Work In Progress: I'm A Workaholic

Welcome to "Dear Young Queen: Work In Progress," where hosts Ashley Weatherspoon and licensed therapist S. Tia Brown delve into the most engaging topics, quotes, and moments from previous episodes of the Dear Young Queen podcast.

This week, Ashley recaps the latest episode featuring the incredible Krystal Vega. Krystal isn't just an on-air host—she's a powerhouse managing three thriving businesses. From Fortune and Forks, empowering women of color, to Cositas, a beauty brand with travel cosmetic essentials, and her groundbreaking e-guide "Map to Media" for aspiring on-air talents.

In Krystal’s episode, one moment really caught Ashley's attention. Krystal's innate hustle, shaped by her roots as a native New Yorker and the contrast of her with a more balanced work life since moving to Miami.

This resonates deeply with Ashley, who acknowledges her own tendencies to push herself to exhaustion. She shares her struggles with being a workaholic, shedding light on the reality that work addiction is a genuine condition often misunderstood in today's digital age.

While workaholism may serve as an escape from personal issues, it can significantly impact relationships and mental health. Ashley, too, grapples with anxiety about the future and the fear of not doing enough.

Join us as we explore the complexities of work addiction, its effects on mental and physical health, and how these challenges impact ambitious young women striving for success.
