22 minutes

Have you ever ended your day straight-up exhausted — like you were busy all day, but when you look back, you’ve got almost nothing to show for it? Let me be real with you… it’s not because you need to do more. It’s because hustle culture has tricked you into glorifying multitasking — and baby, that will burn you out every time.

In this episode, I’m calling out multitasking for what it really is: a productivity trap. Hustle culture has us believing that juggling a million things is a badge of honor, when in reality it’s draining our energy, scattering our focus, and robbing us of the self-care we desperately need. If you’re tired of ending your days feeling drained instead of proud, this convo is for you.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn:

Why multitasking is actually task switching and how it secretly kills your focus.

The sneaky ways hustle culture convinces ambitious women to mistake “busy” for “productive.”

Simple, practical strategies to protect your energy, set boundaries, and reclaim your peace through real self-care.

Press play right now to stop glorifying hustle culture, reclaim your focus, and protect your peace so you can show up as your highest self.
