    The Real Reason Workplace Conflict Happens with Kate Russell

    In this thought-provoking episode of Pick My Brain, we sit down with workplace relations expert Kate Russell to explore the reality behind so-called “difficult” people at work and why, more often than not, we’re actually dealing with people in difficulty. Together, we unpack the complex dynamics behind challenging workplace relationships and conversations, moving beyond policies, processes, and quick fixes to focus on what truly matters: people. Kate shares a refreshing and deeply human approach to leadership, conflict, and workplace culture, one grounded in curiosity, empathy, and understanding the root cause rather than simply reacting to behaviour. This conversation is especially valuable for senior leaders, middle managers, business owners, and HR professionals navigating the increasing complexity of modern workplaces. Kate challenges traditional approaches to performance and conflict management, offering practical insights into how authentic listening and meaningful dialogue can create safer, more accountable, and more connected teams. Throughout the episode, we explore why slowing conversations down often leads to better long-term outcomes, how asking thoughtful questions builds trust, and why people are far more likely to follow rules and processes they helped create themselves. At its heart, this episode powerfully reminds us that conversations can transform workplace culture, strengthen relationships, and create lasting impact when we choose empathy over assumption and curiosity over control. *Follow **Cuppa.tv* (http://Cuppa.tv)* and join our Circle Community to stay in the know *https://cuppa.tv/circle-community/ *Want to speak further with our guest? *https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/profiles/kate-russell *Linkedin: *https://www.linkedin.com/company/cuppatv/ *Instagram: *https://www.instagram.com/cuppa.tv/ *Facebook: *https://www.facebook.com/enjoycuppa.tv https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/profiles/kate-russell

    Body Burnout: Why You're Still Exhausted After Rest | Filipa & Chris Bellette

    Burnout isn't always about working too hard. Sometimes it's your body telling you that deeper systems have been under pressure for far too long. In this episode of Pick My Brain, Daniel Murray sits down with Chris and Philippa, founders of Chris & Filly Functional Medicine, to explore why so many high performers reach a point where rest no longer restores them. Together they unpack the concept of "Body Burnout"—how chronic stress affects your hormones, nervous system, gut health and emotional wellbeing—and why healing requires more than simply taking time off. They also discuss perfectionism, people pleasing, trauma, workplace culture, emotional regulation, and practical ways leaders can better support themselves and their teams. Whether you're leading others, supporting employees, or feeling exhausted yourself, this conversation provides practical insights into understanding burnout at its root. In this episode: What Body Burnout actually is Why holidays don't always fix burnout The biological systems affected by chronic stress The surprising connection between gut health and burnout How perfectionism and people pleasing fuel exhaustion The role trauma plays in long-term burnout Why many blood tests come back "normal" Practical strategies for recovery What workplaces can do differently Why healing starts with self-awareness Follow Cuppa.tv and join our Circle Community to stay in the know https://cuppa.tv/circle-community/ Want to speak further with our guest? https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/browse-our-brains Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cuppatv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuppa.tv/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/enjoycuppa.tv

    Modern Burnout: The Brain Science Behind Stress, Overwhelm & Recovery | Dr Delia McCabe

    Burnout isn't just about working too hard anymore. In this powerful conversation, neuroscientist and clinical psychologist Dr Delia McCabe explains why today's burnout epidemic is far bigger than workplace stress. From information overload and constant connectivity to decision fatigue and loss of meaning, our brains are carrying more than they were ever designed to handle. Drawing on more than 20 years of neuroscience research, Delia shares practical, science-backed strategies to help leaders and individuals understand what's really happening inside the brain—and what we can do to recover before burnout becomes our new normal. In this episode you'll discover: • Why modern burnout is different from traditional burnout • How chronic stress changes your brain • The hidden cost of information overload • Decision fatigue vs choice fatigue vs engagement fatigue • Why holidays often don't fix burnout • The role nutrition plays in brain energy and resilience • Why human connection is one of our greatest protective factors • Practical strategies to regain focus, energy and control Whether you're a leader, business owner, HR professional or simply trying to navigate today's increasingly complex world, this conversation offers practical tools grounded in neuroscience.

