About this listen

After 19 years of working nonstop, I quit my job, not because I failed, but because I didn’t recognize myself anymore. In this episode, I talk about rejecting perfectionism, burnout, and the pressure to constantly be “better,” especially as a Black person navigating systems that reward overworking and self-erasure. I share what I saw after a decade in HR, how hustle culture became survival conditioning for me, and why I’m choosing wholeness over performance. This isn’t a motivational speech or a quit-your-job fantasy. It’s a reckoning, a reset, and a reminder that success shouldn’t cost you your soul.
