Are you so totally over hustle culture? Same. The idea that you've just gotta keep on running faster and working harder is completely broken. Who wants to live like that? Seriously! You're already working your butt off. Plus... hustle culture comes with a heaping side of impostor syndrome and burnout. Ugh - hard pass! So what's being Unreasonable got to do with it? Well it's probably not what you think. It's not about being foolish or extreme. What it is about is turning off that unsupportive, unhelpful, counter-awesome part of your brain that tells you all the reasons why you can't or won't or shouldn't. That's right. It's time to get completely Unreasonable (without reasons) why you don't deserve exactly what you want in your life and career. Because here's the thing: it is possible to have both of those things - without hustling harder! Don't believe it? Just ask your hosts. Wait...who's hostin' this thing?
