Why I’m Done Working Hard (And You Should Be Too)
We grew up believing that hard work was the ultimate badge of honor — especially as athletes. Hustle harder. Push through. No excuses. But what happens when you hit your 30s and realize… maybe that kind of grind isn’t it anymore?
In this episode, we unpack the moment Erin said, “I’m not a hard worker anymore. I’m a soft worker.” And something about that phrase broke us open.
This convo dives into:
What it means to become a “soft worker” in a world that worships burnout
Why rest isn’t laziness — it’s a strategy
How athlete conditioning screws with our relationship to ease, effort, and worth
Flow state, perfectionism, and redefining success in real life
Napping as productivity (yep, we went there)
And the hilarious core memory of being complimented for hard work… in a failed teenage flirt attempt
If you’ve ever felt guilty for not grinding 24/7 — this one’s for you.
Hit play, let it soften your day, and join us in rewriting the rules of “working hard.”
