The Toxic Hustle Lie: Why “Doing More” Is Destroying Your Health
In this deeply honest solo episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer opens up about a triggering moment that forced him to confront the cultural lie of “hustle harder.” After seeing a client publicly champion a work-until-you-break mentality—the very mindset that once led them to burnout—Justin reflects on the destructive pursuit of worth through achievement.
He unpacks how striving steals our peace, fractures our identity, and disconnects us from God’s rhythms. Drawing from past personal battles with burnout and insights from his recent conversation with worship artist Pat Barrett, Justin explores the life-changing power of contentment: needing nothing, proving nothing, and operating from God-given identity instead of worldly ambition.
This episode is a call to pause, evaluate the lies you’ve believed about success, and realign your life with the rhythms God designed you to thrive in. Whether you’re on the brink of burnout or simply tired of the chase, Justin offers a path back to peace, presence, and purpose.
Takeaways
- The world’s version of success often leads to decay, disconnection, and burnout.
- Striving for validation costs your health, peace, and relationships.
- Contentment—not achievement—is what unlocks true creativity, freedom, and capacity.
- Boundaries are spiritual: they create presence, peace, and protection.
- Integration doesn't mean constant work—it requires intentional separation and presence.
- You can’t operate in your calling while living in chaos.
- Your body signals misalignment through anxiety, exhaustion, weight gain, and brain fog.
- God designed rhythms of rest, obedience, and peace so you can thrive.
- Living by the world’s expectations leads to destruction; living by God’s design leads to purpose.
- Healing comes from alignment—not more effort, but more surrender.
