Hustle culture describes a workplace environment that focuses on productivity and ambition, with little regard for rest, self-care, or work-life balance.\u00a0This lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years as individuals strive to achieve their professional goals faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n
Despite its popularity, hustle culture has increased mental health concerns like anxiety, stress, and depression.<\/p>\n
This Fall, Winona State University hosted a Women of Wellness (WOW) Cruise event aboard WSU\u2019s own Cal Fremling Cruise Boat. Winona State partnered with two wellness experts, Sandy Anderson<\/a> and Maria Serbus<\/a>, to offer interactive conversations about “Thriving Beyond the Hustle: Unlocking Resilience for Women Professionals.”<\/p>\n Attendees were challenged with engaging discussion around these questions:\u00a0Is the hustle culture driving your calendar? \u00a0Is your hurried mind sabotaging how you show up in life?<\/p>\n Sandy and Maria shared effective strategies to navigate personal and professional challenges and periods of growth.<\/p>\n Heidi Wyn and Kyra Beske of Winona\u2019s local tea shop, Curiosi-Tea House<\/a>, also provided a Tea Talk and Tasting on the cruise and helped attendees explore healthy drink alternatives through a variety of teas.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2023\/11\/Curiosi-Tea-cups-1280.jpg” alt=”Teacups from Curiosi-Tea” title_text=”Curiosi-Tea-cups-1280″ admin_label=”Tea Cups Image” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_testimonial author=”Jill Bradley” job_title=”Advancement Systems Administrator” company_name=”Winona State University” admin_label=”Jill Bradley Testimonial” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Thank you for pulling together a fantastic Women of Wellness agenda, bringing aboard inspiring speakers, and including the Curiosi-Tea House owner who brought an element of calm to the afternoon. This was a great opportunity to renew our sense of purpose, meet new people, and find common interests with our co-workers.<\/p>\n The presenters shared proven methods to help us balance our work projects while setting margins for preparation, reflection, and winding down, so that we don\u2019t overextend ourselves. It was an awakening of new approaches to multi-tasking, while taking the time to breathe and appreciate our accomplishments.
