EP 62: Productive Distraction

Most high achievers crave clarity but unknowingly crowd out their own intuition with more productivity. If clearing distractions hasn’t brought the insight you expected, maybe the real work isn’t in doing. It’s in listening.

In this episode, Corinne Morahan explores why the habit of staying busy can become a barrier to intuition. She shares her own experience of stripping away clutter, only to realize that empty space doesn’t automatically lead to deeper self-trust. Instead of filling every free moment with more tasks, what if the real shift comes from creating room for stillness?

Corinne challenges the belief that productivity equals progress. She offers a different approach: one that invites curiosity, quiet, and self-trust. If you’ve ever wondered why clarity still feels out of reach despite all your effort, this episode might change the way you think about success.
