Hi, I’m Elle - I burned out so thoroughly I could’ve powered the national grid.
Years working in healthcare as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist left me exhausted, broke, and Googling “can I disappear and start a goat sanctuary?”
Spoiler: I didn’t.
Instead, I learned the hard way that working yourself into the ground doesn’t just burn you out - it empties your bank account too.
That’s why I started Not Here to Hustle.
This isn’t about waking up at 4am, tracking every penny, or pretending you can survive on ‘girl dinner’ to save money. It’s about:
Spending intentionally (without spreadsheets that take longer than your actual job).
Building financial breathing room without 7 side hustles.
Looking after your wellbeing while you look after your bank balance.
I share science-backed, practical ways to stress less about money and life.
If you’re tired of being told the answer is always ‘work harder’ - you’re in the right place.
