In this second part of a two-part conversation, I continue speaking with Alina Meyer-Riad about the psychology behind work addiction.โฃ

โฃ

If Part 1 focused on recognising the pattern, Part 2 explores where these patterns may come from and what recovery can begin to look like.โฃ

โฃ

We talk about perfectionism, people pleasing, fear of failure, early conditioning, support, resilience, and some of the practical ways people can begin creating healthier boundaries around work.โฃ

โฃ

This episode may resonate with professionals, founders, burnout survivors, and anyone trying to build a healthier relationship with work without shame or self-blame.โฃ
