In recent years, Greek life faced a crisis as the pandemic cast a shadow on recruitment, and the “abolish Greek life” movement grew across campuses. But then came #RushTok — a flurry of TikToks documenting the sorority recruitment process among university campuses, especially in the South. One tag, in particular, soared to remarkable heights: #BamaRush. It chronicled the rush process at the University of Alabama and has garnered an astonishing 3 billion TikTok views (and counting).   This week we speak to writer, journalist, and former sorority sister Anne Helen Petersen, who has been documenting the phenomenon. Why are the videos dominating our feeds? And what does RushTok's popularity say about its stars... and its biggest stans?  Anne Helen Petersen is a writer and journalist whose writing has appeared in BuzzFeed News, The New York Times, Vox, The Atlantic, and more. Her books include Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation.

“Rachel Hollis is a manifestation of a larger ideology about women's place in society. That if you just try hard enough, all of these structural issues that are making your life really, really hard can be solved if you just wash your face. .” - Anne Helen PetersenAnne Helen Petersen is one of our most essential cultural observers. Her work at Buzzfeed culminated in her 2020 book, Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. Now she's using Culture Study, her Substack newsletter, to explore everything from The Unified Theory of Peloton to how to make friends.   In the episode, Laura and Anne unpack the faux empowerment of Rachel Hollis, the ways we sell quick fixes to systemic problems (like how a bath bomb will overcome the ways our society devalues women, and, particularly mothers) and the myth of “having it all.”More than ever, this is one to share with your favorite people!Readings mentioned in the show:Culture Study - AHP's newsletter and community. Towards A Unified Theory of Peloton by Anne Helen PetersenHow Millennials Became The Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Petersen“Girl, Wash Your Face” Is A Massive Best-Seller With A Dark Message by Laura TurnerA Quick Explainer On Why People Aren't Happy With Rachel HollisIf you care about these kinds of conversations, we hope you'll become a TMST Plus member.  Episode link: https://www.tmstpod.com/episodes/60-anne-helen-petersen-on-burnout-and-the-myth-of-having-it-allSpotify playlist for this episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/56aVWMg3xGWSWGCXZzlVa3Here's the transcript: https://tell-me-something-true.simplecast.com/episodes/anne-helen-petersen-on-burnout-and-the-myth-of-having-it-all/transcriptTell Me Something True is a 100% independent podcast.

We're all in a process of reimagining when it comes to work, looking at the changes we've made over the last few years, and trying to figure out what we'll keep, what we'll let go of, and how else we might want to change the way we work in order to feel the way we want to feel. And, what so many are realizing is that we've got more power to reimagine every aspect of work now than we've ever had before. Question is, what do we do with that power? And what do we do with this moment of openness to new ways of working and living?These questions are what we dive into with today's guest, Anne Helen Peterson. Anne is a journalist whose wise, often irreverent, funny, and provocative writing appeared in Buzzfeed, the New York Times and more, before leaving the mainstream to become the voice behind the wildly-popular newsletter, Culture Study. She's also the author of four books, most recently Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (co-written with Charlie Warzel) and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation.During our conversation, we talk about everything from where we live and work to the traditional role of the 9-5 work week and how, as we look at what's important to us, companies, businesses and the promise of what remote work can bring, there's an opportunity to change the way we think about work which ultimately then opens the door to shifting old-schoolwork schedules and models across many industries. One of my favorite moments of this conversation is at minute 35:03 when Anne makes a really compelling case for the 4-day work week, showing how she's witnessed its success even in, as she calls them, “fuddy-duddy industries.” We also talk about Ann's power move from mainstream media journalist and big city living to going out on her own as a writer, starting her own subscription newsletter, moving to a remote island, and loving it all. If you're ready to think about working differently, this episode will be a beacon for you.

Sue Bethanis hosts culture critic and author, Anne Helen Petersen. A former senior culture writer for BuzzFeed News, Anne now writes about the future of work, celebrity, burnout, and more at her newsletter, Culture Study, as a full-time venture on Substack. She is the author of four books, most recently Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (co-written with Charlie Warzel) and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. Her previous books, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud and Scandals of Classic Hollywood, were featured in NPR, Elle, and The Atlantic. She received her Ph.D. in media studies from the University of Texas and lives in Lummi Island, Washington.  Sue and Anne discuss these four key aspects of tapping into the promise of remote work: Flexibility – the future of work has to be guided by a new form of flexibility in which the work, not the workers themselves, becomes more malleable.  Culture – a company culture can be shifted, but it has to start with a dramatic rethinking of what management actually looks like, in and outside of the traditional office.  Technologies of the Office – so much of office culture flows from our technology, tools, and design. Here we can see the most profound changes the quickest.  Community – if work were not the primary organizing factor of our lives, we could restructure our relationships with our community outside of work.
