Why Hustle Culture Sucks (and So Does Rhysand?) Is Live

We recorded this episode during a stretch where it felt like everyone we knew was burned out, laid off, or quietly panicking about work. Hustle culture has a way of turning all of that into something personal, like if you were just trying harder or staying more positive, none of this would be happening.

We talked honestly about layoffs, career instability, and how exhausting it is to be told to pivot endlessly without being allowed to grieve what you lost. We also talked about books, because when work feels overwhelming, reading often becomes a place people go to rest, escape, or feel powerful in ways real life is not offering.

We also led to a very real conversation about A Court of Thorns and Roses and whether Rhysand deserves the hype. That part was fun. The rest was cathartic.
