“You are allowed to enjoy your life. Satisfaction counts, rest is part of health, and your worth was never meant to be measured by a to-do list, a tracker, or a plate.”Are you tired of feeling like your worth is tied to how productive, disciplined, or “perfect” you are? In this conversation with Dr. Paula Freedman-Diamond, we explore how hustle culture, diet culture, and wellness culture overlap to fuel food struggles, anxiety, perfectionism, and toxic striving - and how you can begin letting go of unrealistic expectations so you can reconnect with your body, values, and joy. This episode will inspire you to slow down, question the standards you’re chasing, and start living in a way that actually feels good for you ✨✅ What You’ll LearnHow hustle culture, diet culture, and wellness culture overlap to create toxic striving & perfectionismWhy food struggles and anxiety are connected to chasing external validationWhat it looks like to step out of “do more, be more, control more” mode and build self-trustPractical ways to set boundaries that protect your time, energy & self-worthHow to move toward body trust, rest, satisfaction & values-aligned livingWhy your humanity matters more than any productivity hack or diet plan🔗 Connect with Dr. Paula Freedman-DiamondToxic Striving: Why Hustle and Wellness Culture Are Leaving Us Anxious, Stressed, and Burned Out―and How to Break FreeHumanKind Psych (Therapy for overthinkers)If you’ve ever thought, “Why is it so hard to stop eating when I’m full?” - you’re not alone.
