The flip side of consulting? My 50+ hour week | Week in the life of a consultant

[@caar6611]

Hi there Hannah, this video really resonated with me so I wanted to comment (even though I usually lurk haha). How you opened up about feeling overwhelmed, comparing yourself to others who seem to manage just fine, balancing work and life, feeling lost in the corporate ladder while not being as passionate about it, period struggles, just everything I relate to so much! I just wanted to let you know it's okay to struggle with these things. We pretty much all do (even if it's not always visible). I feel like we are finally figuring out people are not made to work 40 hours and manage a whole household, sport and social life perfectly. From my perspective you are doing so well, and doing enough! Celebrate the small victories. And most importantly, your own wellbeing always comes first so take breaks when you need them! Your video's are always both a way to relax and a way to feel inspired for me, so thank you so much for all you do! 😊

Wow thank you so much for all the amazing and kind words 🥹 this makes me beyond happy!!!🫶🏼 and even though I hope you don’t struggle too much it’s good to hear that you can relate and we’re all in the same boat 🤍 sending a big hug

As always thank you for being honest and real 💗 working full time and managing everything is so exhausting. Tbh we deserve a medal every time we decide not to quit 🫥 Different people have different priorities and different energy levels / support / health / budgets. As another commentor said: celebrate the small victories. 💗 Currently also thinking about reducing hours. I just can't imagine working +45years like this. Our bodies are not designed for it, at least not mine. Ofc money is a topic but tbh I'd rather have more time for socialising and things I like - and work is not one of those things. If ones mental and physical well being requires breaks then so be it ✨💗 We can't do it all so let's do what we like 😌

Thank you so much for your comment 🥰🫶🏼 you are totally right. I feel like I saw this job as a race and now I see that it is actually a marathon. So we need to make sure to pace ourselves and not burn ourselves out when we still have quite a long time to go 🙈

I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself 🩷🩷

Omg, the girlbossing and having a crying sesh after a long day hits so close to home right now 🩷🥲 literal comfort youtuber, I feel so seen here. Also i just wanted to say, I think its crazy that you compare yourself to others because you are doing soooo many amazing things and you have a full time Job! I wish I had the Energy to do half of those things that you are doing🥹 thanks for putting up videos for us even though you have a really busy schedule right now!

Also your thoughts in the end are absolutely what me and all my Gen Z colleagues are talking about rn, like having one peaceful week a month and the rest is absolute chaos for everyone and our routines then don’t work anymore. Hope our generation can change some things in the workplace

Thank you so much for all the kind words!!!

And literally!! Im looking forward to working less but I am too capitalistic to reduce my hours rn and get less money :D
