The Hidden Cost of Hustle Culture w/ Panache Desai | Ep 418

In this episode, Chris Do sits down with Panache Desai to explore why so many high performers feel burned out despite outward success. Panache challenges the idea that people are broken or need fixing, reframing burnout as a symptom of living from survival, identity, and fear rather than from wholeness. Together, they unpack themes of acceptance, self-trust, and why true power comes from releasing control over the past. The discussion positions peace—not productivity—as the most honest definition of success .
