In episode 119 , we dig into a question many of us have experienced firsthand: Why does a stressful day at work make us (and our partners!) devour cookies, takeout, or comfort food.We're joined by Dr. Wiston Rodriguez, Assistant Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, to explore new research on how workplace stressors, specifically illegitimate tasks, shape employees' eating behaviors after work.Illegitimate tasks are assignments that fall outside your role or feel demeaning (like being asked to do work that “isn't your job”). Dr. Rodriguez's research shows these experiences don't just impact your mood—they can trigger negative emotions that lead to unhealthy eating behaviors, and those effects don't stop with you.We discuss:* What illegitimate tasks are and why they feel so stressful* How workplace stress drives emotional eating and poor food choices* The surprising finding that these eating behaviors spill over to partners and families* How broader systems—like income, access to food, and work conditions—shape health outcomes* Why workplace stress doesn't just affect performance—it affects physical health and long‑term well‑being* Practical steps managers and organizations can take to reduce harm, from clear communication to supportive workplace cultureThis episode highlights how everyday workplace decisions—like how tasks are assigned—can ripple outward into employees' homes, relationships, and health behaviors.You can find Dr. Rodriguez here (https://psychology.sdsu.edu/people/wiston-rodriguez/).You can find the paper here (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41542-025-00247-w).

On this week's episode, we talk about why corporate culture acts like every email is a national emergency. From fake urgency and “ASAP” messages to pointless meetings and Slack panic, we get into why so many jobs feel unnecessarily stressful. We talk burnout, hustle culture, work anxiety, and the pressure to always be available even when nothing is actually that serious. Plus, we share our own experiences with workplace chaos, dramatic coworkers, and the corporate phrases that instantly ruin your day.Support the showBecome a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1786960/supportFollow us on Instagram, TikTok, and UpScrolled @ObnoxiouslyPleasantFollow us on Twitter @TheOP_Podcast

In episode 117, we explore a question many working parents and professionals experience daily: Why do some demanding workdays leave us energized and fulfilled at home, while others leave us completely drained?Drawing on a recent daily diary study published by Junker and colleagues in Work & Stress, we unpack new research on workload, work‑related rumination, boundary control, and work‑to‑home spillover. The findings help explain why workload has long shown mixed and confusing effects in the research: sometimes it's harmful, and sometimes it actually enhances life outside of work.We discuss:* Why high workload isn't always bad—and when it can lead to positive work‑to‑home enrichment* The critical difference between work‑related rumination (stressful, tense replaying) and problem‑solving pondering (energizing, creative thinking)* How these two mental processes shape whether work stress helps or hurts family life* Why boundary control matters, and why it helps amplify positive spillover but doesn't eliminate negative rumination* Practical implications for managers: how framing, autonomy, and prioritization can reduce harm when workloads increase* What individuals can do on high‑demand days to protect their energy and relationships at homeWe have a video version of this podcast available on our YouTube: This is a public episode.

