Hi Kat. I said no to hustle culture two years ago, when I fled the city (Portland) for a little place on the Oregon coast. I made a commitment at that point to the "beach bum" lifestyle: minimal work to meet the necessaries, daily barefoot surf walks, picking up trash and agates and the occasional piece of driftwood... and I love it!

Driven by the simple goal of expanding my living space, I attempted a pivot from my current business serving very few clients in a particular niche, to a more public-facing, growth-focused venture. However, before long I found that I really don't have it in me to play that game (content creation, social media nonsense, client-getting, etc.) So I pulled the plug, and I'm back to my more relaxed approach -- which will include a Substack at some point (I follow Tim Denning, too!)

So what you say here really resonates with me. I applaud you for the insight, and look forward to seeing what else you have to share!
