There’s a pattern so many of us have been indoctrinated into that’s depleting our bodies, our relationships, our planet, our innovation, and even our productivity.
What makes it so insidious is that we’re celebrated for it, and many of us spend our whole lives in a reward loop that affirms a behavior that’s not doing us any favors.
The addiction?
Work.
Alcohol addiction, drug addiction, sex addiction, shopping addiction, gambling addiction, and more are recognized as problematic behaviors for which treatment and healing can and should be sought.
Overwork, however?
We just throw each other a parade for that.
Today on the podcast Mike and I are talking about our collective obsession with work and how it’s killing us on multiple levels.
If you suspect that your addiction to work is holding you back in more ways than one, you’re gonna want to listen in.
This episode is likely going to get under your skin in a way that’s simultaneously uncomfortable and necessary.
And just in case you think we’re being righteous on our “we’ve already figured this thing out” high horses, we’re not.
We share our recent foibles with slipping back into overwork and how we tend to those old patterns on a daily basis so that they don’t get the better of our souls.
Can’t wait to hear how this one lands with you.
