Rigged to Overwork + the RTO Movement

🎙️ Episode 7: Return to Office or Return to Self? How high-achievers keep feeding the burnout beast and why it’s time to choose peace instead of proximity. They’re calling it a “return to normal.” But for many high-achievers, women, men, caregivers, and anyone who built a life around flexibility it feels more like “Rigged to Overwork.” In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth behind RTO mandates the data, the corporate gaslighting, and the real emotional cost that the headlines aren’t talking about. You’ll hear: The Time article stats proving this isn’t about productivity, it’s about control. A real-life look at the toll of commuting, mom guilt, and identity erosion. The three biggest corporate f*ckery tactics at play in RTO mandates. Why your nervous system reacts the way it does and how to use regulation, identity work, and subconscious reprogramming to find your third option. 💭 Five power questions to help you choose peace over proximity and create a future that actually fits you. What feels heaviest in my day and if nothing changes, what will this cost me in 3 months? In a year? What’s one thing I can stop doing this week that frees energy without sacrificing the quality of my work or life? If I believed I had nothing to prove and nothing to lose, what’s the first change I’d make today, not “someday”? Which version of me has outlived her purpose and who am I ready to become instead? What would I need to believe, deep in my bones, to consistently choose what’s best for me, even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable? Whether you’re a leader deciding how to advocate for your team, or you’re in the trenches trying to decide what’s next for you, this conversation will remind you: you have more than two choices.
