In this episode, I’m opening up about a time when I was dangerously close to losing everything - my health, my relationships, and my business - all because I believed in the myth of hustle culture.

Six years ago, when I started my online coaching business, I thought success was all about working harder, doing more, and always being available. But what I didn’t realise was that this relentless cycle of overwork and zero boundaries was setting me up for failure.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in a constant grind - sacrificing your peace, your energy, and your happiness—this episode is for you. I share the harsh realities of hustle culture, the warning signs I ignored, and how it impacted every part of my life, including my business finances. Most importantly, I dive into the lessons I learned and the mindset shift that helped me escape the toxic cycle of “more is better.”
