Liberatory Business with Simone Seol
Let's build community care, social responsibility, and allyship into every aspect of your business — not as an afterthought, but as a core foundation. Because business isn’t neutral. The way we sell, market, and structure our offers either upholds oppressive systems or actively works to dismantle them.
We’re here to have honest, nuanced, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about what it really means to run a business that is both profitable and radically principled.

20. Breaking the addiction to business growth
In this episode, we're talking about the endless quest for 'more, more, and more' growth and how our pursuit of business growth can actually function like an addiction.
Listen to hear more about:
- Why business growth can literally work like an addictive drug — complete with tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and that never-ending need for a bigger hit
- How you know if you've crossed the line from healthy ambition into something destructive
- The unmet emotional needs that usually drive this whole cycle
- Practical strategies for getting off the treadmill without abandoning your ambitions entirely
Discover how to break free from the cultural narrative that equates your worth with your output, reconnect with what actually nourishes you, and find the kind of growth that makes you more of who you are instead of less.
