Hustle culture says: grind ‘til you make it.
Soft life marketing says: rest is the reward.

But what if neither is the full story?

In this episode, I open up about my own extremes — hustling myself into collapse, and then floating in a “soft” bubble that didn’t feel like real life. Both left me stuck. 

What actually worked? The messy middle: building a business that’s sustainable, human, and true to me.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why hustle without direction is pointless.
• The trap of treating rest like something you have to “earn.”
• What softness actually looks like when it fits real life, not Instagram.
• Why neither extreme will give you the business you want.
• A simple reflection to help you define what hustle + ease mean for you.
