Is our always on, always connected work culture taking a toll on our mental health? In this episode, Cathy explores...
- the growing prevalence of anxiety and depression among working adults through the lens of our 'always on', 24/7 work culture;
- the role of the Pandemic and the conditions that were already present in the workplace that contributed to this trend;
- how technology, instant communication and ever-accelerating work processes combine to create more and more stress;
- how embracing our limits offers a way forward;
- the role of boundaries and the three things people who are skilled at boundaries have in common;
- and finally, the case for seeing our limitations as sources of creativity, value and freedom.
Here are some links to resources she references in the episode.
