For years, I lived the high-performing-professional dream: global engineering gigs, major projects, leadership roles… and a constant low-grade panic humming in the background.
When I became COO of a consulting firm, I thought I’d “made it.”
Instead, I made myself miserable.
My toddler’s smile had to compete with my inbox.
My weekends blurred into “just one more email.”
Then life hit me hard... my dad got sick and suddenly passed, and I realized I’d been optimizing everything except myself.
That moment changed everything.
I quit. I studied. I reverse-engineered burnout using the only lens I trusted: science.
What I discovered became Relaxed Productivity — a logical, science-based system that redefines success from the inside out.
