Workplace wellness has never been more visible, from mental health benefits to flexible schedules, but has it truly become central to how companies operate, or is it still a leadership side project? That was one of the questions we explored with Jennifer Moss, an award-winning author and workplace culture strategist, in our first episode of 2026. A frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review, CNN, Time, and The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer has spent her career studying burnout, happiness at work, and organizational wellbeing.
Our conversation examined how forces like AI, hybrid work, and always-on digital culture are reshaping employee health, often intensifying stress rather than reducing it. Jennifer shared why, despite significant investment, mental health and wellbeing initiatives still struggle to move from the margins into the core of leadership strategy.
We also discussed how the physical elements of work, from office environments to everyday nutritional choices, play a meaningful role in energy, focus, and resilience. And of course, how mindful drinking plays into all of the above.
