Are you tired of hustling 24/7, chasing “success” while feeling exhausted, undervalued, and stuck?

In this powerful episode of Small Business Growth Addicts, I’m joined by Jo Hooper — founder of Get Wildly Free — to unpack how hustle culture is rooted in patriarchy and capitalism, and why so many women in business end up becoming their own worst bosses.

Jo shares her journey from two corporate breakdowns to building a business that prioritises freedom, joy, and living life now.

We dive into:

• How hustle culture keeps women small, burnt out, and broke
• The subtle ways entrepreneurs recreate toxic corporate dynamics in their own businesses
• Practical steps to put yourself first and reclaim your time, energy, and confidence
• Why success doesn’t have to mean sacrifice, and how you can build a business that feels as good as it looks
