Ep. 6 Want to Fit In? Stop Trying to Be Like Everyone Else

The lies and madness of hustle culture
1

In this episode, I unravel one of the deepest lies we’ve been told: that success comes from being like everyone else. From hustle culture to productivity myths, we’ve been conditioned to believe that there’s only one way forward—constant motion, constant doing, constant pressure.

I explore how this message has distorted our relationship with success, presence, and self-trust. And while I briefly reference Human Design, particularly how we’ve all been taught to live like Manifestors, the episode is really about the deeper cost of living someone else’s blueprint.

We dive into:

✔ Why hustle culture keeps us trapped in cycles of fear and inadequacy

✔ The danger of living like someone you’re not

✔ How future-orientation fuels anxiety and disconnection

✔ What it takes to return to presence, even when fear is loud

✔ Why your real power is in doing things your way

This episode is an invitation to stop striving for a life that was never meant for you, and to start remembering what already lives inside of you. There is no blueprint. There is no race. There is only now. And you belong here, exactly as you are.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories.

Thank you for listening—and as always, thank you for seeing me. 💫
