    Carsten Meier begleitet seit über zehn Jahren Unternehmen dabei, Arbeit flexibler und menschlicher zu gestalten. Als Initiator von Deutschlands größter Pilotstudie zur Viertagewoche weiß er, wovon er spricht. In dieser Folge reden Konstantin und Carsten darüber, ob New Work als Bewegung gescheitert ist, was wir daraus lernen können und warum Selbstverantwortung das ist, was in der ganzen Debatte die letzten Jahre gefehlt hat. Dazu geht es um die Viertagewoche, was sie wirklich bringt, welche Dimensionen von Flexibilität wir im Job systematisch ignorieren und warum KI die Frage, wem Effizienzgewinne gehören, dringender macht als je zuvor.

    — Today we welcome Susan Winchester — a guide for professionals who want to transform career conflict into healing and growth. Susan helps people whose difficult childhoods quietly shape their work lives, turning perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overdrive into sources of insight rather than shame. Her message is simple but powerful: damage is not destiny, and the workplace can be a training ground for new, healthier ways of being. We'll explore the idea of the ASDP — the Adult Survivor of a Damaged Past — and the "bumper car" moments that trigger old beliefs in everyday career conflicts. Susan will share why most human suffering springs from unresolved wounds and automatic patterns, how those patterns show up at work, and how practical, research-based tools (career coaching, positive psychology, and neuroplasticity) can rewire responses for better relationships, leadership, and meaning. We'll also delve into her book, Healing at Work, co-written with Martha I. Finney: why it was written, the intention behind it, and how readers can use career challenges as opportunities to practice boundaries, self-love, and new behaviors. Valeria interviews  Susan Schmitt Winchester  — She is the author of  "Healing at Work: A Guide to Using Career Conflicts to Overcome Your Past and Build the Future You Deserve." Susan J. Schmitt Winchester is the past Chief HR officer for Applied Materials, a Fortune 150 Silicon Valley company, & Rockwell Automation, a Fortune 500 Midwest company.  She is an author & sought-after keynote speaker, TEDx speaker and Executive Coach/Consultant, known for her book, "Healing at Work" with co-author Martha Finney. Healing at Work was recently recognized as an Amazon International Best Seller in 5 countries.  Susan leverages her 36+ years of experience as a Human Resources Executive to help organizations reduce turnover, elevate employee engagement, and boost corporate performance by focusing on innovative strategies to accelerate human potential and performance. She has worked across industries including consumer packaged goods, management consulting, automotive, industrial automation, technology, banking, and semiconductors. She has lived, worked, and studied, both in the US and in Europe.  Susan's passion lies in teaching and inspiring executives, leaders, and professionals to discover greater self-acceptance, fulfillment, and joy at work and in life.  She is a fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources, the highest professional honor for leaders in HR.

    Is work-life balance an elusive concept you have yet to master while running your life and neuro biz? In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS discuss the topic with NeuroBiz Coach, Emily Duval Ledger. Many clinicians start businesses to escape traditional job burnout but then recreate the same patterns by overworking and glorifying busyness. In the show we talk about recognizing when "busy" becomes unproductive, using tools like time-blocking, planners, and realistic daily priorities to focus on high-impact tasks and reduce urgency overload, but, really, it is about much more than just "tools." The topic of metacognition—noticing and questioning automatic thoughts about productivity—comes up.  We encourage business owners to listen to signals like dread and frustration, realign work with the clients and tasks that energize you and continually adjust your business models to support long-term well-being for yourself and your team.

    This week, Sarah Segal, Jaci Russo, and Lena McGuire tackle a question many service business owners face: Which is the bigger risk—an employee who feels overburdened or a client who feels neglected? The discussion begins with Sarah explaining why she's had to reestablish boundaries with some clients who were texting and calling her employees after hours and bypassing the systems her agency has put in place. Sarah wants her team to be able to disconnect at the end of the day, and she wants clients communicating with the entire team assigned to their account—not developing overly close relationships with individual employees. In her view, protecting employees from burnout ultimately leads to better service for clients.Jaci approaches the challenge very differently. Her creative staff rarely communicate directly with clients. Instead, account managers serve as the sole point of contact, much like restaurant servers relaying orders between diners and the kitchen. The goal is to protect specialists from interruptions, keep them focused on their work, and ensure that client communication remains clear and consistent. The result is a lively conversation about competing priorities, client expectations, employee well-being, and the hidden risks that can emerge when clients become too dependent on individual employees. Plus: Have you ever had an employee leave and take clients with them?

