Breaking the glass ceiling has long been the metaphor for women achieving success in male-dominated spaces. But what happens when we break through—only to find ourselves burnt out and unfulfilled?
It’s time to redefine success. Here’s how:
Redefine Achievement
Success doesn’t have to mean climbing the corporate ladder or working 24/7. It can look like:
- Prioritising your mental health.
- Setting boundaries at work.
- Choosing fulfilment over accolades.
Embrace Rest as Resistance
Rest isn’t lazy—it’s revolutionary. By rejecting the hustle, you’re challenging the systems that equate your value with your productivity. Take the nap. Log off early. Watch the entire season of your comfort show guilt-free.
Demand Structural Change
Breaking the hustle cycle isn’t just a personal act—it’s a collective one. Advocate for:
- Flexible work policies.
- Fair wages.
- A culture that values well-being as much as output
