167. Death of the Girl Boss Era

Have you noticed that the Girl Boss movement is on the decline since the pandemic hit? It seems like most women no longer feel the need to keep chasing goals and leveling up when they can be radically content. If you’re still an overachiever but stuck in a loop of staying unhappy, it's time you redefine success and understand there’s nothing wrong with you or your job just because you don’t want to experience burnout anymore by being a girl boss.
