🎙️Carrie On!
Hustle culture tells us we’re either not doing enough… or we should stop doing everything. But what if the real question isn’t whether you hustle, it’s what the hustle is costing you?
In this episode of Carrie On!, I sit down with Dr. Portia Preston—2x TEDx speaker, public health expert, and author of Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go?: A Guide to Shame-Free Wellness That Honors Your Reality and Gives You Life (Revell, Aug 5, 2025). We dig into what sustainable wellness actually looks like, especially for women, Black women, caregivers, and neurodivergent folks who are tired of “perfect” wellness culture and just want something that feels real and doable.
Portia shares her SANE framework, talks openly about late-in-life ADHD + autism diagnosis, and gives us language for navigating shame, overwork, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. If you’ve ever thought, “I know I need to slow down… but how?” this episode is your permission slip.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why hustle itself isn’t the villain—how to know when it’s costing you too much
- The SANE framework:
- S – Slow down and reflect
- A – Acknowledge your reality (resources, support, and thoughts)
- N – Navigate with intention (values, integrity, how you want to show up)
- E – Evaluate and adapt
- The shame spiral: why shame is the easiest fuel to grab… and the worst one to run on
- How identity (gender, race, role) shapes our relationship to hustle, worthiness, and rest
The biological “weathering” Black women experience and why access alone doesn’t fix health inequities.
