My work ethic made me strive for bigger and better things, which is excellent, right? But it was at the sacrifice of my health to get there

Our work ethic, strive for excellence and the want to have more, can be a huge driving factor in our success, but can also be a detriment to our lives. Growing up in certain environments and cultures show us how to live our lives, and what a good life looks like, and we just believe it without any question.

But what happens when you lose yourself in this quest for societys definition of happiness?

In this week's episode, Lydia Lee takes us along her journey of self-discovery, navigating stress and how to move downstream with life. It can be scary to unlearn, break down what you know and rediscover who you are. And we all have to start somewhere, so...What are you responsible for, and accountable for creating this reality for yourself?