Stress doesn't stay at work. It follows you home and seeps into your marriage. In this episode, I share a real example of a couple whose stressful roles were quietly creating impatience and distance between them. We explore a powerful exercise: identify the three things you truly need to feel fulfilled — no more than three — and protect what makes you come alive. When you recognize that you're making a choice to stay in a stressful role, you move from resentment to empowered action. Sometimes you can't change the circumstance, but you can change how you think about it and how you show up. And when you do, your life, and your relationship,begins to feel different. Thinking about ending your marriage and want to do it in a way that feels clear, calm, and intentional? Enroll in Divorce Differently (https://sharonpope.com/divorce). Inside this mini course, I'll walk you step-by-step through how to move through separation with love and grace so you can protect your peace, your integrity, and the people you care about most.
In the 1990s, Glenn Jarvis was living in London working for a very powerful American corporation called Enron. He was under a huge amount of stress at work, when his mental health began to spiral downwards.In the late 1990s Australian Glenn Jarvis won a job in London with Enron, a giant American energy and investment corporation. Life was exhilarating and he made lots of friends.But after a time Glenn began to notice some very odd transactions at Enron.Giant amounts of money were flooding in to the company that simply couldn't be accounted for.Glenn took it up with with his bosses, but they didn't want to know.In part because of the questions he was asking, Glenn's reputation at work began to change, and his mental health began to deteriorate.He had a psychotic episode, and spent the next 2 years in and out of mental health units in Australia and the UK.Eventually he found himself back in town of Queanbeyan where he grew up, with no job, no money, and few friends who understood what he'd been through.His family stuck by him, but things were difficult, and he ended up in supported accommodation.Across the road from where he was living was a local Bowling Club. He would go there and buy a single beer most nights, and eventually befriended some of the regulars.With the help of these elderly friends, and meaningful work, Glenn began a slow and painstaking climb back into an entirely different kind of life.
Dex Randall explains how chronic stress keeps the body in survival mode through ongoing cortisol activation, damaging brain function, health, and longevity even when you feel “fine” today. He contrasts normal stress (fight/flight followed by reset) with chronic stress (no reset). Over the long term, stress dysregulates the nervous system, increases inflammation, accelerates aging, and is linked to diseases including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, and neurodegeneration. He outlines strategies to re-regulate the nervous system at work (boundaries, priorities, stopping after hours) and at home (morning daylight, movement, eating early, delaying caffeine, slow breathing, social connection, “no emotional escape,” and vagus-nerve box breathing.)Ask Dex AI Coach "How can I recover from fight-or-flight?" at https://app.coachvox.ai/share/DexRandallSubscribe for more leadership and burnout recovery insights → https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7393784577229709312Refs#1 https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/61405/20260303/hidden-impact-stress-what-stress-science-reveals-about-cortisol-effects-mental-health-biology.htm#2 https://thriveworks.com/help-with/feelings-emotions/dysregulated-nervous-system/#3 https://www.brainzmagazine.com/post/workplace-stress-impact-on-your-nervous-system#4 https://www.healthline.com/health/telomeres#significance#5 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/the-human-brain-may-contain-as-much-as-a-spoons-worth-of-microplastics-new-research-suggests-180985995/Send a text----------------------------------- Resources:Leadership without Burnout https://go.dexrandall.com/leadershipDex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

Send a textDr. Guy Winch, bestselling author and psychologist, joins Joe to discuss his newest book, Mind Over Grind to explore how job stress quietly spills beyond the office—and into our evenings, our sleep, and our relationships.What starts as a difficult meeting or looming deadline doesn't end at 1700. It follows us home. From the “Sunday Scaries” to 2AM rumination loops, Guy explains how modern work keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight—and why we're often blind to the ways we sabotage our future selves in the process.Joe reflects on his time in command and the culture of constant availability in the military, while Guy highlights research showing that leaders have far more power to reduce stress than they realize. Sometimes it's not about solving the problem—just showing that you care.They also spend time on practical tools: reframing procrastination, managing rumination, cultivating a better relationship with your “future self,” and creating intentional rituals that signal the workday is over.Watch the full interview on YouTube!Joe and Guy also discuss:Why the dread of Monday is often worse than Monday itselfHow procrastination is really about avoiding feelings—not tasksThe danger of treating your future self like a strangerHow to stop replaying failures at 2AMThe “Memoir Test” for putting problems in perspectiveWhy naming your emotions reduces their intensityHow journaling helps you spot recurring “icebergs” in your lifeWhy Instagram reels don't actually relax youThe science behind clothing, rituals, and mental transitionsWhether you're in the military, the corporate world, or building something of your own, this episode is a reminder that stress doesn't stay at work—and that managing your inner world is part of leading well.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

