Shownotes

In this episode of 'Beyond the Bombshell,' Michelle discusses the trend among self-employed individuals, particularly in real estate and other service industries, of constantly showcasing their ability to work during personal time, such as vacations, family gatherings, and significant events. Michelle argues that this glorification of the 'always-on' work mentality is detrimental and sets unrealistic expectations about work-life balance. She highlights the importance of setting boundaries, enjoying personal moments without the intrusion of work, and how the perpetual sharing of work during supposed downtime sends mixed signals to both clients and peers about the value of personal time. Michelle encourages discussion and debate on the topic, seeking listeners' opinions on this trend's impact on professional credibility and personal well-being.
