Hustle Rebels
A podcast for burned-out professionals ready to build sustainable success without living in survival mode
Welcome to Hustle Rebels — the weekly wake-up call for driven professionals who are burned out, overworked, and done pretending the grind is normal.
This is a space to challenge the blueprint you were handed, question the conditioning you never consented to, and rebuild success in a way that’s actually sustainable — not just impressive on paper.
Inside the podcast, you’ll learn science-backed tools and practical strategies for:
- regulating your nervous system in high-stress careers
- recovering from burnout without quitting your job or blowing up your life
- setting boundaries that protect your time, energy, and identity
- rebuilding productivity through rest, regulation, and capacity
- navigating anxiety, workplace overwhelm, and dysfunctional leadership
- redefining success so it finally feels like yours
This isn’t hustle-culture motivation or a “fix yourself” self-improvement show.
It’s for professionals who are tired of paying for success with their health, relationships, and sense of self.
Hosted by Renae Mansfield — former firefighter-paramedic turned Nervous System Regulation Coach and founder of Wayward Wellness Coaching — Hustle Rebels flips grind culture on its head and teaches you how to build sustainable success that your nervous system can actually support.
If you’re done white-knuckling your way through a life that looks good on the outside but feels expensive to live — you’re in the right place.
This is Hustle Rebels.
And the rebellion starts here.

BONUS: Exhausted by Design (Part 3) - Rebuilding Trust With Your Nervous System
A foundational bonus mini-series exploring why burnout is a systems issue — originally recorded for YouTube and shared here for context.
In this episode of Hustle Rebels, Renae delves into the hidden costs of the driven archetype celebrated on social media. She explains how praise for constant productivity can inadvertently lead to burnout by making rest feel unsafe. Drawing from her personal experiences as a firefighter paramedic, Renae discusses how to rebuild trust with your body after burnout through consistent, small actions that prioritize rest and self-care. The episode also highlights the differences between control and inner authority and offers practical tips for creating a 'calm portfolio' to achieve sustainable success without sacrificing your well-being.
