We need a new definition of success—one that harmonizes meaning and money. Imagine diving into your workday with renewed energy, leaving behind the exhaustion or dread of a monotonous grind. Traditional beliefs about success and the root cause of burnout are the same: Prove yourself. Work harder. Take care of the business, and it will take care of you. We’re recycling the mindset and practices that keep us stuck. Our souls need a jumpstart into The Age of Humanity. Tune in for a new way of working that honors our nervous system and the bottom line, using knowledge of the brain, the Bible, and business. We’ll discuss timeless truths that amplify growth, ignite change, and reshape the world of work. No corporate speak or business BS. Let’s get to the heart of a rewarding career and profitable growth. We speak human about business. What’s in it for You? Value, Relevance, and Impact (VRI): No, it's not a new tech gadget—it's your ticket to making your work genuinely matter to you and your company. Human-Centric Insights: We prioritize people over profits without sacrificing the bottom line. Think less "cog in the machine" and more "humans helping humans." I'm your host, Rebecca Fleetwood Hesson, your thrive guide leading you into the new Age of Humanity. I’ve navigated the highs and lows of business and life, from achieving over $40 million in sales, teaching thousands of people around the world about leadership, trust, execution, and productivity to facing burnout, divorce, raising a couple of great humans (one with ADHD), and navigating the uncertainty of starting a business. I’m committed to igniting change in the world by jumpstarting business into profitable growth with the timeless truths of our humanity. Sound crazy? It’s only crazy until it works.

The Counterfeit of Working Harder: How Over-Activation Makes Life Harder for Everyone

“Working harder might look like success, but it’s actually a counterfeit that drains our energy and disconnects us from what matters most.”


In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession challenges the belief that more effort always equals better results. She explores how overactivation of our nervous systems, caused by lack of rest and the pressure to always do more, leads to missed connections, last-minute cancellations, poor preparation, and even strained relationships. Rebecca explains why the cultural script of equating worth with hard work is not only false, but damaging. She offers a science-backed alternative: rest, stillness, and capacity-building. 


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why working harder is a counterfeit and how it undermines both performance and relationships
  • How overactivation of the nervous system impacts your ability to connect and commit
  • Practical ways to replace overwork with rest, stillness, and intentional connection
