You feel guilty for taking a break, ashamed for being tired, and believe your worth equals how much you can handle - but what if the problem isn't your boundaries, it's a system that profits from your endless availability?Jon and Josh dismantle the toxic belief that capacity equals character and explore why we've internalized shame about our very human need for rest.Your nervous system isn't a machine, and treating it like one is destroying your mental health.While grind culture teaches us that worth comes from endurance, research shows that our capacity is actually fluid, contextual, and completely separate from our value as humans.If you've been sacrificing your humanity on the altar of productivity or tying your self-worth to how much you can take on, this episode will show you how to honor your limits without shame.SKIP AHEAD:(01:00) Why we equate capacity with moral strength(04:00) How grind culture profits from your endless availability(07:00) The internalized shame of human limits(12:00) Why your nervous system isn't a computer(18:00) How capacity varies by environment and life stage(24:00) Practical ways to untangle worth from productivity(27:00) The power of non-productive rest📧 Sign up for the nonstatic newsletter to never miss an episode🧠 Visit Inspire Services for mental health resources and supportPS.
