In this episode, Rachael + Jennifer consider Anne Helen Petersen’s insightful essay, “Against ‘Feel Free To Take Some Time If You Need It’,” which considers the internal and external pressure to stay productive at all costs.

“The myth of meritocracy teaches you that if you do say no, you are closing off roads to your potential excellence. Or, more bluntly, you are not ambitious, and a lack of ambition (at least in the United States) usually means that whatever financial fate befalls you, you deserve it.” — Anne Helen Petersen