    In this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into one of the most debated topics in entrepreneurship: work-life balance. Inspired by comments from Poppy co-founder Allison Ellsworth about the sacrifices required to build a billion-dollar company, Travis breaks down why success looks different for everyone and why blindly following someone else's blueprint can lead to regret. This episode explores how entrepreneurs can align their priorities with their personal goals while still building meaningful wealth and freedom. On this episode we talk about: Whether building a billion-dollar company requires sacrificing work-life balance The difference between lifestyle businesses and venture-scale companies How to define success based on your personal goals instead of someone else's Why entrepreneurs should prioritize their time according to seasons of life Balancing business growth, family relationships, and personal health Top 3 Takeaways Your definition of success determines how you should structure your business and life. Not everyone wants—or needs—to build a billion-dollar company. Priorities should be aligned with your current season of life, but neglecting health or family completely often leads to long-term regret. Entrepreneurship should create freedom, not become a more demanding version of a traditional job unless that's intentionally part of your goal. Notable Quotes "You can't have three things that are equally number one priorities. That's not how a number one priority works." "Ruthlessly prioritize against your goal."

    Ep 340: Teacher Work Life Balance Without Giving Up Your Summer

    On Your Prep Podcast

    Ever wrestled with teacher work life balance without giving up your summer? If the answer is yes (or a tired, edgy laugh), you're in the right place. This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast is for every middle and high school teacher who wants to show up to both the classroom and their real life—not just survive, but truly enjoy both.Host Khristen Massic kicks things off by laying bare the hard truth: if your planning system has you locked in teacher mode 24/7, the so-called “balance” is basically a myth. She shares a raw story about waiting years to have kids, only to find that those longed-for bedtime moments with them were constantly interrupted by thoughts of half-finished lesson plans and the eternal pile of grading. That's not the vision most of us sign up for—but it's devastatingly common.Here's the thing that's rarely acknowledged: for secondary teachers, especially the ones juggling multiple preps or building curriculum from scratch, the planning never takes a break. Your brain's stuck on overdrive because there's always something left to do, and there's no off switch when the system is broken. Forget about boundaries for a second—if your lessons require hours of fresh creativity every night, all the teacher tips in the world won't save you from burnout.Khristen cuts through the noise about “just set better boundaries” or “hack your productivity.” None of that actually fixes the root cause for most secondary teachers. She spells it out: it's the lack of consistent, repeatable planning structures that has you grading during the day, planning at midnight, and resenting bedtime stories. It's not you. It's the system.But what does the better way look like? Khristen gets practical. For her, the real turning point was building repeatable lesson frameworks—and ditching that endless search for yet another new idea. Suddenly, planning became lighter. Lesson planning stopped demanding every drop of her creative energy after sundown. She could finally be present for her kids, not just physically, but with her whole mind.If you've ever felt that tension—the guilt trip when summer's here and you're either doing nothing (and panicking in August) or filling your whole break with unpaid curriculum labor—you're not alone. Khristen speaks directly to multi-prep and elective teachers, pointing out that summer shouldn't mean endless, unpaid work. Instead, you need a foundation: one solid unit, one repeatable lesson shape, one organizational system that holds steady year-round.She draws a clear line: you do not have to earn a restful summer by doing everything ahead of time. What matters is building smart systems now so the rest of the year is manageable. Strategic, not exhaustive, planning wins—especially for teachers who have families to show up for, lives outside of school, or just want a summer afternoon off the clock.Here's what's possible: imagine walking into September not in survival mode, but calm and ready. You know your first unit. You've got a lesson structure to adapt, not a blank page. Your system works for you instead of forcing you to keep everything in your head. That changes what your evenings, weekends, and summers look like. (And no, you don't have to martyr yourself to get there.)This episode is for any secondary teacher who has ever felt the invisible weight of being everything to everyone, everywhere—including themselves. It's for those who build courses from scratch, balance multiple preparations, and have real lives and real people waiting for them after 3 p.m. It's a reality check with heart, packed with a call to shift from scattered, one-off planning to sustainable, life-giving routines.Ready to claim a teaching life that makes room for your actual life, too? Host Khristen Massic gives you permission—and a plan—to stop letting broken planning systems rob you of your best moments. Start with a foundation. Build repeatable classroom routines. Walk into the year lighter. Because balance isn't about doing more; it's about finally doing less—and doing it better.Break the cycle. Finish something that makes tomorrow lighter. School's out—let's keep it that way when you walk through your own front door.Too many preps and not enough time? Let's make your planning period actually work for you.Reserve your spot in the Unit Planning Lab here: https://khristenmassic.thrivecart.com/unit/?ref=podcast Planning for the next school year?

    You've been sold a myth about work-life balance.The Myth: Balance is a perfect state where every part of life, work, family, and self-care all get equal time and energy, every single day.The Reality: That's an impossible standard. On the podcast this week, I talk about how true balance isn't about perfect equality, but about continuous adjustment. It's recognizing that some weeks my career will demand more, while other weeks my family needs me most. Embracing this unevenness without guilt is the first step to avoiding burnout. It means you're not failing; you're adapting to the real, fluctuating rhythm of life.Listen now!

