    If your work day looks like back-to-back meetings, constant pressure, and zero time to breathe, this episode explains what that’s actually doing to you. Because it doesn’t just stay at your desk.

We get into: Why your nervous system doesn’t switch off after workHow workplace pressure drives coping behaviours (like emotional eating)The link between people-pleasing and losing control elsewhereWhy willpower isn’t the fixWhat actually needs to change (and yes, it starts at work)If you’ve ever wondered why you’re 'fine' at work but feel chaotic outside of it, this will help connect the dots.

    What to do when boundaries don’t work

    Setting boundaries at work sounds great in theory… but what happens when you try it and nothing changes? In this episode of Corporate Survival Club, we talk about the reality of what happens when boundaries don’t immediately solve the problem. Sometimes the issue isn’t just about communication, it’s about the system you’re working within. We explore the difference between skill issues and system issues, how to recognise when workload problems are structural, and what realistic options you actually have before jumping straight to “I need to quit my job”. You’ll also learn practical ways to: renegotiate priorities with your manager make your workload visible streamline how work comes to you adjust unrealistic expectations (including your own) recognise the difference between a busy period and a truly unsustainable role Because boundaries don’t always fix the system, but they can reveal the truth about it. If work still feels overwhelming even after you’ve tried to set boundaries, this episode will help you understand why, and what you can do next. Waitlist now open.

    Pushback at work? Listen to this before you panic

    Setting boundaries at work is one thing. Dealing with the pushback is another. In this episode of Corporate Survival Club, we talk about why pushback feels so personal, especially if you’ve built your identity around being reliable, helpful, and the one who always says yes. You’ll learn what pushback actually means, how to handle phrases like “it’ll only take five minutes” and “everyone else manages,” and how to stay grounded without over-explaining or backing down. Because pushback doesn’t mean failure. Often, it just means the pattern has changed. Free cheat sheet to help you stop drowning at ⁠work here⁠.

    How to set boundaries at work (without burning bridges)

    Welcome back to the Corporate Survival Club, where we share practical ways for you to work well without working yourself into the ground. In the last episode, we talked about what boundaries actually are and why they’re not just about saying no or being difficult, even though that’s often how they’re framed. Today, I really want to get practical. Because if you’re listening thinking,“Okay, I get why boundaries matter, but I don’t actually know how to do this at work,” then this episode is for you. And also ,if you’re already feeling a bit tense just hearing the word boundaries, that’s very normal. Free cheat sheet to help you stop drowning at ⁠work here⁠.

    Why boundaries matter more than you think

    Boundaries are often misunderstood. They're seen as selfish, difficult, or all about saying no. In this second episode of Corporate Survival Club, I explain why boundaries actually matter, why they’re about far more than refusing work, and how they can help you move from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and out of control to clearer, calmer, and more in charge of your time and energy. This episode is about understanding boundaries differently - as a framework for working sustainably, not a rulebook for saying no.
