  Burnout Recovery | Recalibrating Your Work Stress Expectations

  Sep 10, 202620 minS4

  Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. Burnout recovery starts with honest expectations. In this episode, Cheryl Paris shares why your work stress doesn't come from what you're doing—it comes from what you *expect* it to look like. Discover the silent expectations killing high-achievers' energy, plus three stress recovery techniques to recalibrate before burnout takes hold. For managers, perfectionists, and capable women carrying invisible loads. Success can be a trap when the only version you accept is “more, faster, higher.” I’m Cheryl Paris, and I’m joined by Dr Carla Caturia for a grounded, honest conversation about work stress, anxiety, and the quiet panic that hits when you even think about slowing down. If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion because rest feels like losing, we start where real rebuilding begins: your definition of success, the real one. Dr. Catua shares a powerful reframe from her work with athletes and high performers: outcomes matter, but the journey has to count. We talk about why chasing promotions, praise, or perfect results can keep you stuck in external validation and burnout, and how to shift toward learning, growth, and sustainable progress. You’ll hear practical goal-setting strategies that make ambition safer, including how to “chunk” big goals into small daily actions so you actually follow through, build consistency, and gather evidence that you can do hard things. We also go deeper on identity. When your job title becomes your identity, work starts to control your self-worth. We explore how to separate who you are from what you produce, how to widen your life beyond the nine-to-five, and what it looks like to build purpose through values, family, community, and legacy. To make it actionable, Dr. Catua offers a simple weekly reset: plan time off if you can, set two to three priority tasks to complete by 11 a.m., and limit email checks to twice a day to protect your focus and energy. If this helped you breathe a little easier, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s carrying too much, and leave a review so more people can find Work Stress Anxiety.

  Who Are You Becoming When You Chase Work Success

  Sep 9, 202620 minS4

  Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. Work can be meaningful and still be a trap. When achievement becomes identity, even small feedback can feel like a verdict, and “high standards” start looking a lot like anxiety, people pleasing, and a nervous system that never gets to rest. Cheryl sits down with Dr Carla Caturia to untangle the achievement trap and the moment ambition quietly turns into self-abandonment. We talk about the tells: always putting other people first, getting defensive with criticism, and measuring your value by awards, promotions, raises, or flawless performance. From burnout and overwork to the pressure of perfectionism, we map the difference between healthy pride in your job and the exhausting need to prove you are enough. We also get practical about boundaries at work, because workplaces often reward over-responsibility with more work. Dr. Carla breaks down why “just set a boundary” rarely sticks without inner work, and she explains limiting beliefs as the untrue assumptions that shape how you see yourself and how you show up. To bring it home, she offers a simple nightly question that shifts you from chasing goals to building a life that actually fits: “Who am I becoming?” If you want less work stress, steadier confidence, and a healthier relationship with success, listen through to the end. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

  Work Anxiety Can Become A Mask That Eats You Alive

  Sep 8, 202619 minS4

  Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. You can be the person everyone depends on and still be quietly running on empty. We sit down with Dr Carla Caturia to name what so many high-achieving women carry in silence: the pressure to look calm, capable, organised, and endlessly available, even when stress and anxiety are building underneath. We talk about the hidden emotional cost of being “the reliable one,” and why competence can become a mask that keeps you disconnected from your own needs. Dr. Carla breaks down her “success without self” cycle, including how chasing achievement can turn into an identity that crowds out rest, self-trust, and joy. We get honest about what burnout can look like in real life, from years of overwork to panic, shutdown, and the feeling that you’re performing at a high level while trusting yourself less. If you’ve ever thought, “This is just normal,” while waking early, working late, and never truly switching off, this conversation will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way. We also dig into practical signs and resets: perfectionism that won’t let go, overthinking that steals sleep, and the moment “busy” crosses into chronic stress. Dr. Carla shares why “good enough” is a skill, how boundaries protect your energy, and why saying no is often the biggest action you can take at work and at home. Most importantly, we end with a message for anyone whispering “I’m fine” while spiralling inside: you’re not alone, and support is a strategy. If this hit home, share it with a friend who always seems okay, subscribe for more conversations on work stress and anxiety, and leave a review to help more women find the support they deserve.

  Why Sunday Dread Hits High-Achievers | Work Anxiety Management

  Sep 7, 202621 minS4

  Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. That Sunday night panic feels like betrayal—your mind says "stop spiraling" while your nervous system screams danger. For high-achieving women, this isn't laziness; it's dysregulation. Learn why work anxiety peaks on Sunday evenings, how nervous system awareness transforms that dread into a reset signal, and three practical tools to restore calm before Monday. If you're lying awake at 10 p.m. spiraling about your inbox, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting yourself and start supporting your nervous system instead. Sunday evening looks like rest on the outside, but inside your body is already in Monday mode. We walk through why that happens, using Rachel’s story: a quiet house, a normal afternoon, then the sudden stomach drop when the clock reminds her the work week is coming. We unpack how “Sunday scaries” can be a form of anticipatory anxiety, where your nervous system tries to prevent surprise by rehearsing, checking, and scanning for problems before they appear. We also get honest about what well-being advice often skips. If the pressure at work is real, chronic understaffing, bullying, unrealistic expectations, your anxiety is not a character flaw. Still, worrying earlier does not create more control. When email checking brings a quick hit of relief, it can train your brain to ring the alarm sooner next weekend. Sunday becomes a trigger, like a bell, and your time off gets quietly billed to work stress. We share a practical reset you can try tonight: finish one specific sentence, “Tomorrow I’m afraid that ___,” then decide whether it deserves one small, bounded action for 5 to 10 minutes or whether it belongs on Monday’s list. The aim is not perfection. It is learning to notice the signal without obeying it, and protecting your recovery time so you can show up with more steadiness. If this resonates, subscribe for more tools for work anxiety and burnout, share the episode with someone who dreads Sundays, and leave a review so more listeners can find the words for what they are carrying.

  Stop the Wrong Stress Battles | Work Burnout Prevention

  Aug 13, 202625 minS4

  Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. Stress at work doesn’t just make you tired. It can quietly strip away your patience, your focus, and the parts of you that used to feel steady. We’re joined by clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Vanessa Bo Richard, who shares a practical framework she built from both personal experience and brain science: the FORWARD Method. We start with the most important move when you feel overwhelmed: framing the problem. Dr. Richard explains how to sort stressors into what you can fix, what you should face for a meaningful goal, and what you may need to forget because it is unhealthy to accept. From there, we dig into outlook without fake positivity, why being “capable of struggle” expands your options, and how rigid beliefs like “I can’t leave” can trap you in higher-cost choices. Then we get specific about the neuropsychology of chronic stress. When the amygdala is on high alert, clear thinking shrinks and rumination takes over. Dr. Richard explains how outside understanding, mentors, books, podcasts, or therapy can bring your prefrontal cortex back online so you can make better decisions. We also talk about reflection that gives pain meaning without pretending you have to be grateful, plus a Monday-morning reset for anyone running on empty using her “brain dollars” idea. If this helped, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who’s burning out, and leave a review so more people can find practical tools for workplace stress and anxiety.
