Ich bin 35 geworden – und teile in dieser Solo-Folge 8 Lebenslektionen, die ich mit 18 gebraucht hätte.Nach 15 Jahren YouTube, 7 Jahren Podcast und tausenden Kunden im Mentoring spreche ich offen über Hustle-Culture, schmerzhafte Trennungen, Grenzen setzen, erfolgreiches Scheitern und die Angst vor Veränderung. Warum dich „mehr pushen“ oft weiter von dir selbst entfernt. Und weshalb wahre Freiheit entsteht, wenn du aufhörst, ein Leben zu leben, das nicht mehr zu deinen Werten passt.

They say it's about collaboration and face-to-face interactions - but you're still expected to join your virtual meeting in a private call booth.So, what's really behind these RTO mandates? If the research shows better work-life balance and productivity when employees have the option to work remotely, what's the big push for the big return? Does work-from-home still exist six years after the pandemic?Host Catherine Jette speaks to Kathy Chow, a Toronto-based writer who wrote a piece called "Welcome Back to the Office. You Won't Get Anything Done.". The two discuss corporate culture's inability to prioritize the employee, how women are disproportionately affected by RTO mandates, and how surrounding suburbs of big cities can fall victim to the return to the office.

Silvia Resnik unpacks the hidden ache so many high-achieving women carry: doing everything "right" and still feeling unfulfilled.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architects are trained to hustle, but what if the grind is actually holding you back? In this episode, coach Jenna Harrison joins Enoch Sears to explore a radical shift—one that swaps overwork for a schedule that fuels creativity, clarity, and growth. They dive into the unseen toll hustle culture takes on your body, mind, and most valuable relationships. You'll hear how an unexpected turning point made Jenna rethink everything about success, and the surprising ripple effects that followed. This isn't theory—it's lived experience, backed by results. Jenna also hints at the simple but powerful shifts that free you from the "time for money" trap. If you've ever wondered whether you can work less and earn more, this is your chance to find out. You'll discover: The hidden cost of being "the bottleneck" in your firm Why your brain may be blocking your best work The counterintuitive change that can grow both freedom and revenue To learn more about Jenna, visit her website: https://www.theuncommonway.com/ 

The pressure to perform is breaking men, and most don't even realize it. This episode is for the man who feels like no matter how hard he works, it never feels like enough. The man who can't fully rest without guilt. The man whose mind never shuts off because deep down, he believes if he doesn't push harder, everything will fall apart. In this conversation, we unpack the quiet tension so many men live with: Do I grind harder… or do I trust God? Hustle culture tells men their worth is tied to output. Performance-based faith tells men God only blesses obedience. Caught in the middle, men end up anxious, exhausted, and constantly questioning if they're falling behind or failing God. But Scripture tells a different story. We explore what it actually means to live with a sound mind, not a busy one, and why mental and emotional rest are not signs of laziness, but signals of trust. You'll learn how fear-driven effort keeps the nervous system stuck in overdrive, why rest can feel unsafe for high-performing men, and how alignment with God creates clarity, peace, and forward movement without forcing outcomes. This episode directly challenges hustle culture, reframes discipline through faith, and offers reassurance to men who feel trapped between ambition and belief. It's not about doing less, it's about stopping the internal punishment that keeps you exhausted no matter what you do. If you've ever felt guilty for slowing down, anxious even when things are going well, or afraid that God is disappointed in you, this conversation will help you breathe again. You are not broken. God is not angry with you. And you don't have to earn rest or worth.

