The Trouble With Capitalism, Ditching Our Hustle Culture Mindset, and Becoming More Human-Centric in the Age of AI With Anti-career Coach Danielle Roberts
Listen now
Description
In our hustle-obsessed society, the concept of "work-life balance" has become a twisted, unattainable ideal. From the dawn of our careers, we're fed narratives that glorify overachievement and self-sacrifice for the corporate grind. But what if we've been sold a lie? What if the real keys to fulfillment lie in dismantling those deeply ingrained notions? My guest today is Danielle Roberts, the bold anti-career coach. Danielle was well on her way to "having it all" - the prestigious job, the six-figure salary, the big promotion. But at what cost? She found herself drained, unfulfilled, and questioning the very purpose of her relentless grind.  From debunking the "lazy millennial" myths to questioning if a four-day workweek goes far enough, we explore the systemic issues warping our relationship to work. Danielle shares candid insights on why the perpetual grind robs us of joy and how to start uncoupling your identity from your job title. Whether you're questioning your own work-life balance, feeling the creep of burnout, or simply craving more purpose beyond the 9-to-5 grind, this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in as we dive into practical strategies for finding joy and fulfillment outside of your career. “We talk about work-life balance as if work is something to be balanced against life, but we need it (work) to be coherent with life.”  - Danielle Roberts In This Episode: -Danielle’s journey from corporate to anti-career coaching -Why people are disenchanted with corporate employment -The tech industry's broken promises, layoffs, and lies -Navigating career uncertainty and embracing self-worth -Redefining success and getting comfortable with "failure" -A holistic approach to career coaching -Generational differences in the workplace -Quiet quitting, lazy girl jobs, and a four-day workweek And much more.
