ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hustle culture teaches leaders that exhaustion equals commitment and rest must be earned. But what if the constant push is not discipline at all, but fear in disguise?
In this episode of Reflect Forward, Kerry Siggins breaks down the difference between working hard and hustling, why success often increases pressure instead of freedom, and how constant self-enforcement quietly undermines leadership, health, and clarity. She shares a personal story and offers three practical shifts to exit hustle culture without losing ambition or edge.
