941: Creating Without Guilt: The Middle Ground Between Hustle & Balance


Listen Later

We've been conditioned to believe that work falls into one of two extremes: either you're grinding non-stop, pushing yourself to exhaustion, or you've mastered the elusive work-life balance. But what if that’s a false choice? As a creator, I’ve realized that some of my work doesn’t feel like work at all. It can be play, it can be art, and it can feel deeply satisfying. Yet, there’s pressure to justify how we spend our time, as if every choice determines our worth.

    In today’s episode, I challenge these ideas. What if we stopped obsessing over whether we’re working “the right way” and embraced creativity for what it is? Something that brings us joy. How would we show up differently without judgment from others or ourselves? Let’s explore how letting go of these pressures can transform the way we work and live!
