240. Burnout, Productivity, Parenthood & Patriarchy: A Conversation with Ali Ryan and Marissa McKool
June 02, 2022 11:00 - 41 minutes - 57.5 MBPeople socialized as women are particularly susceptible to suffering from the burnout our entire country seems to be dealing with.

239. How Productivity Culture Burns You Out: An Interview with Tina Koch and Rachèle Summers
May 26, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 65.4 MBIt would be nice to think we can leave capitalism at the office when we go home for the day. But the truth is, its reach goes far beyond just the way we make, sell, and buy stuff. It can affect the ways we place value on the actual human beings who do the work, which in turn can lead to burnout, hustle culture, and even ableism.

The truth is, emotional growth often feels TERRIBLE, so if we find ourselves constantly shying away from resistance or difficulty, we may also miss out on opportunities for BIG growth.
