Rest: Season 7 Episode 1

1/24/2024
Victoria's hot take: hustle culture is antithetical to human flourishing. Let's define hustle culture. Many people overvalue being productive and/or becoming an idealized version of themselves at the expense of their own health. As a result, people don't know how or when to rest properly. Burnout coupled with mental, physical, and emotional issues are too common. Productivity isn't inherently negative! Work and rest should function within God's design for humanity.
