Globally Grounded: The Work-Life Reset

Episode 8: The Epidemic of “Second Shift” Burnout

In this episode of Globally Grounded, Kyra unpacks the modern “second shift”: the extra hours of unpaid or invisible labor that millions of people take on. From single parents in the U.S. to informal workers in Kenya to families in Brazil juggling multiple jobs, she explores what the data reveals about burnout, gender dynamics, and economic pressure. And she makes the case that the real problem isn’t motivation or mindset, it’s the way our systems are designed.

Episode 7: Grounded in New Zealand

New Zealand is often celebrated as one of the world’s happiest, most livable countries, but the story is more layered than it seems. In this episode of Globally Grounded, Kyra explores how this nation’s strong sense of community, leadership grounded in empathy, and focus on environmental and social well-being create a powerful model for balance. But she also looks at who gets left behind in the data, and what we can learn from that. It’s a journey through kindness, culture, and connection, and a reminder that true well-being isn’t a destination, but a shared practice.

Inspired by a New York Times feature on Japan’s centenarians, she unpacks how meaning, connection, and routine can be just as vital to our health as diet or exercise. Along the way, she weaves in global research — from Sardinia to Denmark — and reflects on what it really means to find harmony between work and well-being at every stage of life.
