We had a lot more to say to Rosemary about recovery and how to get your mojo back at work.

And we're going to say all of it on this episode, which feels like the perfect way to help prepare our listeners for a proper summer season of rest and renewal.

I love it.

I love it so much.

Welcome to Fixable, a podcast from TED.

I'm your host, Anne Morris.

I'm a company builder and leadership coach.

This is a show where we believe meaningful change happens fast, with some intentional rest and recovery along the way.

There is a reason a week is followed by a weekend.

Exactly.

Today on the show, we're going to give unsolicited advice

to anyone who is feeling stuck at work right now, both overwhelmed and under-inspired.

We're going to tackle both parts, how to get unstuck, but also how to create an experience of work that is worthy of you and your short time on this planet.

Oh, I love your ambition.

I want us to deal with the deficit of life force, the burnout part, the part of work that feels literally unsustainable.

And then I want to talk about how you replace that mediocrity with something else, something bigger that may even create a surplus of energy.

If we're making this equation work, we want to dial down the negative parts, but we also have to dial up the positive ones.

How does that sound as a plan?

So we sometimes call this state, this experience of work, exhausted mediocrity.

And when we say that, it really hits some people hard.
