In this episode of Wave Work Stress Goodbye, we explore one of the hardest but most freeing insights around workplace stress, toxic colleagues, office anxiety and difficult people at work.

What if the stress we feel around certain coworkers isn’t actually coming from them?

For years I believed toxic work colleagues were the direct cause of my frustration, anxiety and negative moods at work. But the deeper I looked, the more I began to realise something uncomfortable but incredibly powerful:

Different people can experience the exact same person completely differently.

One employee thinks a colleague is supportive and funny.
Another thinks they’re arrogant, rude and impossible to work with.

So where is the stressful experience really coming from?

In this episode, I share the inside-out understanding behind workplace stress, overthinking and emotional resilience — and why seeing the role of thought can completely transform how we experience difficult coworkers, office politics and stressful work environments.

If you struggle with:

• toxic coworkers
• workplace anxiety
• office stress
• difficult managers
• overthinking at work
• emotional exhaustion
• corporate burnout
• negative work environments

…this conversation may completely change how you see your experience.
