Work is an important element of life. But if it begins to subsume the other things, that's not going to be entirely healthy or fulfilling. Hustle culture creates a toxic environment that pressures you to work constantly and makes you feel like you can never say no. It doesn't allow for the establishment of healthy boundaries. And burnout as a result of working really hard has short-term impacts on our general state of mental well-being, but also on your long-term health.
This week talk about the cultural phenomenon of hustle culture, the rise and grind age of work and professional success. We also discuss the role of burnout in this relationship and how we can recentre our lives to avoid this type of exhaustion and free ourselves of the stress and pressures of the need to always be hustling.
