Welcome to Episode 7 of JJ Unplugged, where we stop glorifying burnout and start talking about what healing actually looks like.

In this episode, we:

Expose the “hustle as identity” myth and how it sneaks into self-development culture

Talk about guilt around rest and why slowing down feels unsafe

Explore emotional healing as something lived, not performed

Laugh at our own toxic productivity habits (and the notebooks that didn’t save us)

Discuss the emotional side of overachievement — the validation loops, people-pleasing, and perfection spirals

Offer practical micro-reset strategies that don’t require disappearing for six months

Reflect on what “enough” really feels like

Content note: Includes candid conversation around burnout, mental health, and emotional regulation.

P.S. We’re not medical or mental health professionals. Everything we share on this podcast is based on our own personal experiences and opinions. If you’re dealing with any mental health concerns, we always recommend speaking to a qualified professional.
