The Hustle to Heart Bookclub
A community and refuge for achievers seeking meaning beyond success.
When you live in a world that celebrates the hustle, it takes courage to step off the hamster wheel and build a life rooted in real fulfillment—not just achievement.
Hustle to Heart is an intimate monthly bookclub of achievers daring to redefine success. Through thought-provoking reads and rich conversation, we support one another as we trade burnout and achievement-chasing for presence, meaning, and vitality.
“Going through Hustle to Heart was such a gift to myself. It helped me explore new ideas, get in touch with more self-compassion, and consider freshly what makes life meaningful to me. Hailey is a thoughtful, safe, skilled facilitator, and the people in my cohort were wonderful. I’m deeply grateful for this experience.”
— Kayli Albert
“Hailey created a space that allowed us to experience anti-hustle culture together. Being able to ‘just be’ with no expectations and no obligations was a true gift each month.”
— Whitney
I’m Hailey. I built the life I thought I wanted: booming coaching business, six-figure book deal, hundreds of thousands of followers.
On paper, I was living the dream. But after years of striving, the success I’d worked so hard for began to feel hollow—and my heart longed for something deeper.
My life looked impressive from the outside—but on the inside, I was burnt out, depressed, and meaning-starved.
I kept on this way for years—waiting for a fulfillment that never came—until, at the peak of my career, a series of unexpected losses shook me awake.
I suddenly saw how narrow my world had become, and how many parts of myself—and my life—I’d neglected. Success, I realized, was never meant to be my meaning.
This realization helped me slowly release the pressures of achievement, and embrace connection, creativity, and a vital new chapter—one where work mattered without being my whole world. You can read my story here.

How It Works
Beginning on November 17, Hustle to Heart meets every third Tuesday of the month from 4-6pm Pacific Time (7-9pm Eastern Time).
Every month for six months, H2H enjoys a non-fiction book that explores the topic of finding meaning and purpose beyond conventional success. Every book has an audiobook version for those who prefer to listen.
We gather on Zoom every third Tuesday from 4-6pm PT for our monthly bookclub meeting. Our meetings are facilitated, combining thought-provoking discussion questions, small breakout rooms, and hands-on coaching exercises.
Our monthly Tea Hour is every first Tuesday from 4-5pm PT. This optional gathering is a lightly facilitated, heart-centered space to share what’s coming up in your journey from hustle to heart and to deepen connection with your fellow bookclub members.
Coaching worksheets distill each book’s insights into key frameworks and guided prompts, and our members-only Instagram group chat offers weekly reflection questions and a way to stay in touch and share support in-between meetings.
