The weekday podcast is for high-achieving women 


If you're struggling with workplace anxiety, feeling emotionally drained, lying awake at 2:03 a.m. staring at the clock, replaying conversations, or wondering why your success feels so expensive now, you're in the right place.


Hosted by Cheryl Paris, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Stress Recovery Coach, this podcast helps high-achieving women understand work-related stress, prevent burnout, build emotional resilience, and recover from chronic workplace pressure.


Work Stress Anxiety uses metaphors, nervous system education, and real-world workplace examples to help high-achieving women make sense of stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion at work.


Through honest conversations with ordinary people you’d walk past in the street every day, Cheryl explores real stories, real struggles, and practical ways forward, without the motivational nonsense.


You'll get to learn practical strategies for:

• Work stress and workplace stress

• Work anxiety and anxiety at work

• Burnout prevention and burnout recovery

• Emotional exhaustion and nervous system overload

• Emotional resilience during difficult periods

• Stress recovery after prolonged pressure

• High-functioning anxiety

• Workplace conflict and investigations

• Toxic workplace cultures

• Setting boundaries without guilt

• Sleeping better when your mind won't switch off

• Coping with uncertainty, change, and job insecurity


Helping you understand what's really happening in your workplace mind, what's happening in your nervous system, and what you can do next.


ABGW stands for Awareness, Balance, Growth, and Win-Win Wellbeing.


Not pretending that a breathing exercise fixes your dysfunctional workplace.

None of that resilience theatre or so-called positivity.


Just practical support for high-achieving women who want to stop paying for their success with their health.