When Hustle Culture Steals Your Peace and Leaves You Exhausted—and What You Actually Need Instead If you're a working Christian mom who ended the holidays feeling more exhausted than refreshed, you're not alone. As routines return and responsibilities pile back on, many moms find themselves carrying guilt for resting at all—wondering why peace feels so far away. In this episode, we talk honestly about how hustle culture quietly steals our peace and convinces us that our worth is tied to productivity. We unpack why exhaustion isn't a sign you need to push harder, but often a signal that your soul is longing for rest and trust in God. Using Exodus 14:14—“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”—we explore how biblical stillness is not passivity, laziness, or giving up. It's surrender. It's choosing to stop striving, stop proving, and allow God to fight battles we were never meant to carry. You'll hear encouragement for the working mom who feels behind, overwhelmed, and unsure if she's doing enough—and a reminder that the peace of Jesus isn't something you earn through perfect performance. It's a gift freely offered, even in seasons of exhaustion, uncertainty, and unmet expectations. This episode will help you: Identify how hustle culture fuels exhaustion and mom guilt Release the belief that your value is tied to productivity Understand what biblical rest and stillness really mean Shift from striving to trusting God with your time, work, and family Embrace peace that doesn't depend on having it all together If you're longing for more peace and less pressure—especially as you balance faith, family, and work—this conversation will gently point you back to the rest Jesus offers.   Questions to consider as you work through your week: Where am I hustling when God is inviting me to rest? Where am I carrying guilt that He's already forgiven? Where can I pause today and remember I am loved, not for what I do, but for who I am in Him?  

What if burnout isn't caused by doing too much, but by constantly leaking your energy in ways you don't even notice? In this episode of School of Impact, Jason sits down with energy expert and entrepreneur Spencer Jones to unpack the concept of energy sovereignty, it's about learning how to protect, restore, and intentionally direct your energy so you can thrive without burning out. This conversation blends mindset, nervous-system regulation, play, and personal responsibility into a powerful framework for living and leading at your highest level.   "Have fun. There's more fulfillment for me. The impact is greater when you are having fun. When you're doing that, people resonate with it more. It doesn't feel forced, uneasy, it's just it's natural, and something happens."- Spencer Jones   Hear more about: Burnout is often about being drained, not overworked: Many people feel exhausted because their energy is leaking through misalignment, toxic beliefs, or unhealthy environments and not because they're doing too much. Internal belief systems are the biggest energy vampires: Self-judgment, the need to prove worth, and guilt around rest drain more energy than external people or circumstances. Energy sovereignty starts with repairing leaks before adding more habits: Meditation, exercise, or motivation won't stick if underlying energy leaks aren't addressed first.  Alignment determines whether energy fuels or depletes you: Even "good" opportunities can be draining if they're not aligned with your values, nervous system, and authentic self.  Small shifts create sustainable energy gains: Tools like breathwork and quick "energy audits" help raise your energy incrementally without overwhelm.  Play, fun, and authenticity are performance multipliers: When people operate in flow, doing what feels natural and joyful, impact, creativity, and fulfillment increase dramatically.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Amiga, what would shift if you stopped trying to prove your worth and stopped waiting for permission, and instead trusted that God has already placed in you? In this bonus episode, we explore the two subtle forces that often keep us quiet: hustle culture and permission culture. One tells us we have to push, prove, and perform before we're allowed to speak. The other tells us we should wait, prepare more, or receive approval before we begin. Both keep us from trusting what God has already placed inside us. Grab your cafecito as we reflect on how to release fear, return to alignment, and trust God's purpose for your voice. This is your invitation to stop striving and start trusting. Come join Fearless Mujer Community, where we uplift, encourage, and celebrate one another! Click here to join!

If your self-worth has been riding shotgun with your success, it's time to pull over and reset. In this episode, we dive into: Why high achievers link self-worth to performance The signs your identity is tangled in your output How hustle culture is glorified burnout in disguise Practical ways to reclaim joy, rest, and your whole damn self The truth about failing — and why it doesn't mean you are a failure What it really means to succeed on your own terms Make a "No Resume Required" Joy List — a reminder that you are more than your inbox, your LinkedIn profile, or your launch metrics.

