I’ve been thinking about those mornings when the alarm goes off, and you already feel buried before you’ve even had a sip of coffee. When you are carrying a heavy mental load, your job often feels like just another lane where you are constantly trying to catch up, and it leaves your brain feeling completely fried. We are living through a workplace wellbeing crisis that is impacting our health, and quite honestly, it can make you feel paralyzed by the weight of it all.

But I truly believe that joy and well-being can coexist, even in the middle of a busy career. I created this workbook, 50 Ideas to Create More Joy at Work, not as another list of "hacks" to make you more productive, but as a collection of support systems designed to hold you.

Inside, you’ll find 50 science-backed, relational moves—like starting a "You Survived" award for your team or simply moving your next meeting outside—that are designed to relax a tired, burned-out, or executive-functioning brain. It is about making your space your own and finding small, meaningful ways to unhook from the drain.

I’m Sarah, and I’m here to help you simplify the mental load so you can stop just surviving your day.
