Season 2 · Episode 5
Sunday, March 1, 2026 • Duration 17:07
Why does resentment quietly build up at work and what can we do before it takes over? In this episode, Jennifer explores where it comes from, how it shows up, and practical ways to move through it.

Jennifer also shares actionable strategies for both employees and managers, encouraging honest self-reflection and more meaningful recognition at work.

Mia is an ex-aid-worker turned coach and breath work practitioner who helps capable people through life’s big, unchosen transitions - the kind that knocks you sideways while the world still expects you to turn up for work on Monday. She supports clients through grief, unexpected caring responsibilities, health upheavals, breakups, burnout, and all the other moments that turn life inside out.
She’s been doing this work for years, and not just professionally. Life has kindly (and repeatedly) offered her the “full sampler platter” of major transitions - which means she knows, in her bones, what it’s like to function through chaos while still doing the school run.
She helps people who are holding everything together on the outside actually feel okay on the inside - by bringing mind, body and breath back into the same room. Because what might become possible if you felt like yourself again?