BOOK a call with us: https://linktw.in/bIlXmB   In this video, I expose the biggest lie hustle culture sold us and reveal the three-stage framework that separates business owners who burn out from the ones who actually scale.   2 a.m., empty office, fourth energy drink. Revenue up 30%. Profit margins down 18%. I was working more, making less, and slowly suffocating under the weight of my own success.   Here's what I discovered: The entrepreneurs I knew who were actually scaling to seven and eight figures weren't grinding like I was. They had figured out something completely different. Hustle is necessary at the start, but deadly long-term. It helps you find what works, but if you keep relying on it, you'll burn out and limit your growth.   I'll walk you through the exact three-stage framework. This isn't a theory about working smarter. This is the data-driven system that shows you when to push hard and when to step back. Hustle should be a switch, not a lifestyle.   Already doing $30K+/month?

Megan chats with Chanda Coston about building real success without burnout and why hustle culture is not worth the price. Chanda Coston is a U.S. Navy Veteran, Business Strategist, and Founder of Chanda Co., where she helps entrepreneurs build profitable, purpose-driven businesses without sacrificing peace or passion. With over 20 years of leadership experience and a background in project management, she teaches systems, mindset, and strategy that enable creative professionals, like food bloggers, to grow sustainably, delegate effectively, and avoid burnout. Her coaching blends structure and soul, because clarity and calm are the ultimate success tools. Burnout is not a badge of honor. In this episode, Chanda breaks down what sustainable success actually looks like and why systems, boundaries, and self trust matter more than working harder. This conversation is a reset for anyone who feels overwhelmed, reactive, or constantly behind. Key Topics Discussed: Burnout is a warning, not a requirement: If your business only works when you are exhausted, something is broken and it is not you. Mindset comes before strategy: No system will stick if you believe rest equals failure or productivity defines your worth. Self awareness changes everything: Learning your personal burnout cues helps you intervene before things spiral. CEO themed days create clarity: Structuring your week around focus areas removes daily decision fatigue. Boundaries protect your energy: Time blocks only work when you are willing to turn things off and say no. Delegation is not optional for growth: If you are the single point of failure, your business cannot scale. Guilt is not a good decision maker: Especially for moms, choosing yourself now creates a better future for everyone.

We've reached a point where purposeful work is mislabeled as “hustle,” while self-abandonment, burnout, and over-performance are praised as discipline and success.Work is not the problem. Action is not the problem. Creation is not the problem. The issue is hustle culture, a system that pressures you to outsource your creativity in order to produce, rather than allowing you to create from sovereignty, alignment, and vision.Work does not make you less feminine.

The holidays are coming up, and for many developers that brings up a familiar dilemma - should you keep coding, learning, and building… or should you unplug and take a real break? With fast-moving frameworks, constant updates, and pressure to stay relevant, stepping away can feel risky. But burnout is real, and the holidays are often one of the few chances we get to properly recharge. In this Web News, we talk about whether developers should code over the holidays, when it makes sense to keep tinkering, and when it's healthier to step back and reset.

Ray Green breaks down why both hustle culture and the "deep work only" mindset miss the mark, using a simple physics formula to explain what real work actually is. The equation? Force times Distance times Alignment. In this episode, Ray explains why effort alone doesn't equal results, why you can bust your ass and go nowhere, and why even getting results doesn't matter if they're not aligned with your actual goal. He walks through practical examples—from salespeople making calls to authors writing books—to illustrate why some people accomplish massive results while others stay stuck forever despite working just as hard. Ray shares how to clarify your real goal, define the right distance metrics to track meaningful progress, and apply the necessary force to actually get there. This is about understanding what real productivity looks like and making sure the time and energy you're investing is actually moving you in the right direction.//Welcome to Repeatable Revenue, hosted by strategic growth advisor , Ray J.

Aujourd'hui on parle d'un sujet qui m'a tellement touchée perso : être ambitieux quand t'es jeune… sans tomber dans la hustle culture.Parce que oui : avoir des projets, c'est génial. Mais quand ton ambition commence à te bouffer, que tu culpabilises de ne pas “bosser h24” ou que tu paniques d'être “en retard” par rapport aux autres… c'est plus vraiment sain.Dans cet épisode, je te raconte mon histoire (spoiler : j'ai toujours été une enfant BEAUCOUP trop ambitieuse), ce que ça m'a apporté… et ce que ça m'a coûté.On parle aussi de slow life, d'équilibre, d'objectifs, de raisons profondes, de burn out, de pression… et de comment trouver sa voie sans se perdre.Bref : hustle culture VS vivre vraiment.✨ Et si tu veux participer aux prochains épisodes et partager ton histoire ou tes réflexions, envoie un DM à @jpeuxtefaireunvocal✨ ✨Mon insta : @imperatricewu ✨Abonne-toi pour ne louper aucun d'épisode ❤️ !!!

