Somewhere along the way, the grind became a personality trait. We started celebrating exhaustion like it was a badge of honor. But what if the real flex isn't hustling nonstop? What if it's building a life you don't need to escape from?
After opening up Hawaii as a new market and traveling nonstop this month, I hit a wall. I was physically and mentally drained, caught in that fear of "if I slow down, will my business slow down?" And I know I'm not alone in this. Too many of us have tied our worth to our productivity, believing that if we're not busy, we're not successful. But that's worldly thinking, not what God wants for us.
In this episode, we’re talking about the myth of being superwoman, the danger of letting grind culture become greed, and why rest isn't lazy; it's actually what makes you better at everything you do.
