Stop Romanticising the Struggle

Are you wearing your exhaustion like a badge of honour? In this episode I'm calling out something we don't talk about enough, the way we've been conditioned to romanticise the struggle, and why it might be the very thing keeping you stuck.I spent years thinking that if it wasn't hard, it didn't count. In this episode I break down the difference between hard work that actually builds something and unnecessary suffering that just exhausts you — and why you are allowed to build something that feels good to build.We cover: what romanticising the struggle looks like in real life, where this habit comes from, the difference between hard work and suffering, and what sustainable ambition actually looks like.New episodes every Monday. Follow along on Instagram @samanthagreen.tgh and @alignedandunfilteredpod, and for the written version of my brain head to lettersfromsamanthagreen.substack.com