Work stress doesn't stay neatly at work. It follows you home. It shows up in the tone of your voice, the snap of your patience, and that feeling of being “on edge” even when nothing is technically wrong. If you've ever walked through the door already exhausted, replaying work conversations in your head while your kids need you now, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist Guy Winch, author of Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life, to talk about why work stress hits moms so hard—and what actually helps. We go beyond “just relax” and get into the science of emotional health, burnout, and how stress quietly spills into parenting and family dynamics. This episode is especially for moms who are high achievers, caregivers, and the emotional glue holding everything together—at work and at home. In this episode, we talk about: Why ruminating about work is actually unpaid overtime—and how it drains your patience at home How burnout moves in both directions, from work to parenting and back again The science behind why your body stays in “battle mode” long after the workday ends Simple, realistic transition rituals that help your brain shift from work mode to home mode Why taking time for yourself isn't selfish—it's protective for your emotional health How a parent's stress affects the entire household, even when you think you're hiding it What to do when you're so burnt out that taking action feels impossible Why this conversation matters So many moms blame themselves for snapping, zoning out, or feeling disconnected at home—when the real issue is chronic stress and emotional overload. Guy explains why this isn't a personal failure, but a nervous system problem that needs support, structure, and intention. You'll walk away with language to understand what's happening inside you—and practical ways to stop work stress from hijacking your home life. About today's guest Guy Winch is a psychologist and leading voice in emotional health. He brings science-backed tools to everyday struggles like burnout, rumination, and emotional exhaustion. His book, Mind Over Grind: How to Break Free When Work Hijacks Your Life, explores how modern work culture affects mental health—and what we can realistically do about it.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1872Here's what nobody tells you about chronic work stress: it doesn't just make you tired or irritable. It shuts down your ability to feel anything at all. Guy Winch has worked with hundreds of people who thought they'd fallen out of love with their partners, only to discover something more unsettling. They hadn't fallen out of love. They'd gone numb. When you're treading water with the stress level up to your neck, your brain does something protective but devastating. It turns off the feelings to help you function. The problem is, it doesn't just turn off the stress. It turns off everything. You come home at the end of the day, and when your partner goes to hug you, you're stiff. You're still in work mode. You can't feel the warmth, the connection, the love. And after enough times being rejected like that, your partner stops being a fan too. That's when the real distance starts.Guy reveals something that changes everything: your partner probably didn't change at all. You did. And here's the breakthrough that makes this bearable to hear. You can change yourself back. Stop telling yourself your job is "very stressful" because that narrative reinforces the numbness and keeps you on constant alert. Even firefighters, who literally run into burning buildings, describe their jobs as "intermittently stressful" because they recognize the downtime. If they can reframe their reality, you can too. Find the moments between the stress. Prepare your favorite lunch. Listen to music that brings you joy. Crack jokes with coworkers. Create tiny pockets of feeling throughout your day. Lower the water level first, then reconnect with what you love. Your relationship isn't broken. You're just drowning, and you need to learn how to breathe again.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why is it so hard to “switch off” at the end of the day?You close your laptop, but your mind keeps buzzing. You replay conversations, run through tomorrow's to-dos, maybe even reach for your phone to check just one more email. And even if you try to relax with food, TV, or scrolling, the stress lingers.That's because your nervous system doesn't instantly reset when work ends. Without the right signals, your body stays stuck in fight-or-flight—leaving you restless, snappy, and unable to truly rest.In this episode, I'll walk you through a simple 10-minute transition ritual that helps your body actually release the stress of the day and step into your evening with more peace, presence, and joy.You'll learn: ✔️ Why your brain and body resist shutting down after work (and what's really going on physiologically) ✔️ How “happy hormones” like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins help you reset ✔️ A guided, science-backed practice that combines breath, somatic release, and prayer ✔️ How to re-enter your evening grounded—in your body, in your relationships, and in God's rest

Send us Fan Mail(Buckle up for a passionate, solo episode where I dive deep into the world of Superman fandom and tackle the summer heat that's driving me crazy. When temperatures hit triple digits, staying hydrated becomes essential – skip those energy drinks that leave you feeling worse and stick with water to beat the heat!The heart of this episode centers on my unfiltered take on Superman 2025, James Gunn's triumphant revival that's already crossed the $600 million mark at the global box office in just over a month. As a lifelong Superman fan who's watched the film seven times already, I break down why this latest interpretation deserves celebration rather than scorn. From David Corenswet's captivating performance to the Alex Ross-inspired emblem that grows on you with each viewing, this film honors the character while establishing its own unique identity.What fascinates me most is how online discourse reveals troubling patterns in fandom culture – particularly how many critics form opinions without actually watching the films they're condemning. I explore the strange phenomenon of fans who attacked Zack Snyder's films upon release only to later claim they were misunderstood masterpieces, and how we're seeing this same pattern with early detractors of Superman 2025 now changing their tune. The heart of my argument? True Superman fans appreciate the character across different portrayals and recognize that what matters most isn't who directs or stars in these films, but whether they capture the essence of what makes Superman an enduring cultural icon.Have you seen Superman 2025 yet?