If you've ever hit major milestones yet still felt trapped, anxious, or disconnected from your own life, this conversation will change the way you think about success and what it actually means to be free. We talk about the moment when achievement stops feeling like fulfillment, and why so many people find themselves “successful” on paper but exhausted in spirit. A lot of high performers believe the next level comes from working harder, grinding longer, or forcing their way forward. But what if the real breakthrough begins the moment you slow down? What if freedom, not hustle, is the real measure of success? In this episode, I sit down with business consultant and Winner's Circle host Jay Adewole to explore the mindset shift that took him from a $250K job to a year of making only $40K, and then to building a million-dollar business. Jay shares the story of leaving the safety of a high-paying role, hitting a wall, and the bold month-long pause that helped him rebuild his entire life and business from a new level of clarity. His transformation didn't start with another strategy. It started with stillness, honesty, and a decision to build a life where freedom leads the way. Together we explore: • Why “busyness” is the biggest obstacle to real success • How stepping back can grow your business faster than pushing forward • The difference between security and freedom • What happens when you stop surviving and start leading • Why redefining success can open doors you didn't know existed • How entrepreneurship becomes a path of self-liberation I also share how Jay's story mirrors my own path in MetaBusiness — where the real work begins the moment you release the pressure to “perform” success and finally choose to live it on your terms. Because when your purpose, energy, and leadership align, success becomes a reflection of your freedom instead of the price you pay for it. This conversation is for every woman and man who is ready to step out of the grind, reclaim their power, and build a life where freedom is the real flex.

In this episode, Dana is joined by Jessica Hallahan, a stress management expert who turned a personal health crisis into a powerful mission. At just 24, Jessica was hospitalized due to severe burnout, a rock-bottom moment that became her greatest teacher. She shares her raw and honest journey of how over-commitment and a lack of boundaries nearly broke her, and how she learned to rebuild her life from the ground up. Jessica reveals why saying "no" is a form of self-care, how to break the cycle of people-pleasing, and why clear communication is the antidote to 80% of workplace stress. She provides practical tools for setting flexible, healthy boundaries that allow you to move from a life of constant pressure to one of authentic purpose and peace. Jessica's Linkedin Jessica's Site

Drawing on his own experiences as a husband, father of five, and coach, Garrett outlines his "PDA formula" (Predictable, Profitable, Authentic) for building a sustainable, purpose-driven business—and life.

We used to treat Sundays like a warm-up lap for the workweek: laundry, inbox checks, meal prep, to-do lists. It felt productive, but underneath it all was anxiety disguised as ambition.

According to San Francisco workers, the hustle culture of the pre-pandemic days has returned in the form of long working days and weekends at the office. So called “996 work”, which originates from China's tech scene, is a work schedule that starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m., six days a week. The hustle isn't new to Silicon Valley, but the hyper-competitive AI tech race and the fact that some employers are making 996 mandatory for its staff, or using it as a recruitment filter, could lead to uncharted territory. We talk about the origins of 996, the grind culture of Silicon Valley, and whether or not this trend is going to stick. Guests: Carolyn Chen, associate professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley and co-director, Berkeley Center for the Study of Religion. Author, "Work Pray Code: When Work Becomes Religion in Silicon Valley" Lora Kelley, Journalist and writer covering tech and work Ara Kharazian , economist at Ramp, a tech company focused on financial automation Learn more about your ad choices.

If you didn't quit, maybe you came close to submitting your resignation and decided not to. The burning question is, what did people move towards after leaving their job?
