Back to work? Here’s the podcast you didn’t know you needed
Struggling with the back-to-work transition? 'Mind @ Work' on JacPod is here to help. Hosted by Elana, this podcast offers practical tips for staying balanced and managing work stress.
Let’s be honest—going back to work after the holidays can feel like a lot. The emails, the meetings, the endless to-do lists… it’s enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed.
That’s why we’re bringing 'Mind @ Work' back to your attention. If you missed it last year, this JacPod original podcast hosted by Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp is here to help you handle the workday chaos with a bit more ease.
With five episodes ready to stream, Elana dives into all the things we need to hear right now—like how to stay calm when things get messy, how to balance work with real life, and even when to step back and say, “Hold on, I need a minute.”
If you’re looking for something to help you start the year on a good note, this is it. Listen via Jacaranda FM’s JacPod, or if you’re more of a visual person, you can watch it on YouTube too.
We’ve all been there—staring at the screen, wondering how we are going to get through the week. 'Mind @ Work' won’t magically clear your inbox, but it’ll remind you that you’ve got what it takes to handle it all.
So, grab a coffee, pop in your earbuds, and let’s make this year a little less stressful.
