Ever catch yourself answering “just one more email” long after you should’ve logged off? In this episode of Headflex, Rebecca and Diane are talking about something that hits close to home for a lot of us, overworking. Why do we do it, even when we know it’s not sustainable? And how did burning the candle at both ends become such a badge of honour?

They share the habits, beliefs, and pressures that keep us stuck in hustle mode. From chasing deadlines to tying our worth to how busy we are, this conversation gets into how overworking quietly becomes the norm and what it’s actually costing us.

Whether you’re leading a team or just trying to make it through the week without burning out, this episode will give you space to pause, reflect, and think about what working “enough” really looks like.
