The Hustle to Heart Bookclub
A community and refuge for people seeking community and meaning as they outgrow who they’ve been.
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 a monthly bookclub of achievers daring to redefine success. Through thought-provoking reads and rich conversation, we support one another as we navigate the in-between—finding emaning, community, and ___ as we release the old and step into the new.
I’m Hailey. Ive outgrown many selves—
some by choice, and some by force.
There have been moments that divided my world into a Before and an After: a breakup. A burnout. An existential crisis. A betrayal.
These events were so significant that they changed me, fundamentally. In their wake, I looked around at my life, and found that it no longer fit.
Relationships felt too small. My career no longer aligned. Ways of relating that once made me feel safe and worthy now felt confining.
Every time, I felt lost. I wandered the place between who I’d been and who I was becoming, seeking solid ground. (Often, it took longer to find than I wanted!)
But we can’t build new selves on top of old ones. There is always a period of deconstruction—a dance of unbecoming. And every time, the process of outgrowing invites us to become the author of our own story, instead of living by the scripts we’ve inherited.

How It Works
Enrollment for our next Hustle to Heart cohort opens in May 2026. Join the waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens.
Every month for six months, we enjoy a non-fiction book or podcast episode that explores the topic of outgrowing conventional success. Every book has an audiobook version for those who prefer to listen.
We gather on Zoom every 2nd Tuesday from 11am-1pm PT for our monthly meeting. Our meetings are gently facilitated, with thought-provoking questions that generate rich discussion.
Our monthly coaching worksheets distill each book’s insights into key frameworks and guided prompts—helping you craft a personalized plan to live from heart, not hustle, at a pace that feels right for you.
Between meetings, you can participate in a members-only H2H Discord chat, where you can share thoughts, celebrations, resources, and stay in touch in-between meetings.

The Backstory
For over two years, I’ve hosted a non-fiction bookclub in Seattle—and it’s quickly become one of the greatest community experiences of my life.
Over time, what began as twelve strangers discussing ideas over a potluck dinner became much more: a space for rich vulnerability and deep friendship that spans far beyond our monthly meetings.
Firsthand, I’ve seen how powerfully an intimate bookclub can foster personal transformation, create community, and inspire lifelong connection. My goal is to create this same transformative experience in Hustle to Heart—and I hope you will join us!
