Hustle Culture, “Efficiency”, & Why We’re Throwing Away Our Phones Artwork

No, You're Not Dying

Mother-daughter duo Beth (a PhD clinical psychologist) and Joyce (a chronic over-thinking millennial) love to sit and chat about finding balance in the never-ending ups and downs of life - so much so, that they turned it into a podcast.

Join them every week for a candid conversation about the many ways in which life impacts our mental health, how psychology can shift your perspective, and why even if you feel like you’re dying, you’re probably not. Kinda funny, never scripted, always honest - so join the conversation!

To share topics and stay up to date on the show, you can follow them on Instagram @noyourenotdyingpodcast.

Hustle Culture, “Efficiency”, & Why We’re Throwing Away Our Phones

October 15, 2025

If ever there was a vent sesh episode, today's would be it.

We're kicking off a new, totally random segment called 'unfiltered thoughts', where we share our - you guessed it - unfiltered thoughts. We're talking emotional support shirts, laser tag, and packing tape. We have strong opinions on all 3 and so should you, tbh.

Then we're getting into the problems with production culture and why we feel pressure to be creating all of the time. Is it because things have gotten easier and we have constant access to the internet? Is it because numbers are the only thing that matter anymore? Is it because we've tried to 'MBA' our way through everything? Hm, maybe yes.

We talk about the shift to a quantity mindset, why we aren't able to keep up with the pace of an 'efficient' world, why making things easy is expensive, and what leads to creative burnout.

We also cover how no one knows how to use a map anymore, the irony of 'create more than you consume' when you're feeling uninspired, and how the clock app is ruining music (sry but it had to be said).
