For many driven professionals, the cultural prescription for career success is simple: push harder, move faster, and accumulate more. We wrap our identities in our productivity, white-knuckling our way through demanding schedules until we find ourselves completely trapped in a toxic cycle of exhaustion.   Alissa Crouse knew this reality intimately.
