This week’s episode and article were inspired by something I noticed in myself recently. I’ve just returned home after spending a couple of months abroad for work, living in a different environment and without my usual routines, including my normal gym routine....

Even the most experienced, successful professionals can start to feel a little shaky during a job search. And it’s not because they’re not capable, it’s because searching for work, especially when under pressure, taps into some of the most primal fears we hold...
