Ah, Fridays—a day that often screams, “Freedom! Time to unwind!” But for many job seekers, it’s a constant battle between taking a break and feeling guilty about not hustling for that dream job. Sometimes, we need to take a breather from the relentless job search grind. I want to spend a few minutes in today’s episode dissecting this a little.

And if you dare think about taking a break, that pesky negative self-talk creeps in. “You should be searching. You should be hustling. Don’t even think about having fun.”
