Breaking Free from Internalized Capitalism: Denise Walker's Insights

One of the big ones for me is seeing everything through the lens of monetization, where literally every single thing that I enjoy I flip into a product: writing poetry that has now turned into selling books, running workshops and talking on a podcast to you.
Ever felt like you're on a never-ending treadmill of productivity? In this episode, Denise Walker takes a hard look at internalized capitalism and its grip on those in recovery. She opens up about her own journey, revealing how sobriety shifted her focus from creating art for pleasure to monetizing every aspect of her life. From writing poetry to running workshops, Denise found herself caught in a cycle where self-worth was measured by output.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Denise shares practical tips on recognizing these toxic patterns and offers ways to break free. You'll learn that taking a break isn't laziness; it's essential self-care. If you've ever struggled with the pressure to always be 'doing', this episode is a must-listen. Denise's words serve as a powerful reminder that your value isn't tied to productivity.
Tune in for a refreshing perspective on how to cope with the demands of capitalism while staying true to your recovery journey.
