on today's episode we are chatting all about hustle culture, our society's obsession with constant productivity and the glamorization of workaholism. if you've been following me on social media as of recently you will know that i have felt beyond burnt out these last few weeks + it's got me reflecting a lot about my relationship to both work and productivity. we chat about what hustle culture is, what differentiates toxic productivity from mere passion + hard work, the ways in which our obsession with productivity is negatively impacting our mental health + what we can do about it.

we also get a bit vulnerable as i share some new inner revelations i've had in my personal life as of late which speak to some of the ways my experience with evangelicalism + the pain i experienced when leaving it has influenced my bend towards workaholism.

so if you find yourself feeling exhausted by life and need that extra bit of encouragement that it's okay to take a break, then this episode is going to be for you.
