“There’s More to Me”: Chris Abdey on Emotional Resilience, Humor, and Healing
Watch the full video here: Chris Abdey on Keep Calm
At Keep Calm, we’re always seeking voices that strike a delicate balance—those who are professional, yes, but who also bring raw humanity to the table. Chris Abdey is one of those voices. In his feature conversation with us, Chris opened up about what lies beneath the polished exterior of a life coach and productivity expert: a man who uses humor as a healing tool, puzzles as metaphors for life, and deep conversations to unlock real emotional resilience.
Chris—founder of Procrastination Station and a certified productivity coach—doesn’t just help people cross tasks off a to-do list. He helps them reclaim a sense of self amid the chaos. His work isn’t about hustle culture or bullet journaling hacks. It’s about showing up, honestly and imperfectly, and doing the inner work that makes outer work possible.
What made his segment with Keep Calm so powerful was its gentleness. Chris reminded us that emotional resilience doesn’t always look like grit or pushing through pain. Sometimes it looks like laughing through uncertainty, giving yourself permission to pause, and seeing your healing as part of your purpose.
“I’m an open book,” Chris said. “No topic is off limits. I want people to feel safe being messy around me. That’s how healing begins—when we stop pretending and start connecting.”
Chris’s take on emotional resilience is a breath of fresh air in a world that too often rewards burnout. With tools, empathy, and humor, he’s teaching others how to not only be productive—but to be whole.
