In a world that equates constant busyness with success, the act of relaxation can feel like a luxury—or worse, a failure. In this episode, hosts Jason, Evan, Sean, and Claire dive into the "guilt of relaxation," exploring why we feel a nagging sense of unworthiness when we aren't "doing" something. We discuss the pervasive "hustle culture" and the powerful link between our sense of self-worth and a feeling of progress. By delving into the negative connotations of being seemingly unproductive, we'll make the case for why taking a break is not a sign of weakness, but a crucial tool for both mental and physical well-being in today’s fast-paced world.
