Productivity Guilt and Hustle Culture - Not Overthinking

In this episode of "Not Overthinking," together with Mags, we explore the complexities of work-life balance, the pressures of productivity, and the cultural narratives surrounding success. We discuss the concept of being 'locked in' to work, the impact of societal expectations on personal goals, and the importance of finding fulfilment beyond traditional measures of success. The dialogue highlights the tension between pursuing passions and the realities of market demands, ultimately questioning what it means to lead a fulfilling life in a competitive environment.
