Stress happens when the demands of a situation outweigh the resources available to meet them. In the modern workplace, that gap is widening and it’s costing more than most people realise.
In this episode, stress scientist Alexandra Crosswell breaks down what chronic low-grade stress is actually doing to the body, why AI has introduced a new kind of threat that hits differently from other workplace pressures,  touching both livelihood and sense of belonging, and what can be done practically to start recovering.
Alexandra also touches on why the messy middle of uncertainty, as uncomfortable as it is, might also be where the most creativity lives.
