Unlearning the Hustle Mentality part 2

In the second half of their conversation on hustle culture, Lesley and Stacy go deeper into what it actually looks like to unlearn the first-gen overachiever mindset in real life.

From letting the dishes sit in the sink to resisting the urge to say yes to every opportunity, this episode unpacks the guilt that comes with rest—and the intentional choices it takes to create a slower, values-aligned life.

You’ll hear stories about:

  • Homework protests and raising readers

  • How burnout sneaks into even your hobbies (hi, Goodreads pressure)

  • What grandma taught us about radical rest

  • Learning to say no without apologizing

  • Why “you can have it all” isn’t the problem—it’s the timeline that’s a lie


If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything but still not enough, this episode is a reminder: your worth isn’t measured by your productivity.
