    S4 Ep4: Burn Like Stars: The end of burnout
    Dec 12 2023
    We can't think of a better way to draw our series on burnout to a conclusion by talking to Jonathan Malesic - he literally wrote the book on how to end burnout. 'The End of Burnout' was an Amazon best book in 2022 and is being translated into 9 languages - this is an episode many people need to hear!

    • The gap between our expectation of work, and the reality – cause it’s in the gap that the trouble happens!
    • How Christian theology is both a cause and cure of burnout.
    • How to working well is about remembering what it means to be human.
    • The spiritual discipline of 'getting over it'.

  • S4 Ep3: Burn Like Stars - Day Crafting

    S4 Ep3: Burn Like Stars - Day Crafting
    Nov 10 2023
    What if every day ended with a sense of satisfaction and contentment, whatever our circumstances? Could Day Crafting be a culture changing antidote to burn out? Gillian Straine explores these possibilities and more with our guest, the brilliant Bruce Stanley.  

    Bruce Stanley has a long history of creative endeavours. He is currently the Innovation and Product Lead for HeartEdge. In his 20s, he ran away from the circus to get involved in even more creative things – he is a specialist in positive psychology, design and innovation and personal and spiritual development. Ten years ago, he pioneered the Forest Church movement. These days, he is focused on a new methodology called Day Crafting. He's written five workbooks on the topic and is training NHS workers in the UK, circus performers in Sweden and busy leaders in organisations in the US, Canada and Australia. He is usually found with his wife Sara somewhere on a beautiful hill farm in the Cambrian mountains, where they're growing a permaculture forest garden and blending their own wild and herbal teas to sell to locavores. 
      
    Gillian explores a number of questions and themes with Bruce including: 
    What is Day Crafting? 
    What problems does Day Crafting address, and what doesn’t it address?  
    The potential and meaning of ‘Crafting’ in the title? 
    What is the neuroscience behind it all? 
    Does Day Crafting help prevent / recovery from burn out? 
    Is Day Crafting only valuable at the individual level or does it influence community life as well? 
    Can Day Crafting heal the world?
