Pleasure or Contentment? What Does Happiness Truly Mean - with Declan Edwards PT.1

Feeling overwhelmed at work? You’re not alone - and it might not be a “you” problem.

In this episode of Well, Hello Anxiety, Dr Jodi Richardson is joined by organisational psychologist Dr Kat Page, author of Good Work, to explore how our workplaces can shape our mental health - for better or worse.

Together they unpack why anxiety and stress at work are often a natural response to demanding environments, not a personal weakness. From constant interruptions and heavy workloads to a lack of control or recovery time, Dr Kat explains how modern work can keep our nervous systems stuck in “stress mode.”

But there is hope.

In Part 1 of this conversation, you’ll learn:
• Why anxiety at work is often a normal biological response, not a failure
• How high demands and low control can lead to burnout and job strain
• The powerful concept of “punctuating your day” with small pauses to reset your nervous system
• Why the way you spend your time after work can make a huge difference to your recovery

If you’ve ever felt stretched between work, family, and life admin - this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and give you practical ways to support your wellbeing.

🎧 Plus: This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation with Dr Kat Page... stay tuned for Part 2 next week.

Why Work Makes Us Anxious - And What Can Actually Help, with Dr Kat Page (Part 1)

Parenting can be one of the most meaningful – and most challenging – roles we’ll ever have. But what if the key to raising emotionally healthy children isn’t about fixing our kids… but about understanding ourselves?

In this powerful conversation, Dr Jodi Richardson sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist and bestselling author Dr Shefali, often described as Oprah Winfrey’s favourite parenting expert and the pioneer of the Conscious Parenting movement.

Dr Shefali shares how traditional parenting models rooted in control, fear, and perfectionism can unintentionally disconnect us from our children – and how a conscious parenting approach can transform not only our relationships with our kids, but also our relationship with ourselves.

Together, Jodi and Dr Shefali explore:

Why parenting is not a talent but a skill we cultivate

How our children can become mirrors for our own healing

The hidden pressure parents place on themselves to be “perfect”

Why awareness and presence are the first steps to conscious parenting

How to repair after conflict and strengthen connection

Why the most important work of parenting is actually raising our own inner child

If you’ve ever felt guilt, overwhelm, or the pressure to get parenting “right”, this episode is a powerful reminder that perfection isn’t the goal – growth and awareness are.

Dr Shefali will also be visiting Australia for two special live events where she’ll dive deeper into conscious parenting and how it can transform families for generations.
