How does constant pressure and demands impact our personal and work life? We have Fleur Peacock on the podcast to discuss this very topic.The average person receives 146 phone notifications daily, which translates to one notification every ten minutes.It’s no wonder we struggle to switch off, and feel constantly under pressure.Sarah and Fleur talk about the chaos of demands on people today, how it impacts our nervous system and overall performance in the workplace. Make sure to stick around to the end where she shares practical strategies you can implement today, to get better control of the chaos.About FleurAfter 14 years in the fitness industry, moving countries, and navigating breast cancer, Fleur's work was never about reinventing herself. It was about coming home to who she'd always been.MoreMoxie is a body of work expressed through speaking, retreats, and embodied experiences, rooted in courage, connection, and the belief that after survival, something truer and more spacious becomes possible.This isn’t about routines or mindset hacks. It’s about reconnecting with your body, your nervous system, and your voice, so you can live and lead in ways that actually fit. Fleur create spaces where people can step out of survival mode and rebuild their lives and identities with honesty, depth, and room for joy.Shaped by lived experience as much as training, my work is real, embodied, and human. Expect warmth, truth, the occasional swear word, and a deep obsession for the nervous system. This is serious work but it’s allowed to be joyful.Where to find FleurFleur Peacock on InstagramFleur Peacock on LinkedInFleur Peacock's websiteAbout 'The SEO Mindset' PodcastBuild your inner confidence and thrive.The SEO Mindset is a weekly podcast that will give you actionable tips, guidance and advice to help you not only build your inner confidence but to also thrive in your career.Each week we will cover topics specific to careers in the SEO industry but also broader topics too including professional and personal development.Your hosts are Life Coach Tazmin Suleman and SEO Manager Sarah McDowell, who between them have over 20 years of experience working in the industry.Sign up to be a guest on the podcast here.Click here to download your copy of our free 'Growth versus Fixed Mindset' ebook.Click here to sign up for our newsletter to receive news and updates from the podcast eg latest episodes, events, competitions etc. We will never spam and you can unsubscribe at anytime.Subscribe and never miss an episode: Listen to The SEO Mindset PodcastCheck all episodes: The SEO Mindset Podcast websiteResources used for episodePeople receive a phone notification every ten minutes on averageCopyright 2026 Sarah & TazminMentioned in this episode:Support the podcast today!For the same price of a Starbucks, Costa or your favourite coffee shop drink, you can give us a one-off tip or a monthly donation.