    The Daily Boost | Coaching You Need. Success You Deserve.

    You ever feel like your work bleeds into your life and your life bleeds into your work, and somehow you're never fully off the clock? I hear it constantly. Today I'll tell you something most coaches won't. There's no such thing as work-life balance. It ebbs and flows, and you'll chase it forever if you try to hold it still. But there is a delineation hiding inside this whole thing — and once you see it, your weekends actually feel like weekends again and your Sunday nights stop feeling like Monday morning. Hit play. We're splitting this thing in two. Featured Story On a call this week, a client told me her work and her personal life were one and the same. She runs a lifestyle business, hangs out with her friends in the community, and sometimes those friends become customers. To her, it all blurred into one happy thing. I said no. No, no, no. Forty minutes of stories and metaphors, trying to crack open something she couldn't see yet. Probably 10 metaphors. Way too much overcoaching, even for me. But she finally got there. And the moment she did, the whole thing came apart in a way I had never explained to anyone before. Important Points Stop trying to balance work and life. Balance ebbs and flows by the hour, and chasing it keeps you frustrated all day. There's a real difference between you taking care of yourself and you working — call it what it is to stop the bleed. Treat your job like a shift. Show up, do the work, then walk out — and let your personal time actually be personal. Memorable Quotes I treat my job as a shift. I walk in, put the work hat on, get it done — and when I say I'm done, I walk out the door. I know I have to take care of myself first. There is you who takes care of you, and then there's you with everyone else. There is no balance between work and life. It just ebbs and flows all the time. You never know where it's going to be. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, split your time into four buckets: you alone, you with others, your work shift, and your work for yourself. Next, treat your job like a shift — show up, work the hours you set, then walk out and let your time be yours. Then protect the personal buckets — the gym, the planning, the play — and watch the Sunday-night dread disappear. Chapters 0:02 - The work-life balance question everyone asks 0:36 - Why planning on Thursday saves your weekend 2:00 - The client's call that started a 40-minute story 5:06 - How to treat your job like a working shift 6:27 - The 35-minute Claude app that wasn't working 7:38 - Splitting you, you with others, and your shift 9:11 - No balance exists — only a real delineation to find Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify If you enjoy the Daily Boost, you might like Notes From Scott.

Or is it the other way around? Caring for a baby (or toddler) can make work extra challenging....  Either way you put it, I would argue that practicing Elimination Communication can actually make your working and caretaking struggles easier. Less time-consuming poopy diapers to deal with, a happier baby, quick and easy diaper changes, and early potty independence, among other benefits. But, it's quite the balancing act, trying to figure out how to practically insert it into your work day, especially if you're just getting started. Here are a few things I've learned from practicing EC while working full time (as a virtual teacher) from home.....starting during the newborn stage, to a crawling baby, and now entering early toddlerhood.

    Most of us assume data-driven people make data-driven decisions. Not quite. Adam Grant has built a career helping others think more clearly — but when it comes to his own career, the most important calls he's made didn't have clear data behind them. So how did he decide? In this first episode of WorkLife with Molly Graham, Adam joins Molly to talk about how he actually navigates uncertainty — the four questions he asks before committing to any big project, what he calls “deliberate then dive”, and how he measures success when the numbers don't tell the whole story.Featured guestFollow Adam on Instagram, LinkedIn, and at adamgrant.net/Subscribe to Adam's substackConnect with the teamFollow Molly on Instagram, LinkedIn, and at glueclub.com/Subscribe to Molly's Substack LessonWatch WorkLife videos on YouTube at TEDAudioCollectiveFollow TED on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTokLearn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

    Success in your career looks different for everyone — but no matter your industry, you'll need to take risks. Company and community builder Molly Graham took to the TED stage two years ago to share three key skills to learn before jumping off a metaphorical cliff, outlining a path off the corporate ladder and into true professional and personal growth -- and these key skills are more relevant today than ever.Today, Molly has returned to TED as the new host of the podcast, WorkLife. WorkLife is a show where Molly and her expert guests talk through the messy feelings we all experience at work—conversations that delve into our ambitions and failures. Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, caught up with Molly to look back at her talk and how those ideas continue to evolve in today's world. They discuss the importance of embracing the emotional side of work, how to tell the difference between good fear and bad fear, aging, why so many successful things feel messier than we think they're supposed to, and so much more. Listen to WorkLife with Molly Graham wherever you get your podcasts. Molly's talk originally aired in 2024. Elise and Molly's conversation was recorded in April 2026.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.
