Hustle vs. Soft Life: Why Both Are Lying to You
Update: 2025-08-22
Description
Hustle culture says: grind ‘til you make it.
Soft life marketing says: rest is the reward.
But what if neither is the full story?
In this episode, I open up about my own extremes — hustling myself into collapse, and then floating in a “soft” bubble that didn’t feel like real life. Both left me stuck.
What actually worked? The messy middle: building a business that’s sustainable, human, and true to me.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why hustle without direction is pointless.
- The trap of treating rest like something you have to “earn.”
- What softness actually looks like when it fits real life, not Instagram.
- Why neither extreme will give you the business you want.
- A simple reflection to help you define what hustle + ease mean for you.
