Summary

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I talk about how rising costs, job insecurity, and increased workloads can keep you stuck in exhausting, crisis-driven productivity cycles. This is especially relevant if you are navigating fluctuating energy, caregiving, chronic illness, neurodivergence, executive functioning challenges, or if you are first-generation in your field. I walk you through why urgency and overwork can become the default and share practical ways to step out of constant crisis mode by building work rhythms that align with your capacity.
