[327] - The Quiet Cost of Frontline Work No One Talks About

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We call out the quiet signs that shift work is changing you, from short fuse to numbness, and lay out simple, science-backed steps to get you back to steady. Sleep, light, movement, food, boundaries, and connection form the plan you can start today.

• Year-end reality check on frontline stress
• Subtle warning signs across sleep, mood, patience
• Why distraction and busyness can mask depression
• The three-question self-audit to get honest
• Light diet basics for circadian and mental health
• Simple daily movement that beats friction
• Green time for a calmer nervous system
• Food choices that stabilise energy on shifts
• Boundaries to reduce noise before and after work
• Support, accountability, and when to get help

There’s a link in the show notes, book that appointment, and I’ll talk to you on the next one.
