Powering Down, previously known as Corporate Quitter, is a podcast for curious creatives, modern-day minimalists, and quiet revolutionaries quitting the hustle in favor of a slower, softer, more intentional life. Host Gabby Ianniello leads soulful conversations on slow living, digital detoxing, off-grid dreaming, and unlearning the cult of optimization. It’s not about giving up - it’s about tuning in to what really matters.

We’ve become so obsessed with discipline and optimization that we’ve forgotten how to simply enjoy. In this episode, I unpack society’s “war on pleasure,” why suffering isn’t noble, why moderation needs moderation, and why it’s time to bring back hedonism.
