Hustle Vibe Flow Podcast

This episode dives deep with Sara McElroy, a self-proclaimed ex-hustle devotee, to uncover why we cling to toxic jobs and the impact of knowing it's time to quit. We'll discuss practical strategies for preparing for your departure, so you can confidently step away from misery and towards a future aligned with your values.

The pandemic has pushed women worldwide to their breaking points, forcing them to re-evaluate their priorities and well-being. While many are embracing the "new normal," a nagging feeling persists: it's time for a change. But how do we transition from the ingrained hustle culture to a path of brave exploration?

Sara McElroy Bio: Sara McElroy is a former marketing officer and the Wall Street Journal’s poster girl for pandemic career burnout, and a two-time member of the Great Resignation: class of 2021 and 2022. Following a stress-induced shingles diagnosis in early 2021, Sara decided to hit the reset button on her life; she quit her hard-won CMO job and trekked to Peru's Sacred Valley to reset her frayed nervous system. When she returned, she relocated from the buzzy metropolis of Atlanta to the beach in South Florida for a new job and a fresh start. But she once again encountered deeply ingrained cultural issues in her new role, and ultimately, she walked away again. Finding herself in the company of millions of other women who also set unfulfilling jobs ablaze during the Great Resignation, she returned to her journalism roots and began to explore the stories, breaking points, and defining moments that led women to seek greater opportunity mid-pandemic. These conversations became the genesis of Raze to Rise – an organization created to amplify women’s voices from the Great Resignation and inspire others to blaze new trails in their own careers. A New Chapter Begins Coming February 2024.

This episode tackles the concept of imposter syndrome, but with a critical twist. Ke and Toni argue that imposter syndrome is not just a personal issue, but rather a symptom of systemic oppression and lack of belonging in spaces not designed for people of color, particularly Black women. Listen to the full episode for a deeper dive into this topic.

Hustle culture in its toxic nature means constant work. It means striving and devoting as much of your day as possible, to working — hustling. Pushing to your limit.  There are no time outs. There are no breaks. You are constantly on the go until you BREAK. If you are on the edge of breaking or feel it's very possible, this episode is for you. We dedicate this episode to anyone who needs a reminder that hustle culture is toxic, and a set-up for failure.

That's right, we are talking about the 6 syllable condition, Endometriosis, and debunking common misconceptions.

In this episode, Tonie and Ke reflect on the tools and strategies they use to dig out of a funk. Our daily obligations, careers, struggles of running a small business, school, and families can be daunting, stressful, and overwhelming. What if we took a few moments before the hustle of our busy days to plan for our peace? Let’s discuss it.

Resources:

Ke and Tonie’s Action Plan

1. meditation/ prayer (journaling) 

2. plan for obstacles: add an uplifting moment to your calendar, declutter, focus on natural sunlight, incorporate house plants or flowers in your sacred space, don't underestimate scent; it's a powerful sense, invite nature in or add some color

3. Putting yourself as a priority for wellness. Even if you don’t feel the need, auto-program yourself for wellness. (showering, eating, moving your body) 

4. focus on the facts. keep things in perspective and prevent yourself from manifesting those negative thoughts.

5. manifestation and visualization

6. move around every hr.

7. indulge in the arts especially music

In today’s discussion, Tonie & Ke dive in on those who throw Shade Hate.  Colorism refers to discrimination based on skin color. Colorism disadvantages dark-skinned people while those with lighter skin are viewed as more privileged. This impacts us and it’s time we gather together to combat and unpack this.
