Somewhere along the way, we were taught that if it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t count. Yeah… we’re not buying that anymore.   In this episode, we unpack the real roots of hustle culture—from puritanical values to modern-day productivity obsession—and how it’s shaped the way we think about success, worth, and rest.   We’re talking:   Why burnout gets rewarded How we internalize “I should be doing more”...
