## Resource

In this episode, Jess Myers & Tamara Littleton join Emma Harris to dive into the absolute madness of our "always-on" culture. We're talking about the relentless pace, the constant pressure to do more with less, and how everything from the economy to global politics is just piling on the stress. We discuss the lingering trauma from COVID and how it's completely reshaped our lives, often leaving us feeling like we're working a six-and-a-half-day week. It's tough out there, and we're exploring why and how to stop it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
