Creating a G.R.E.A.T Life - Combating Work-Related Stress and Burnout with Madeline Weiss

Did you know that work-related stress causes 120,000 deaths per year in the U.S.? 65% of professionals classify their work as being a very significant or somewhat significant source of stress, and 54% of workers surveyed admit that work stress impacts their home life.

As we say goodbye to April, Stress Awareness Month, and enter May, Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to take a deep dive into work-related stress and its impact on health and wellbeing. Host, Susan Greeley had the chance to sit down with Madelaine Claire Weiss, author of Getting to G.R.E.A.T: 5-Step Strategy for Work and Life. Together they uncovered actionable steps to help busy individuals combat stress and burnout while transforming their lives from the inside out.

Susan and Madeline covered topics of burnout across professions and among healthcare providers, work-life equality, and Madelaine’s pioneering 5-step strategy for balancing work and life based on science and stories.
