Ep 26: How To Be Happier At Work. A Re-Air of My Interview with Liz Moody

This is a re-air of an interview I got to do with Liz Moody for her podcast, Healthier Together. Liz is an incredible journalist and did some Oprah-like interviewing. I loved the questions she asked and how this episode turned out so I wanted to share it here with you all.

Here’s what we covered:

• Should your job align with your passion?
• Prior to launching your own business, what crucial question must you ask yourself?
• Strategies for developing work with a sense of purpose
• A precise formula to determine whether switching jobs or careers is advisable
• Identifying the four causes of burnout and implementing targeted solutions for each
• Utilizing a science-backed script to establish healthier boundaries with your supervisor
• Approaches to handle dislike towards your boss or coworkers
• Devising a plan to address feelings of being underpaid or undervalued
• Techniques to overcome the Sunday scaries (fear or anxiety about the upcoming workweek)
• How to conduct a silent retreat at home
• Tactics to combat the stress associated with an "always on" culture
