Most of us would like to find meaning in the work we do, but many of us are burnt out or stressed at our jobs. In this episode, an international mental wellness educator, a former journalist turned meditation advocate, and the author of the literal book on millennial burnout share why –and how– we can rethink our relationship to work and stress entirely.
The episodes we referenced were:
• Anne Helen Petersen on changing your relationship to work and the guardrails that can prevent burnout
•How to cultivate the skill of happiness (w/ Dan Harris)
•How to stop finding your self-worth through your job (w/ Gloria Chan Packer)
