To thrive in life, and to make money at work, we are told that there is a formula for success: work hard, hustle, be a team player, follow the rules, check off all the boxes, move up the ladder, think outside the box (but not that far outside!), and definitely don't let your personal life affect your work performance.
But what if you are inherently missing an ingredient in that formula? Alison Tedford is here to tell you that formulas are exclusionary by default, that you most decidedly do NOT have to hustle to thrive, and you can take care of your own wellbeing FIRST, while still making money.
Listen to this interview to hear how we can build a more accessible and equitable workforce, do work that works for us, and continue to dismantle the toxic/patriarchal/grind culture that leaves us all exhausted.
Alison is an author, diversity and inclusion expert and entrepreneur from Abbotsford, BC, Canada. She's an Indigenous mom with a disability and hope for a more accessible future.
Her book Chronic Profit helps entrepreneurs struggling with chronic pain to simplify, systematize and use self-care to build businesses and lives that work for them.
