DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST

Ep. 11: Reimagining Productivity

with Uriah Guilford

What if productivity could feel less like a grind and more like joy? In today’s episode of Deeply Rested, host Maegan Megginson sits down with Uriah Guilford, a licensed therapist, group practice owner, and author of Productive Practice, to explore the complicated relationship between productivity and well-being. 

Maegan opens up about her love-hate relationship with productivity—how societal pressures often tie self-worth to output—while recognizing its importance as a business owner.

Uriah, who runs Productive Therapist, a virtual assistant company for therapists, offers a refreshing take on productivity, showing how it can be fun, joyful, and aligned with personal values. 

Together, Maegan and Uriah challenge the traditional “hustle” mindset and offer personalized strategies that are particularly helpful for neurodivergent individuals. Tune in to hear Uriah and Maegan redefine productivity in a way that emphasizes human connection and personal fulfillment over grinding away for metrics. Uriah shares practical tips on delegation, slow growth, and staying true to what matters most.
