This is a bonus audio version of a recent YouTube episode exploring work stress and anxiety from a deeper perspective.

In this conversation, I look at why work itself isn’t actually the source of stress, pressure, or anxiety — even though it often feels that way — and what’s really creating our moment-to-moment experience at work. Rather than offering strategies or techniques, this episode points to a simpler understanding of how experience is formed from the inside out.

If you’re someone who feels driven, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of overthinking at work, this episode may offer a sense of clarity and relief — without needing to change your job, fix yourself, or manage your thinking.

In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Winslow, a personal coach for teens and parents, for an honest conversation about work stress, parenting pressure, and where our experience of life really comes from.

Kate shares her remarkable personal journey — from emigrating from Russia to the United States at 16, experiencing homelessness and trauma, to building a life rooted in clarity, resilience, and compassion. Together, we explore why stress doesn’t come from our jobs, our children, or our circumstances, but from how we experience our thinking in the moment.

We discuss work stress, the hidden pressure many parents and professionals carry, common misunderstandings around teenage stress, and how understanding The Three Principles offers a simpler, kinder way to relate to pressure, emotion, and challenge.

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by work or family life and looking for a deeper understanding of stress that doesn’t require fixing, managing, or changing who they are.

Switching off after work can feel impossible — especially without a drink.

In this episode, Luke explores why so many high-performing professionals rely on alcohol to unwind, and why the real issue isn’t the drink itself, but how work stress is experienced internally.

Using an inside-out understanding of stress and wellbeing, this conversation looks at how pressure, mental noise, and exhaustion are created moment to moment — and how clarity can return naturally when that’s seen.

This episode is for professionals and leaders who feel constantly “on” and want work stress to ease without forcing habits, coping strategies, or lifestyle overhauls.

In this episode, Luke explores a simple but often overlooked question: what is really creating our experience at work? Many professionals assume stress comes directly from workload, pressure, or circumstances. But what if there’s more going on beneath the surface? Drawing on an inside-out understanding of experience, this conversation looks at how external events, internal experience, and a deeper intelligence work together to shape how work feels — often moment by moment. A reflective episode for high-functioning professionals who want clarity, not coping strategies.

In this episode, I’m joined by Clare Downham, for a thoughtful conversation about stress, anxiety, and where our experience really comes from.

Many people believe stress is caused by external pressure, demanding work, or difficult circumstances. In this conversation, we explore a different perspective — that stress and anxiety are created from the inside out, through the moment-to-moment experience of thought.

Together, we talk about:

• Why stress can feel constant even when life looks “fine”

• How anxiety can show up without an obvious external cause

• Why insight brings more ease than effort or coping strategies

• How understanding the source of experience naturally reduces pressure

This episode is for anyone who is high-functioning, capable, and successful, yet still experiences internal stress or anxiety — and is curious about a simpler, more compassionate understanding of wellbeing.
