Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we'll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/inside-job-703872"},"episode":{"title":"244: Can We Be Alone With Our Thoughts","slug":"244-can-we-be-alone-with-our-thoughts","published_at":"2026-05-12T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/inside-job-703872/244-can-we-be-alone-with-our-thoughts","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/inside-job-703872","url":"https://www.insidejobthepodcast.com/episodes/244","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/insidejobthepodcast/244_Can_We_Be_Alone_With_Our_Thoughts.mp3?dest-id=1942712","summary":"A recent article Eric read stating people would rather hurt themselves than sit alone with their thoughts for more than a few minutes, is the inspiration behind this episode.
