The girlboss era is officially dead. But did we swing too far in the other direction?For years, we were told to hustle harder, optimize ourselves, build the business, chase the dream, and wear burnout like a badge of honor. Then came the backlash... the soft life, quiet ambition, anti-work, and the idea that maybe we should just give it all up and move to Bali.But y’all… where is the middle?Today, I’m talking about what girlboss culture got right, what we were sold that was completely wrong, and why I don’t think the answer to hustle culture is giving up on ambition altogether. We Chat About:Why girlboss culture and hustle culture ultimately led so many women to burnoutHow the soft life and performative rest became the backlash to constant hustlingThe difference between optimizing yourself and building better systems around your goalsWhy social media gives us such an unrealistic picture of both success and restWhat entrepreneurship actually looks like behind the scenes right nowHow to define ambition, success, work, and rest on your own termsIf you’re tired of feeling like you have to choose between being the girlboss who works herself into the ground or giving it all up for the soft life… if business feels harder right now and you’re wondering if you’re doing something wrong… if you’re trying to figure out what ambition looks like in this next chapter… this chat is for you.Connect with Nicole:On Substack: https://nicolewaltersofficial.substack.com/On Threads: https://threads.net/nicolewaltersOn YouTube: http://nicolewalters.com/youtubeEpisode Sponsors:Use code NICOLE at checkout for 15% off your entire order at www.vionicshoes.com when you log into your account. 1 time use only.Explore viral bestsellers and products for healthier hair of ALL types at baskandlatherco.com.Go to http://bioptimizers.com/nicole and use code NICOLE to get 15% off your entire order and a free travel size bottle of Masszymes - BiOptimizers' best-selling digestive enzyme — added to your order.
