You DON'T Have to Monetize EVERYTHING

Why does it feel like every hobby now has to become a business? Whether it’s affiliate marketing, content creation, or turning your interests into online courses, the pressure to constantly monetize our lives is everywhere. Social media is full of people telling you that if you’re attractive, artistic, or even just consistent, you’re leaving money on the table if you’re not turning that into a brand. But this mindset isn’t empowering... it’s exhausting.

In this video, I’m breaking down the rise of hustle culture disguised as “freedom,” and reacting to the idea that every part of your identity and every interest you have should be monetized. From misleading promises about passive income to the expectation that beauty or hobbies should be revenue streams, we’re unpacking how the glorification of the content creator lifestyle often erases nuance, privilege, and the right to enjoy things simply for the joy of them.

Let’s talk about why you don’t need to make everything into content, and how the “turn everything into a side hustle” mentality is quietly burning people out and stealing their joy.
