#121: Compulsive Striving: Are You Hustling For Your Worth?


Listen Later

Has your life become all about setting and achieving goals? When you encounter problems in life, is your solution to do more, work harder, and put another goal in place only to turn around and repeat this cycle when the next problem presents itself? Listen to this episode of The Appetite where Opal Co-Founders, Lexi Giblin, PhD and Kara Bazzi, LMFT discuss how this compulsive striving approach to life can work for you AND against you. With a particular eye on disordered eating and movement, they ask questions to help you discern if your values or the achievement hustle is driving your life. With society's value on high productivity, this conversation offers a welcome reprieve from hustle culture and suggests that practicing the art of non-productivity is exactly what is most needed.
