About this listen

These days it can feel like life is a never-ending to-do list, and it's increasingly difficult to balance work and life. People everywhere are unhappy about their work-life balance, and we're seeing growing numbers of people reporting burnout.

Comedian and ex-lawyer Alice Fraser has experienced the costs of work-life imbalance first-hand, so she teams up with neuroscientist Ash Ranpura to look for solutions to the demands of modern life.

They journey from the workplace, which is literally killing us, through to our smartphone, beds and even brains, to work out where we're going wrong and find some science-based solutions.

Loved it! Very helpful

Found this extremely helpful. Touched base on important topics in a clever way. I finished feeling empowered and not feeling attacked or upset over realising my current flaws which I have been suppressing and been in denial about. Opened my eyes to the possibility of positive change. So glad I took the time to listen!
