Fishing Without Bait 494: The Myth of Productivity & the Path to Real Joy with Santina Grace
In this week’s episode of Fishing Without Bait, Jim Ellermeyer welcomes back one of our most beloved returning guests—clairvoyant medium Santina Grace—for the first part of a powerful and heartfelt conversation on navigating life’s chaos, finding joy, and reconnecting with your inner self.
Together, Jim and Santina dive deep into:
How to find joy in a world that feels increasingly fast, overwhelming, and uncertain
The myth of productivity—and how tying your worth to output robs you of presence
The value of mindfulness in even the smallest creature comforts
Protecting your energy from negativity, fear, and the nonstop flow of media
Recognizing the difference between pleasure and true joy
How our memories become anchors of peace—especially through difficult times
Generational patterns of unworthiness and how we can break them
Living with gratitude, immediacy, openness, and curiosity
How our choices shape our experience—and how joy is always available in the present moment
Santina shares stories from her work, insights about human behavior, and practical ways to reconnect with your sense of meaning, gratitude, and internal guidance—even when the world feels chaotic.
This is a warm, thoughtful, grounding conversation perfectly suited for the holiday season and the turning of a new year.
