Hustle works—but it always comes with a cost.
And in my experience, that cost rarely shows up right away.
In this episode, I break down the real, often unspoken price of hustle culture—the emotional, energetic, and internal toll that comes from constantly proving, performing, and pushing in the name of success. You’ll hear how hustle can deliver results while quietly keeping you stuck in emotional chaos—and why it’s not the only way to build a meaningful, sustainable life and career.
We’ll also explore what aligned action actually looks like, how it’s different from hustle at the internal level, and why changing what’s driving your action changes everything.
For a deeper dive into this conversation, be sure to check out The WTF Breakdown, where I expand on the ideas from this episode and give you space to reflect on your own relationship with hustle.
