Today’s episode is the second of two in which Tom Hodson plays the role of host and talks with Beverly Jones about her new book, Find Your Happy at Work. Tom and Bev agree that you can’t flourish in your work life if you aren’t well, and that self-care is a foundation of career success. Bev suggests you focus on four realms of your well-being: body, brain, emotions and spirit. The starting point is whichever realm is easiest for you to address – the four are interconnected, and improving one impacts everything. They discuss easy ways to trigger a big shift, like cultivating kindness and gratitude, taking breaks from work, and taking small steps to inspire bigger ones.
