A precedent of overworking yourself and only resting when you hit burnout in order to work even more has been set in the workplace and it has to change.

In this episode, we are joined by the award-winning educator and social scientist, Dr. Courtney McCluney to hear about her research in codeswitching and how she has found freedom in wellness and reimagining how we should work through her company, Equiwell Partners Group.
