Reset and Reimagine Work and Life
While some of us can’t wait to launch headlong into a new year (all that opportunity and promise!), I think the opposite is also true for many of us. And often, we feel both of these things at the same time.
How can we feel excited about starting something new when we didn’t finish—or even start—the thing we really wanted to last year?
It’s hard to feel energised when we’re burned out at work, unsure about our relationships or the general direction of our career and life, drowning in an inbox that’s now in four figures, and have no real reason to believe that a new year is going to make any difference to any of this.
And any time we allow ourselves to think about making a change in just one of these areas, we find ourselves immediately rationalising that the switching cost is just too high.
That bonus cheque means we get ten days of vacation in very Instagram-worthy places each year. That makes the other 355 days of mediocrity worth it, right?
And then—how can I possibly go through decades more of feeling unfulfilled and unseen in this relationship or job? But I don’t hate them/it, and hey, it could be much worse, right?
This is where Rethink: The Reset comes in. You can start your year with intention, with stories, evidence-backed ideas, questions to ponder, actionable steps, trends and insights, recommendations on things to read, watch, and try, and a few products I love that might help make work and life more beautiful along the way.

Does Long Service Leave Still Matter?
I joined ABC Radio National Life Matters this week to talk about why long service leave and sabbaticals matter and why our burnout rates indicate we should all be switching off more. Listen here.
