117. The Hustle Trap: Why Running Harder Isn't Getting You Ahead

  • Summary

  • Ever find yourself collapsed on the couch at 11 PM, completely exhausted, with a to-do list that somehow got longer during the day? Yeah, we need to talk about that. In this game-changing episode, former talk show host turned life coach Pamela Hughes gets real about why running faster on life's treadmill isn't getting you where you want to go.


    You know that voice in your head saying "If I just work a little harder..." or "I can't slow down or everything will fall apart"? Pamela's been there (spoiler alert: her own wake-up call came after leaving her broadcasting career), and she's got some seriously refreshing insights about why "rise and grind" might be keeping you stuck.


    Here's the thing: what if the solution isn't about doing more, but about getting crystal clear on what actually matters? Pamela shares a brilliant car analogy that will completely change how you think about your daily hustle (hint: flooring the gas pedal isn't always the answer 😉).


    Plus, you'll discover:

    • A dead-simple way to cut through your overwhelming to-do list (it starts with the number 3)
    • Why saying "no" might be your new superpower
    • The surprisingly common belief that's keeping you trapped in hustle mode

    If you've ever felt like you're sprinting through life but somehow standing still, this episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and find a better way forward.


    🎯 Ready to stop spinning your wheels? Hit play to learn how to trade exhausting hustle for authentic progress. Trust me, your future self will thank you for this one.

    About the host:

    Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.


    This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.


    I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.
