Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We shine a light on the quiet creep of dysfunction in shift work and how easily poor sleep, stress, and compassion fatigue become the “new normal.” We share lived experience, biological facts, and simple steps to set boundaries, protect sleep, and feel seen.

• toxic leadership and why feeling seen matters
• why “common” is not “normal” in sleep, stress, and mood
• slow creep from fatigue to gut issues to anhedonia
• compassion fatigue explained and early signs
• hypervigilance and perception traps outside work
• fake friendships and the value of distance
• practical boundaries for sleep, food, movement
• listening to partners and honest self‑checks
• questions to spot what you have normalised

Please share this podcast with someone who needs to feel seen. If you’re on Spotify or Apple, leave a rating and a short review. Pass it on, pay it forward
