Ep29: Toxic Motivation - What happens when hustle advice goes too far

from Richly Told · host Richly Told Media

It's easy to feel like you are failing when you hear people say that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day. Richard and Lee look at why this common motivational phrase is actually quite damaging. Lee shares her own story of trying to finish an MBA during a family tragedy and a global pandemic (all while homeschooling her children and running a business). They explain how different life experiences, like grief, chronic health issues, or family responsibilities, mean your 24 hours look nothing like anyone else's. They'll take you through how to filter out toxic motivation and focus on your own progress. You can learn why celebrating your own wins (no matter how long they take) is more important than fitting into a cookie-cutter mould. If you enjoy it, they'd love to hear from you!
