Going Rogue: Stop Grinding, Start Building
Explicit content warning
08/26/21 • 39 min
When you're grinding, you're getting everything done, you're on top of it all, and feeling good... right? Well, grinding is also the act of wearing down and breaking apart. Today Gina and Rachel reflect on "the grind," and how they and most listeners of this show can relate to finding themselves overwhelmed, over-scheduled, feeling burnt, often without the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
This rogue episode gets a bit personal and gets real about how to move through times of emotional struggle or grief, how to give yourself options in scheduling, easy ways to prioritize, how to get unstuck by "doing the next thing," and to always remember to seek solutions instead of rehashing problems.
