Some people run marathons. Some paint. Some DJ at weddings. And some, like Hasita, spend enough time underwater to log 100+ dives within two years.
In this episode, Subha and Hasita talk about the growing movement of people reclaiming their time outside of work—not just for vacations, but for pursuits that shape who they are. From balancing client expectations to redefining career success, they unpack what it means to be multi-dimensional in a world that still largely rewards singular focus.
Would your workplace support you taking a Friday off to go diving? Or would it raise eyebrows? And if you don’t have a “passion project” yet—where do you even begin?
