![]() When you can slow your mind down you will also see things differently. When you are home in the evenings do not check emails or your phone when your kids are around. Focus your energy on what has to be done now. Designate a day durning the week or evening and fully commit to relaxing. You need to start to create healthy boundaries at work and at home. Start to say no more often, whether it’s at work, home, social life, or wherever. I started to really look at ways I can avoid the hustle culture trap. The other day I noticed some flowers had bloomed and I thought, when did that happen? It made me realize, even though I work from home, am I truly present? I get caught up in productivity, personal development, reading books, listening to podcasts, trying to learn, trying to grow my business, grow my brand, and I fall into hustle culture. So I have been able to be very present in my kids lives but the hustle culture still gets me. I know I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own hours. I have kids in high school and middle school now. There have been times I am completely overwhelmed with work, trying to run errands, and run the kids around but then I realize I will soon have a child that will be 16 and driving herself. I have told people that reach out to me asking to be a guest on my podcast when I don’t think they are a right fit or not in my genre of topics they have mentioned, which is huge for me as a people pleaser and someone who doesn’t like to say no. My kids are at school all day and when they are home I want to be present and the one taking them to and from school, activities, and sports. I will not record podcasts in the evenings. The older I get the more boundaries I have with work. Hustle Culture is placing an intense focus on productivity, ambition, and success, with little regard for rest, self-care, or any sense of work-life balance. ![]() If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueller.
