The show highlights the importance of establishing safety in the workplace to create a culture where people can thrive, and how chronic stress in the workplace can lead to physical health problems such as muscle tension, respiratory issues, heart problems, digestive issues, and reproductive issues. It also mentions other effects of chronic stress such as depression, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and getting sick more often. The show emphasizes that ongoing stress is unhealthy and can lead to burnout, and discusses the limited options people may face when dealing with burnout.
