Summary

In this episode, Sherilyn Shackell and Zaid Al-Kasab join Emma Harris to unpack why work has always been hard and why it feels so relentless right now. From the reality of burnout and mental health to the pressure of endless to-do lists, “always-on” expectations and post-COVID hangovers, they explore what’s actually driving exhaustion in our industry. This is a raw, hopeful conversation about leadership, choice, sleep, boundaries and why slowing down isn’t weakness, it’s how you survive and perform without breaking yourself. Hosted on Acast.
