Why the 9-to-5 Is Failing Women: How to Design a Career That Actually Fits Your Life17 apr34 min

If your workdays feel exhausting, chaotic, and somehow never-ending… you’re not imagining it.

As an ambitious woman, you’re expected to manage a full workload, constant meetings, endless notifications, and a life outside of work all while operating on a rigid 9 to 5 schedule that was never designed for you in the first place.

In this episode, we break down where the 40-hour workweek actually came from, why it feels so misaligned today, and what a more flexible, modern version of work could look like. From shorter workweeks to outcome-based performance and using AI to reduce busywork, this is your no-BS guide to rethinking how you work and what’s actually possible.
