In this episode of Realistic Happiness, we’re joined by Agnieszka, a Psychology Professor and Therapist for high-achievers, who helps individuals and organizations build sustainable, emotionally intelligent work environments.

We discuss:

- Breaking Out of Autopilot: How to recognize when you're running on default mode, and what changes when you put your well-being at the center of every decision.

- Avoidance and Procrastination: Understand the psychology behind avoidance behaviors, how they masquerade as productivity, and practical ways to reclaim your focus.

- Redefining Productivity Through Boundaries: Learn how to set clear, professional boundaries at work without fear or guilt—and why saying "yes later" is the key first step.

- The 7 Skills of Workplace Well-being: Discover the framework Agnieszka uses to help people articulate their emotional needs and communicate them effectively in professional settings.

- Manager Dynamics and Emotional Health: Explore the impact of leadership on mental well-being and how to navigate difficult conversations with your manager without losing confidence.

- Friendships at Work & Remote Realities: Why workplace friendships matter, how remote work has changed connection, and ways to rebuild meaningful interaction even from afar.
