How Technology Fuels Stress & Burnout (and What to Do About It)  On the Hello Velocity podcast, host Brittany Canaski continues the stress and burnout conversation by doing a deep dive into how technology increases anxiety for corporate women, focusing on three areas: being constantly accessible,overwhelming workplace communication channels, and social media. She explains how nonstop notifications and always being “on” pull attention from the present moment and encourages setting tech boundaries. At work, she recommends defining what “urgent” actually means, communicating preferred channels, and limiting email and chat interruptions during meetings or focus time. For social media, she challenges listeners to compare what they want from it versus what theyget, and suggests limiting, moving, or deleting apps and replacing scrolling with screen-free, hands-on activities. Key takeaways:✅ When you're always accessible, you're allowing other people to control your time, attention, and energy.✅ Clear boundaries with work communications can allow you to be more productive when you're focused and reduce stress by removing the constant sense of (usually false) urgency.✅ Reducing social media helped me reduce my anxiety and burnout, and now I feel more connected with friends and have more hands-on hobbies.----------------------------------------------------------------⏱️ What we covered in this video:00:00 Tech Stress Overview 01:34 Always On Anxiety 03:16 Bedtime Phone Boundaries 04:45 Notification Detox 07:22 Focus Tools And Tricks 09:19 Work Communication Overload 11:54 Social Media Reality Check 15:01 Break The Scroll Habit 16:03 Analog Hobbies And Bags 19:24 Commit To One Change-----------------------------------------------------------------Resources mentioned:Opal App to limit screen time: https://opalapp.com/Brick to limit screen time: https://getbrick.com/-----------------------------------------------------------------🤩 Ready to upgrade your leadership toolkit?Subscribe to the Hello Velocity Newsletter: https://www.hellovelocity.co/newsletter-------------------------------------------------------------------🙋🏻‍♀️ About the host, Brittany CanaskiBrittany Canaski is a highly-rated leadership coach and trainer who helps leaders build the skills and confidence they need to be their best. Within her own business, Hello Velocity, Brittany provides coaching, trainings, and events to help teams and individualsbetter understand their performance habits so that they can work smarter, not harder to get where they want to be.

Stress, Posture & Desk Work: Simple Somatic Techniques to Reduce Tension and Burnout  Host Brittany Canaski interviews Workstation Wellness Consultant Anne Asher about how stress and long hours at a desk affect physical wellbeing and contribute to burnout.Anne shares her background in movement and chronic pain work and explains why good equipment helps but movement and body awareness are essential. She gives practical desk-alignment guidance and emphasizes gentle habit-building over“perfect posture.” Anne leads two subtle techniques for desk workers: a slow, relaxed “hissing” exhale to calm the nervous system and an ear-finger cue with a small nod to reset head/neck alignment. She also recommends frequent shortmovement breaks to support energy, focus, and long-term health.Key takeaways:✅ When we 'park' our bodies for 8 hours a day while working, we're not listening to what our body needs.✅ Posture alignment is more than just having the right desk or chair, you need to consider your sitting bones, balanced weight, feet flat, supportive lumbar support, monitor at eye level, arms and elbows positioned comfortably, and separate your laptop screen from keyboard.✅ Instead of trying to have 'perfect' posture all the time, start with small 10 second reminders and wins throughout the day.-----------------------------------------------------------------⏱️ What we covered in this video: 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:04 Anne’s Wellness Journey 04:32 Stress Burnout and Movement 09:37 Checking In With Your Body 12:12 Desk Alignment Basics 18:47 Upper Body Setup Tips 23:49 Common Tension Hotspots 26:48 Gentle Posture Rewiring 27:39 Hissing Breath Demo 32:37 Make It Work Anywhere 34:35 Movement Breaks Matter 38:53 Brittany's Couch Work Cautionary Tale 42:12 Posture And Productivity 45:14 Head and Neck Reset Demo48:18 Build Daily Check Ins 50:07 Resources And Wrap Up----------------------------------------👋 Connect with Anne:Download the free e-book: Pain Free @ the Desk in 5Minutes  https://posturally.com/f/painfree-desk-5Posture Scan for Desk Workers:   https://posturally.com/courses/posture-scan Connect with Anne on LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/anneasher/-------------------------------------------🤩 Ready to upgrade your leadership toolkit?Subscribe to the Hello Velocity Newsletter: https://www.hellovelocity.co/newsletter--------------------------------------------🙋🏻‍♀️ About the host, Brittany CanaskiBrittany Canaski is a highly-rated leadership coach and trainer who helps leaders build the skills and confidence they need to be their best. Within her own business, Hello Velocity, Brittany provides coaching, trainings, and events to help teams and individualsbetter understand their performance habits so that they can work smarter, not harder to get where they want to be.

