Times are tough right now, and nearly everyone is feeling the pressure. Whether you’re a wellbeing professional, a champion, a people leader, or someone who believes wellbeing should be central to work, you'll know the challenges are real and the cost is high.
I’m Sarah McGuinness, founder of Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW) and a workplace wellbeing specialist with a psychology background. I know firsthand what burnout feels like - I burnt out spectacularly in 2020, and recovery was a very long road.
Sharing my story made me realise how many others were struggling too, and that something had to change. That’s what we're now doing at ROW: breaking burnout culture - for good.
This podcast is for you. Each episode brings real stories, expert insights, and practical strategies to help you make a difference -whether that’s boosting your own wellbeing, supporting your team, or transforming workplace culture.
We tackle burnout and explore the issues that matter most: inclusivity, bullying, menopause, financial health, psychological safety, and more.

Episode 2: How workplaces can respond to and prevent family violence
In this episode, we turn our focus to the important role that workplaces can play in preventing family violence.
Workplaces play a critical role in keeping people safe, holding those who inflict violence to account, and being a voice for change. New laws in New Zealand also require workplaces to recognise family violence as a health and safety issue and to have adequate measures in place.
To provide us with guidance on how to create family violence-free workplaces, I'm joined by Holly Carrington from Shine.
Holly is Shine’s DVFREE & Policy Adviser. Shine is a highly reputable specialist domestic abuse service provider that has been helping victims of domestic abuse to become safe since 1990.
In this interview, Holly shares how workplaces can respond to this issue and she outlines steps we can all take to create a family violence-free New Zealand.

She now works with a wide range of organisations, creating interpersonal and intrapersonal insight on how behaviours impact success.

She worked as a practicing Clinical Psychologist and an Academic Tutor and researcher at Oxford University, UK. After her career in Clinical Psychology, she has worked in corporate for 15 years using psychological knowledge, trust and collaboration to improve growth.
