The Myth of Hustle

What if your worth didn't depend on how much you hustle?
In a world that celebrates overwork, glorifies burnout, and calls exhaustion ambition, The Myth of Hustle: Escaping Burnout Culture and Redefining Success offers a radical, healing alternative: rest, softness, and sacred self-worth.
This book is for anyone who has ever felt like they had to constantly perform, produce, or prove themselves to be loved, accepted, or seen. It is for the high achiever who is secretly soul-tired. The people-pleaser who can't remember who they are when they're not meeting others' expectations. The woman who has spent her life being strong, while quietly unraveling inside.
Blending poetic vulnerability with cultural and spiritual insight, the author guides readers through a deeply personal and universal journey - from the roots of hustle culture in trauma, faith, and society to the reclamation of identity, rest, and wholeness.
In this powerful and compassionate book, you'll discover:- Why hustle culture is not just a productivity problem, but a worthiness wound- How trauma, religion, perfectionism, and patriarchy feed burnout- Permission to rest without guilt - and reclaim your identity beyond what you do- Practices to unlearn performance-based living and embrace emotional and spiritual rest- A new definition of success that feels like peace, not pressure
This is not a self-help manual filled with tips to optimize your day. It's not a step-by-step productivity plan. It is a soft landing for the weary. A mirror for your exhaustion. A hand on your back saying, "You can stop now. You are already enough."
Whether you are in the midst of burnout, deconstructing your faith, unlearning hustle from your body, or simply craving a more meaningful way to live, The Myth of Hustle will speak directly to your spirit.
If you've ever believed the lie that you must do more to be enough, this book will meet you with truth, tenderness, and the courage to come home to yourself.
The hustle was never holy. Your healing is.