    Why Happiness Is a Skill We Must Learn with Declan Edwards

    In a world where stress, worry, and burnout are rising, how can we learn to create genuine happiness not just fleeting moments of joy, but a sustainable way of living and working? In this inspiring conversation, Declan Edwards joins Cuppa.tv to explore why happiness is both a science and a skillset, and why it has never been more important for individuals, teams, and communities to actively practise it. With Australia experiencing a decade-long decline in the World Happiness Index and ranking among the most stressed countries globally, Declan shares practical, research-backed insights into what happiness really means and how we can cultivate it in everyday life. Drawing on his Master’s degree in Positive Psychology and experience speaking with organisations including the United Nations General Assembly, TEDx, the Red Cross, and PwC, Declan unpacks the habits, mindsets, and behaviours that can help people thrive even in challenging times. Together, we explore the most common mistakes people make when chasing happiness, the difference between temporary pleasure and lasting wellbeing, and simple yet powerful practices that can create meaningful change at work and at home. This conversation is especially valuable for people and culture leaders, teams navigating pressure and change, and anyone wanting to expand their wellbeing and resilience.

    Why Joy Is the Secret to Great Work with Chloe Lim

    What if joy isn’t the reward for great work, but the way great work happens? In this energising episode, we’re joined by Chloe Lim to explore the serious business of joy and why playful excellence may be one of the most underestimated forces in learning, leadership and life. Together, we challenge the long-held belief that play is a distraction, and instead reframe it as a powerful pathway to deeper engagement, creativity and impact. At a time when burnout is worn as a badge of honour and mediocrity has quietly become the norm, this conversation invites us to rethink what excellence really looks like. From classrooms to boardrooms, and in the everyday moments that shape how we show up, Chloe makes a compelling case for joy as a discipline, not a luxury. Drawing on her unique journey from molecular biologist to performer, alongside research in play, positive psychology and leadership, Chloe shares practical and thought-provoking insights on how joy, story and curiosity can transform the way we learn, lead and connect. This conversation is for leaders, educators, creatives, parents and anyone ready to move beyond disengagement and rediscover a sense of meaning in their work and life. Together, we explore how playful excellence can deepen trust, unlock potential and create environments where people can truly thrive. Because when we treat joy as the standard, not the exception, we don’t just feel better — we do better. *Follow **Cuppa.tv* (http://Cuppa.tv)* and join our Circle Community to stay in the know *https://community.cuppa.tv/join?invitation_token=90c29f3ba321325c6e5891e80327bbe65d8b4c31-25d2bfd7-06f5-45ca-96b7-4882e3515edc *Want to speak further with our guest? *https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/profiles/dr-chloe-lim *Linkedin: *https://www.linkedin.com/company/cuppatv/ *Instagram: *https://www.instagram.com/cuppa.tv/ *Facebook: *https://www.facebook.com/enjoycuppa.tv

    Why Biodiversity Matters More Than You Think | Biodiveristy Council & Sarah Bekessy

    What happens when we stop seeing nature as something “out there” — and recognise it as something deeply connected to our everyday lives, health, cities, and future? The Biodiversity Council exists to help Australians better understand and respond to the growing biodiversity crisis. Bringing together some of the country’s leading scientists and experts, the Council translates complex environmental science into practical, accessible action — helping communities, governments, and organisations protect the ecosystems we all depend on. Jo Taranto sits down with Professor Sarah Bekessy, Lead Councillor of the Biodiversity Council and Industry Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne, for an honest and hopeful conversation about the state of biodiversity in Australia, the human behaviours driving environmental decline, and the practical solutions already making a difference. Together, they explore why biodiversity loss affects far more than wildlife, how cities can be designed to reconnect people with nature, and why creating “nature positive” communities is essential for both environmental and human wellbeing. This quarter, the Cuppa Collective is donating $2,500 to the Biodiversity Council to support their work advocating for evidence-based environmental action and protecting Australia’s unique ecosystems for future generations. Grab your cuppa, learn something meaningful — and discover one small way you can help protect the natural world around you.

She leads the ICON Science research group, which uses interdisciplinary approaches to solve complex biodiversity conservation problems. Her work focuses on understanding human behaviour in conservation, designing cities that encourage everyday experiences with nature, and defining and measuring “nature positive” development. Sarah co-developed the Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design protocol, now used by developers, governments, and organisations across Australia to create innovative urban biodiversity strategies that better support both people and ecosystems. At Cuppa.tv, we believe conversations create impact.
