societal norms: work edition

from the ash gracie podcast Hosted by anoushka hem

in today's episode, i wanted to gently unpack the societal expectations around work: from the traditional 9-5, to freelancing, to entrepreneurship, and question why certain paths are labeled as safe, risky, or brave. rather than ranking these choices, this conversation explores where these norms come from, the emotional realities behind each work style, and why creatives so often feel caught between stability and freedom. through reflection and grounded questioning, this episode invites you to look beyond productivity and prestige, and instead consider what kind of work structure truly supports your well-being, creativity, and sense of self, reminding you that there is no single right path, only the one that fits your life right now.
