Insights from Lisa Zawrotny, Founder of Positively Productive Systems

On About IBD Podcast Episode 170, I talk to Lisa Zawrotny, a productivity coach, founder of Positively Productive Systems, and host of the Positively Living Podcast. We talk about how people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis) or other chronic illnesses have unique challenges when it comes to productivity. Our discussion focuses on how to manage stress and clutter effectively when coping with low energy and flare-ups. Lisa shares her personal journey as a caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer’s and her experiences with chronic pain, which have profoundly influenced her approach to productivity coaching. In this post, I break down the key insights and actionable advice shared in the episode.
