Notice small perks to balance your day

Do you ever feel like work has taken over your life? Or maybe you’ve tried to find "work-life balance,” but it feels impossible? If your job has you feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, this episode is for you.

My guest is psychologist and author Guy Winch, whose latest book, Mind Over Grind, offers practical strategies to help you reclaim your time, energy, and mental well-being no matter how high-status or high-stress your job is.

Some of the things we discuss are:

• Why work-life balance starts in your head—not your schedule
• The hidden costs of saying “yes” too often and how to set boundaries
• How to take micro-breaks that actually leave you feeling restored
• The power of rituals to transition from work mode to life mode
• How to triple-dip your vacations for maximum joy and recovery
• Why shifting your mindset about work can make you mentally stronger

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of work and stress, Guy’s advice will help you break free and find more joy in your day-to-day life.
