The Better Workday Podcast

While work can be a great source of personal growth and satisfaction, it can also take a heavy toll on our well-being when boundaries, challenge, and connection are missing.

In this episode, Niamh shares three personal stories that show the distinct ways work can negatively impact well-being: burnout from overwork, "boreout" from a lack of challenge, and the unexpected loneliness of working independently. 

She offers key insights to help you recognise these signs and spark meaningful conversations about well-being in your workplace.
