184 - Purpose-Driven Hustle vs. Pressure-Driven Hustle: How to Work Hard Without Burning Out

If you’ve ever been told to slow down and immediately rolled your eyes—this one’s for you.

Hustle isn’t the problem. It’s the source of your hustle that makes or breaks you. In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between purpose-driven hustle (that fuels you) and pressure-driven hustle (that drains you), and how to shift your energy toward the kind of hustle that actually sustains your success.

We’ll cover:

• Why hustle gets such a bad rap (and why it shouldn’t)

• The real markers of purpose-driven work vs. pressure-driven work

• How to spot subtle pressure-driven traps before they burn you out

• Three powerful filter questions that instantly shift you from reactive to intentional

• How purpose-driven hustle makes ambition and sustainability work together instead of against each other

Plus: I’m giving you a sneak peek into a chapter from the book I’m writing, The No Bullshit Burnout Book, and sharing why this topic has been hitting close to home lately.
