Episode 30: In Pursuit of Optimization, We Lost the Plot
In this episode, Kyra takes a playful but pointed look at optimization culture — the Oura rings, the 4am wake-ups, the biohacking routines, and the growing pressure to engineer every corner of our lives for peak performance. Drawing on social media musings, the Global Wellness Institute's 2026 trends report, and a global look at cultures that have been doing "slow" on purpose for centuries, Kyra gets into what we’re actually optimizing for. The episode ends with three ways to use the data without losing the joy that made us want to feel good in the first place.

Episode 29: Is It Burnout Or Something Else Entirely?
In this episode, Kyra dives into burnout. Drawing on a recent Fast Company piece by burnout prevention consultant Sally Clarke (We don’t have a burnout epidemic. We have a burnout buzzword problem), she unpacks why the word "burnout" has become so overused that it's actually making it harder for people to get the right support. She walks through the World Health Organization’s clinical definition, takes a global look at how different cultures name and experience extreme workplace strain, and offers a vocabulary for the many shades of strain that fall short of (but still deserve!) serious attention. The episode closes with a self-assessment to help listeners figure out where they actually are and what they actually need when it comes to their own possible burnout.

Episode 28: The Manager in the Middle - What the Data Says About the People Holding It All Together
In this episode, Kyra zooms in on one of the most striking — and most human — findings from Gallup's 2026 State of the Global Workplace Report: the global manager crisis. Manager engagement has dropped more steeply than any other group over the past three years, and the people most responsible for holding teams together are running on empty. Drawing from her own experience leading a manager and leadership program in tech, Kyra unpacks what the data is actually telling us about the seemingly impossible job managers have been handed, who is feeling it most, and why this looks different depending on where you are in the world. From Scandinavian servant leadership to Japan's Kaizen model to Germany's codetermination system, other cultures have built something different. And it's working. Kyra closes with concrete things organizations can do to actually support the people holding everything together. This is Part Two of a two-part series, so, if you haven't listened to Episode 27 yet, start there!
