we slowly dilute them. What once excited and energized us can become familiar, safe, and eventually fade into the background of our lives.

    Inspired by a moment in a doctor’s waiting room, Chris unpacks how goals can lose their edge over time. Not because we’re lazy or unmotivated, but because we make them more comfortable, more realistic, and less challenging. And when a goal stops stretching us, it stops changing us.

    This episode is a reminder that productivity isn’t just about doing more. It’s about pursuing goals that align with who you are and who you’re becoming. When your goals are clear, meaningful, and challenging, they create momentum, energy, and growth across every area of life.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How goals slowly become “background noise” without you noticing
    • Why safe goals rarely lead to real transformation
    • The difference between staying busy and pursuing meaningful growth
    • How alignment with your values brings energy back to your goals
    • Key questions to help you evaluate whether a goal still excites you
    • Why clarity—not more effort—is often the real missing piece

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, plateaued, or like something is missing, this episode will help you reconnect with the goals that truly move you.

  • #46 Imposter Syndrome: Why Feeling Unqualified Is a Sign of Growth
    Feb 3 2026

    In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun takes on a mindset that quietly holds many people back: imposter syndrome.

    That voice saying “Who am I to do this?” doesn’t mean you’re unqualified—it often means you’re growing. Chris reframes imposter syndrome as a natural part of stepping into new territory, not a sign you should stop.

    Through personal experience and practical coaching insights, this episode breaks down why imposter syndrome shows up, how comparison and perfectionism fuel it, and what to do when self-doubt threatens your momentum. You’ll learn why confidence doesn’t come before action—and how imperfect action builds real confidence over time.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why imposter syndrome is often a sign of growth
    • How comparison and invisible standards undermine confidence
    • Why waiting to “feel ready” keeps you stuck
    • Practical ways to move forward even when self-doubt shows up

    If you’ve been holding back on a goal or downplaying your work, this episode will help you take the next step with clarity and courage.

  • #45 When Life Disrupts the Plan: Grace, Priorities, and Wholistic Productivity
    Jan 27 2026

    In this deeply personal episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, host Chris LeBrun steps away from the usual format to share an honest reflection on what happens when life completely disrupts your plans.

    With his family navigating an ongoing medical crisis, Chris opens up about exhaustion, shifting priorities, and the quiet pressure we place on ourselves to “push through” when what we really need is grace. This episode is a real-time example of wholistic productivity in practice—not theory.

    Rather than offering a long checklist or system, Chris shares three grounding principles that matter most when life gets heavy and unpredictable:

    • Why taking care of yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary
    • How yesterday’s priorities don’t always deserve today’s energy
    • Why giving yourself grace is often harder than giving it to others

    This episode is a reminder that productivity isn’t about sticking to the plan at all costs. It’s about responding wisely when the plan no longer fits reality—and honoring all three pillars of life: professional, personal, and purpose-driven.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, run down, or guilty for needing to slow down, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
