The Toxicity of Hustle Culture Meet Up

Mar 14, 2022

4:00pm – 5:00pm CT

Hustle culture is a lifestyle that teaches people that overworking is the only way to earn respect. It teaches that self-care isn't "productive". Hustle culture doesn't allow for breaks, or even sleep. It's impressive and respectable to lose hours of sleep to the grind. This lifestyle fuels cognitive dissonance causing you to feel guilty if you take little to any time taking care of yourself. My session idea is to bring together fellow entrepreneurs and corporate employees to discuss how to put an end to toxic hustle culture and promote a healthy work/life balance.
