In this episode, we dare to challenge the pervasive mantra and dive deep into the dark underbelly of ‘hustle culture.’ We are exploring its profound impact on therapists' well-being. Join us as we explore how the relentless pressure to hustle, achieve, and constantly perform pushes therapists into survival mode, leaving them on the brink of burnout. From hormonal imbalances and gut health deterioration to mood swings and physical manifestations, we uncover the physiological toll of hustle culture on therapists' bodies and minds. But it doesn't stop there—we also examine the dynamics of energy imbalance, exploring the consequences of overemphasizing masculine energy at the expense of feminine intuition and nurturing qualities. Tune in as we unpack the complexities of hustle culture and offer strategies for recovery and rebalancing, empowering therapists to reclaim agency over their well-being and defy the pressures of a hustle-driven world.
