Self Care Club

Toxic Motivation


Listen Later

Clubbers, it's January, which means it's dark, cold and long! So we decided to gift you a few of our favourite episodes from the archives - to hopefully help brighten your mood and inspire you to look after yourself.

Enjoy x

In this episode, we’re challenging rise and grind culture and the myth of "non-stop productivity" by exploring the impact of toxic motivation on our mental health, relationships, and self-worth. We dive into the pressure to constantly hustle and level up, questioning whether the pursuit of success is really worth sacrificing our well-being.

Are we truly doing better, or are we just exhausted? We’ll examine the harmful effects of the "do more, be more" narrative that’s often perpetuated on social media, in the workplace, and in our inboxes. Is the hustle helping us thrive, or just pushing us toward burnout?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the need to always be improving, this episode is for you. We’ll discuss how to find a healthier, more sustainable approach to motivation—one that doesn’t leave us drained, disconnected, or disillusioned.

Tune in for practical insights on how to set boundaries, embrace rest, and redefine success on your own terms. If this resonates with you, share it with a friend who might need to hear it too!

In this episode we discuss:

  • The myth of "non-stop productivity"
  • The dangers of toxic motivation and comparison culture
  • How hustle culture impacts mental health and well-being
  • Finding a sustainable approach to motivation
  • Redefining success without burnout
