🧠 Ever felt the Sunday night dread creeping in, your chest tightening at the sight of your inbox, or snapping at home after holding it together all day at work?

In this episode of Life’s Bumps and Bruises, Joel shares his own experience of sliding from everyday pressure into full-blown burnout — and how stress in the workplace doesn’t just stay at the office, it follows you everywhere. Luke Lee Tet brings his counsellor’s lens, unpacking why so many of us are feeling the squeeze, and how to know when “normal work pressure” has tipped into something dangerous.
