The End of the American Dream? What could I possibly mean? I believe we were sold a lie.
Work hard through high school. Get into a great college. Choose your life path before our brains were fully developed.
Graduate with honors in our field. Work for the man for 40-50 years at the same company, in the same field. (It sounds so monotonous).
Some of our parents did it. A few were happy with it. Most that I was around seemed miserable. But still, we followed the American Dream set forth or American Delusion, however your perspective is.
Many of us knew nothing else. But from the expressions on people’s faces as we commute to work, it looks like they are living more of a nightmare or at least an “Auto Mode Daze.” Am I wrong?
The American Nightmare?
But the Numbers Tell a Different Story
Today? Only about 62% of high school graduates even go to college. And of those who start… Nearly 40% don’t finish. Almost half of the people who follow the “right path” never reach the finish line. What happens to them? I hope they don’t all work at Panera forever (or any lifeless job for that matter).
And Even If You Graduate…
Here’s the part no one talks about: Only about 30–40% of graduates actually start in a job in their field. So what happens to everyone else? Oh no, not Panera (cringing face). Most pivot.
They struggle, figuring out as they go. (I think of jobs like draining porta potties, digging ditches, etc.)…
American’s are Burned Out?
Meanwhile… People Are Burned Out
Let’s talk about real life. Only about 3 out of 10 people feel engaged at work. Up to 70%+ feel disconnected, stuck, or just going through the motions
Burnout? It’s not rare anymore. It’s normal. No wonder the expressions on people’s faces as we commute.
Consequently: So now we have: Women who did everything “right”… And still feel like something is missing. Boy, can I relate.
Spending my life making other people’s dreams come true feels empty. Watching bosses bend etiquette. Experiencing undo rage from supervisors. Working hours at home just to squeak by the 40 hour grind on site (too heavy of a work load to fit the hours). It feels like a nightmare, not a dream.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve worked jobs where I’m afraid to use the bathroom without being berated. Cancelling doctor’s appointments, missing kids events because of a boss who couldn’t handle the office alone. It was enough to give me some substantial gut issues without a decent pay to make up for the stress.
So… Did the American Dream Fail?
Not exactly. But it changed. The truth is:
The American Dream didn’t disappear…
it just stopped being handed out in a straight line.What Moms Are Starting to Realize
More and more women are quietly asking:
- “Is this it?”
- “Why am I working this hard and still stressed?”
- “What if there’s another way?”
Not because they’re lazy. It’s because they’re awake.
The New Dream Looks Different
It’s not about one job anymore. It’s about:
Multiple streams of income
It’s about building something that actually supports your life. Let’s be honest, unless you are in the upper echelon of a corporation, we just can’t survive on one full time job in America anymore, unless we have heavy debt or dual incomes.
The American Dream Confused
But Here’s Where Most Women Get Stuck
They know they want something different…
But they don’t know where to start. So they:
- Try random side hustles (wasting a ton of money in the process)
- Burn out even more
- Get discouraged
Because no one gave them a simple system or even a path forward.
