Our self-esteem and self-worth have been wrecked by capitalism, patriarchy, ableism, and racism. All have made us believe we aren’t worthy and that we must prove ourselves by pushing hard every day to be able to receive love, care, rest, grace. It cannot be repeated enough how abusive this lie is to us. Grind culture has thrown us into believing that suffering, hyperproductivity, and constant doing is redemptive. This is a lie.
