Hustle Culture is Out and Self-Care is In

In this episode I'm taking on the topic of hustle culture and why it's time to embrace a slower, more intentional approach to creativity and business. How can slowing down actually help us accomplish more in the long run? I explore the importance of rest, self-care, and finding alignment in our work, and why sometimes, the fastest way to success is by moving slower.

Key Takeaways:

• Hustle culture promotes a “go-go-go” mentality that often leads to burnout, exhaustion, and a lack of creativity.
• Slowing down allows for deeper creative breakthroughs and sustainable growth.
• Rest and self-care are not luxuries but necessities for thriving in a creative business.
• The paradox: Sometimes, the more time you take off, the more productive and fulfilled you become.
• Tips for practicing slowing down: scheduling time off, creating space for rest, and prioritizing joy over busyness.

Quotes from the Episode:

• “Sometimes, slow is the fastest way to go.”
• “You can’t pour from an empty cup, and creativity needs space to breathe.”
• “Success is not about how busy we are but how aligned and fulfilled we feel in our work.”
