Writer and podcaster Jessie Stephens is learning how to switch off
About this episode
If you’ve been anywhere near the internet in the last few years, you’ve almost definitely come across something made by Jessie Stephens. If you’re a podcast junkie, you’ll have heard her on Mamamia Out Loud, or Cancelled. If you’re more of a reader, you’ll find Jessie writing articles about everything from Married At First Sight to the proliferation of gambling ads for Mamamia, for whom she’s also the Executive Editor.
Oh, and she’s now a best-selling author, having released her debut book, Heartsick, in 2021.
In other words, Jessie clearly knows how to get a lot done. But she’s learning that her extreme productivity can’t last forever, and right now she’s focused on finding effective ways to recover and recharge, so that whenever she’s working, she’s at her absolute best.
Connect with Jessie on Instagram, pick up a copy of Heartsick, or listen to Mamamia Out Loud
