Severance in Real Life (without the side effects)


Listen Later

Can't leave work stress at the office? This episode explores why compartmentalizing isn't working for you.

Inspired by Apple TV's hit show "Severance," Alex dives into why our attempts to separate our work and personal lives often backfire. Learn how your brain naturally resists compartmentalization and why integration, not separation, might be the key to better mental health.

In this episode of The Humane Sapiens, we talk about:

* The science behind why your brain can't truly "switch off" work mode

* How unprocessed work stress manifests in your home life

* A practical 5-minute post-work meditation to create healthy transitions

* Why consciousness craves wholeness, not separation

Whether you're battling Sunday night anxiety or carrying emotional baggage from passive-aggressive emails, this episode offers a mindfulness approach that works with your brain's natural tendencies instead of against them.

Perfect for fans of "Severance," workplace wellness enthusiasts, and anyone who's ever wished they could surgically separate their work and home lives (spoiler: there's a better way!).
