Do you wake up and the first thing you do is check your emails? Skip lunch because you are too busy and work late. Never take days off or say no to work even when you're at max capacity? Sounds like you're part of the Hustle Culture. 

In episode nine of the All Court Up Podcast, Courtney explores the idea of the hustle culture and how we as humans are judged on our ability to work and how the romantising of overworking can have a negative impact on your mental health causing issues like burnout and imposter syndrome. 

A timely reminder that it is important to look after yourself. 

If you feel as though you are suffering from burnout or imposter syndrome please reach out to a trusted friend or health professional.
