3: "I should be working harder"

If you’ve ever felt like you have to grind, hustle, or push yourself to exhaustion just to feel worthy of success - this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m tackling the deeply ingrained belief that success only comes from working harder, longer and sacrificing any of our bodily needs like rest. Sound familiar? This ‘hard work = success’ equation starts young and follows us into adulthood, shaping how we approach our careers, businesses, and even our self-worth.

Here’s what we’re unpacking:

✨ Where this belief comes from (and why it’s so hard to shake).

✨ My own experiences with overwork in sectors that glorify struggle, including religious organizations and academia

✨ Why it’s time to challenge outdated ideas of productivity and success.

✨ How to set your own boundaries and redefine what a truly productive day looks like for you.

I’ll also be sharing insights from Cal Newport’s Deep Work, as well as tools like Human Design, to help you curate workdays that truly honour your energy and personal flow.

🎧 Tune in now to start rewriting your work rules, embracing guilt-free rest, and making productivity a personalized experience instead of a one-size-fits-all grind.
