Feeling stuck or overwhelmed at work? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Leah Weiss, a researcher, professor, consultant, and author, to chat about how mindfulness can revolutionize your work experience. Leah’s upcoming book, 'How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity and Embrace the Daily Grind', dives deep into bringing mindfulness into the workplace.
Whether you love or loathe your job, Leah's insights can help elevate your daily grind into something more meaningful. She talks about the power of paying attention to our work experiences, even when they're less than thrilling.
