Episode 5 - Stress & Burnout: Is Hustle Culture Killing Us Early?

PrimeSpan Podcast — Episode 5 Stress & Burnout: Is Hustle Culture Wearing Us Down? We live in a culture that celebrates exhaustion and calls it ambition — rise and grind, no days off. But what if that mindset is quietly costing us clarity, connection, and peace? In this roundtable episode of the PrimeSpan Podcast, Adam Dimacali-Venturina, Allyson Fujii, and Kassandra Aragon explore how hustle culture has conditioned many of us to equate being busy with being valuable — and how that belief can slowly wear down our energy, relationships, and enjoyment of life over time. Through lived experience, humor, and science-informed reflection, the conversation challenges the idea that rest is weakness. Instead, it looks at how sustainable energy, intentional pauses, and clearer boundaries can support a more grounded and meaningful next chapter — especially after 55. Rather than promoting extremes or quick fixes, this episode focuses on realistic resets: learning to do less, better — and redefining success in ways that allow you to actually enjoy what you’ve worked for. Key Themes & Takeaways • Why constant busyness is often mistaken for purpose • How hustle culture can quietly shape stress, focus, and enjoyment of life • Why rest is a skill — not a reward you earn later • Simple ways to create intentional pauses in everyday routines • Redefining success after 55 to include energy, presence, and clarity Reflection Prompt What’s one small habit you could change this week to create more calm or clarity? It might be a short walk, quiet reflection before bed, or saying no when something doesn’t align. Small, intentional choices can shift how your days feel — and how sustainable life becomes.
