Alexandra and Lenya discuss the balances of both doing work, and doing the work.

First work/life balance is addressed, and how we’re also facing hustle culture. Behaviors from this capitalistic pressure can be seen in the students in Alexandra’s classroom.

And both describe how they have been using social media to engage and distance themselves from what they need to.
