Does the hustle ever really stop? And why do so many entrepreneurs feel guilty for celebrating themselves?

In this episode of Both Sides of the Check, Ms Cat and LiShon get into the truth behind hustle culture — the pressure to constantly grind, and the deep-rooted struggle to rest, reward, and actually enjoy the fruits of your labor.

We’re talking about burnout, self-worth, and why some of us feel like we have to "earn" rest — even when we’ve done more than enough. If you’ve ever pushed through when your body said pause or skipped a win without even a toast, this one’s for YOU.

Are you building bridges or burning them?

In this episode of Both Sides of the Check, we're getting real about the unspoken tension in entrepreneurship: should we collaborate or compete?

You’ll hear:

• How to identify when collaboration is a smart move (and when it’s a trap)
• Why competition isn’t always the villain — and how to use it to level up
• The sneaky ways scarcity shows up in your business decisions
• And of course, the money mindset behind both strategies

If you've ever side-eyed a potential partner or felt torn between “we could build together” and “I need to protect my lane,” this episode is for you.

💡 Tap in, take notes, and let’s stop playing small when we could be scaling together.
