What happens when every hobby becomes a hustle? When rest feels like wasted time? When you can't remember the last thing you did that no one else saw?

In this episode, I walk through the slow erosion of personal space in the age of the creator economy — how the pressure to monetize, optimize, and perform has turned passions into products and people into brands. From the pull of nice things to the trap of hustle culture, from algorithm anxiety to the death of amateurism, this is a conversation about what we lose when everything we love has to justify its existence financially.

This isn't about rejecting ambition or meaningful work. It's about reclaiming the right to be private, to be imperfect, to do things just because we want to — without an audience, without a strategy, without needing it to earn its place.

A reflection on exhaustion, identity, and the quiet practice of returning to yourself.