Caregiver Stress & Burnout: Survival Mode, Setting Boundaries, and Finding Support  Host Brittany Canaski interviews Tessa Shahid about stress and burnout in caregiving. Tessa shares why she created the Between Now and Next Substack and podcast after years of supporting others and experiencing isolation as a caregiver. Shedescribes caregiving as more than full-time direct care - ranging from emotional support to helping friends or family through recovery. They discuss burnout drivers like always being “on,” lack of control and boundaries, emotional strain, limited resources, and losing oneself.  They share ideas for workplace support like therapy benefits, ERGs, talking with your manager, and FMLA, noting companies often do not do enough. Key takeaways:✅ Caregiving is providing direct care to someone who is unable to do it for themselves and/or feeling the emotional weight of caring for that person.✅ Caregiving is not one-size fits all - it can range from supporting someone short-term while recovering from surgery, supporting someone with special needs, emotionally caring for a relative that lives across the country, or having an aging relative move in with you.✅ Caregivers need to be especially mindful of burnout by re-evaluating all of their commitments, being open with others about their situation, and having boundaries where they can during this season.-----------------------------------------------------------------⏱️ What we covered in this video:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:08 Why Tessa Started Her Podcast for Caregivers04:26 Defining Caregiving Roles 08:26 Caregiving vs Parenting 12:10 Milestones and Decline 13:49 Tessa's Caregiving Story 16:15 Burnout Risk Factors Begin 17:28 Care Team Support 18:46 Always On Causes Burnout 19:25 Control And Boundaries 20:39 Emotional Weight Of Caregiving 21:46 Losing Yourself 26:29 Survival Mode Reality 29:53 Workplace Support Options 33:40 Closing And Where To Follow---------------------------------------------------------👋 Connect with Tessa:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessashahid/Between Now and Next on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZidsbezljFEtgWe9ICtqSBetween Now and Next on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/between-now-and-next-podcast/id1830005916Substack: https://betweennowandnext.substack.com/-----------------------------------------------------------------🤩 Ready to upgrade your leadership toolkit?Subscribe to the Hello Velocity Newsletter: https://www.hellovelocity.co/newsletter-------------------------------------------------------------------🙋🏻‍♀️ About BrittanyBrittany Canaski is a highly-rated leadership coach and trainer who helps leaders build the skills and confidence they need to be their best. Within her own business, Hello Velocity, Brittany provides coaching, trainings, and events to help teams and individualsbetter understand their performance habits so that they can work smarter, not harder to get where they want to be.

Burnout, Boundaries & Community: A Crossover Chat with the Women in Tech Trailblazers Podcast Hello Velocity host and leadership coach Brittany Canaski joins Tiffany Benitez of Women in Tech Trailblazers for a crossover conversation on women in leadership navigating burnout and the “messy behind-the-scenes” reality. Brittany shares how burnout surprised her as a business owner and describes supports that helped: therapy, limiting social media, and limiting news consumption. Tiffany discusses recognizing her own burnout indicators, evaluating commitments, and usingjournaling and priority-setting to say no more often. They also challenge narrow definitions of “women in tech,” arguing many roles and daily tools make people part of tech, and emphasize the power of community, mentorship, and a personal “board of directors.” Key takeaways:✅ Burnout can sneak up on you, even in a role or position that you love.✅ Women are often quicker to question their skills than to name them with confidence.✅ Finding your community and leaning on them for support will help fill your cup along the way.----------------------------------------------⏱️ What we covered in this video: 00:00 Welcome and Crossover02:30 Meet Tiffany and Brittany05:17 Brittany's Burnout Story10:44 Tools to Recover14:37 Therapy and Boundaries16:07 Tiffany's Burnout Signals20:41 Redefining Women in Tech27:55 Own Your Skills29:47 Community Heals Growth35:26 Build Your Personal Board37:51 Women Who Shaped Us40:38 Carry It Forward------------------------------------------👋 Connect with Tiffany:LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-benitez-csm-safe-itil-65ba64126/Follower her podcast Women in Tech Trailblazers:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-tech-trailblazers-authenticity-unleashed--------------------------------------------🤩 Ready to upgrade your leadership toolkit?Subscribe to the Hello Velocity Newsletter: https://www.hellovelocity.co/newsletter---------------------------------------🙋🏻‍♀️ About BrittanyBrittany Canaski is a highly-rated leadership coach and trainer who helps leaders build the skills and confidence they need to be their best. Within her own business, Hello Velocity, Brittany provides coaching, trainings, and events to help teams and individualsbetter understand their performance habits so that they can work smarter, not harder to get where they want to be.

In today's episode we welcome psychotherapist and corporate mental wellness consultant Leah Marone to discuss stress, anxiety, burnout, and “serial fixing.” Leah explains how high-functioning women often operate two to three steps ahead, taking ownership of others’ problems, fueling anxious thoughts and burnout. She introduces her “support, don’t solve” framework, encouraging data collection, pausing, and validation instead of immediate fixing. Listen in to learn more about the three serial fixer types: the doormat, the saint, and the steamroller. Which one do you identify with?Key takeaways:✅ When we're fixing other people's problems forthem, we think it's coming from compassion but a lot of times it's actually about control.✅ Burnout can be caused by these daily negotiations we make with our inner critic who might be afraid other people don't like us or won't need us.✅ A 'support, don't solve' mindset is more helpful for both you and the other person involved so they take ownership over the problem and so you don't create co-dependencies. ---------------------------------------------------------⏱️ What we covered in this video:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:13 Leah’s Journey and Reps Mindset 03:16 Stress vs Anxiety Explained 07:49 Cold vs Allergies Analogy 09:44 Women and Serial Fixing Patterns 12:42 Support Don’t Solve Framework 17:03 Boundaries and Ownership at Work 18:19 Defining Burnout and Early Signs 22:42 Burnout as Negotiation 23:57 Energy Shutdown Signals 24:37 Micro Decisions Burnout 28:05 Serial Fixer Defined 29:49 Roots of Overhelping 32:41 Compassion or Control 33:53 Three Fixer Types 38:14 Closing and Connect-----------------------------------👋 Connect with Leah: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leahmaronelcsw/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leahmaronelcsw/Website: https://www.leahmarone.com/Serial Fixer book: https://www.serial-fixer.com/ --------------------------------------------------🤩 Ready to upgrade your leadership toolkit?Subscribe to the Hello Velocity Newsletter: https://www.hellovelocity.co/newsletter-------------------------------------------------------------------🙋🏻‍♀️ About BrittanyBrittany Canaski is a highly-rated leadership coach and trainer who helps leaders build the skills and confidence they need to be their best. Within her own business, Hello Velocity, Brittany provides coaching, trainings, and events to help teams and individualsbetter understand their performance habits so that they can work smarter, not harder to get where they want to be.
