Work doesn’t end when the workday does. Even after we close our
laptops, our minds keep replaying awkward meetings, looming
deadlines, and unfinished to-do lists. Over time, that “always
on” mentality can quietly hijack our relationships, our health,
and our happiness.

Dr. Laurie sits down with psychologist and bestselling author Guy
Winch (Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your
Life) to explore the science of work stress — and why so many of
us get stuck in fight-or-flight mode long after we’ve left the
office.

Plus, Ben Walter, host of “The Unshakeables” and CEO
of Chase for Business, shares what he’s learned
from working with small business owners who don’t have
the option to simply “clock out.”

If you’ve ever felt like work is bleeding into everything, this
episode offers science-based tools to help you take your life
back.
