  5. How Constant Pressure and Demands Impact our Personal and Work Life with Fleur Peacock

    How Constant Pressure and Demands Impact our Personal and Work Life with Fleur Peacock

    How does constant pressure and demands impact our personal and work life? We have Fleur Peacock on the podcast to discuss this very topic. The average person receives 146 phone notifications daily, which translates to one notification every ten minutes. It’s no wonder we struggle to switch off, and feel constantly under pressure. Sarah and Fleur talk about the chaos of demands on people today, how it impacts our nervous system and overall performance in the workplace. Make sure to stick around to the end where she shares practical strategies you can implement today, to get better control of the chaos. About Fleur After 14 years in the fitness industry, moving countries, and navigating breast cancer, Fleur's work was never about reinventing herself. It was about coming home to who she'd always been. MoreMoxie is a body of work expressed through speaking, retreats, and embodied experiences, rooted in courage, connection, and the belief that after survival, something truer and more spacious becomes possible. This isn’t about routines or mindset hacks. It’s about reconnecting with your body, your nervous system, and your voice, so you can live and lead in ways that actually fit. Fleur create spaces where people can step out of survival mode and rebuild their lives and identities with honesty, depth, and room for joy. Shaped by lived experience as much as training, my work is real, embodied, and human. Expect warmth, truth, the occasional swear word, and a deep obsession for the nervous system. This is serious work but it’s allowed to be joyful.
