Raising Good Humans

When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic and What We Can Do About It


Listen Later

Is the drive for success pushing us and our kids too far? In today's episode we sit down with Jennifer Wallace, author of Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic. We break down the hidden dangers of achievement culture and how it can become toxic, leading to burnout, anxiety, and an unhealthy obsession with "doing more." We explore the impact this mindset has on mental health, self-worth, and relationships, and discuss why constantly chasing success might be doing more harm than good.
