Is work a part of your life that promotes strong wellbeing, or is it perhaps a big contributor to you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and even burnt out? I’m joined today by Marilyne Whitty, a career wellness coach, to discuss the critical connection between work and wellness. Marilyne shares her journey of overcoming health challenges linked to her career, emphasising the importance of movement and self-care. Work is often a huge part of our lives, so it’s important to recognise its impact on our overall health and happiness and consider how our lifestyle and habits can also help us perform better at work. We explore the impact of workplace culture on individual health, the necessity for employees to advocate for their wellbeing, and practical steps to initiate a wellness journey. In our conversation today we talk about: Why finding a balance between work and wellness is crucial. How your health impacts all areas of life, including work. The rising cases of burnout and stress we’re seeing in women that lead to significant health issues. The role of movement as a key component of health and wellbeing. How recognising the need for change is the first step. How individuals must take personal responsibility for their health. The vital role of employers in supporting employee wellness. Why it’s important to have open conversations about wellness in the workplace. The need for community support in creating sustainable health habits.
