Cactus Mode—the quiet trap many people fall into when they treat their workspace like a low-maintenance cactus: set it, forget it, and hope for the best. But unlike a cactus, your environment does need care. this episode breaks down why your space has a direct impact on your energy, focus, creativity, and wellbeing, backed by real research and a relatable story about what happens when we stop tending to the places we work in.

You’ll learn how small, simple “watering” habits—like light adjustments, a five-minute tidy, ergonomic checks, and tiny personal touches—can completely change how you feel in your workday. No big budgets, no renovations. Just awareness, intention, and noticing what you've been ignoring.

If you’ve been surviving in your workspace instead of thriving, this episode will help you refresh your environment—and reconnect with the space that supports you every day.
