Busy Doing Well Ep 1: Why We Struggle in Today’s Busy Modern World
Why modern life can feel a struggle to keep up, the role of stress, and why understanding our challenges is the first key to living and working well...
Modern life can often feel relentless: endless to-do lists, constant notifications, fear-driven headlines, and the pressure to always be “on.” No wonder so many of us end up exhausted, stressed, or stuck in survival mode.
In this first full episode of Busy Doing Well, I explore:
- Why our modern world is at odds with our biology.
- How “convenience” often comes at the cost of wellbeing.
- Why stress is the central challenge we need to understand.
- The difference between acute and chronic stress, and why the latter is so damaging.
This episode sets the scene for what’s ahead - next, we’ll look at stress in more detail and then move on to my 'ethos', before moving into the foundations series, where I’ll share the key pillars of wellbeing I use in my coaching work
Listen in to start reframing why life can often feel hard to keep up with… and why it doesn’t have to be or stay that way.
