The Reason You're Still Working 8 Hours A Day (And How to Stop)

This week's episode looks a little different, love. I'm going full voice note - reading out my latest Substack essay, plus sharing some off-the-cuff reflections you won’t find in the written version.

Today we're talking about why standard productivity hacks leave us exhausted, overwhelmed, and still miles from the version of life we actually want.

If you've moved from corporate to cafe and you're running a business, solo, you might be wondering why you're still pulling 8-hour (minimum) workdays (even though you really don't want to be).

If you’ve been spinning your wheels, craving more ease and creativity, and wondering why the systems everyone else swears by just don’t work for you — this is the episode to hit play on.


In this episode, I share:

- The half marathon metaphor that will change how you approach your goal

- The hidden mental model keeping women stuck in “busy but not moving”

- Why joyful productivity matters more than perfect systems

- What actually gets you traction (and it’s not another colour-coded planner)

Aaaaaand... a juicy sneak peek at what I’m building inside There She Goals (hint: it's gonna be hosted on Substack).
