7. The Fine Line Between Ambition and Insanity

Thriving(ish) Podcast

Show Notes

Jaz and Neets unpack their personal experiences with burnout and the very blurry line between ambition and exhaustion. We aren't just talking in business or careers, but in motherhood, mental load, relationships and everyday life. Because burnout isn’t just something that happens in an office.

We also question whether hustle culture has completely cooked our idea of success… and why so many women feel guilty for resting in the first place.

If you’ve ever said “I’m just tired” when it’s actually much deeper than that, this episode will probably hit home.

Now listen, we did get a bit excited and drop some other eps a little earlier than planned. If it sounds like we're introducing something that we've already talked about in an earlier episode, that's because we are 😂
