In this episode of Wave Work Stress Goodbye, I’m joined by Aoife Leggett, a high-performance coach based in Ireland, to explore the connection between work stress, leadership, performance, and self-awareness.

Aoife is an internationally accredited coach with a background in performance coaching, breathwork, and mindset. Drawing from both her professional experience and her earlier years growing up around the equestrian world, she offers a unique perspective on pressure, resilience, and what it really means to perform at your best.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Work stress and its impact on performance
• Self-awareness and emotional resilience

• Lessons from the equestrian world and high-performance environments
• How our personal experiences shape how we show up at work

Aoife also shares insights into her own journey — from her early years to becoming a coach — and how those experiences have shaped her approach to helping others navigate stress and performance in both life and work.

This episode offers a different take on stress — one that goes beyond surface-level strategies and points toward a deeper understanding of where pressure really comes from.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed at work, stepping into leadership, or looking to improve performance without burning out, this conversation will give you plenty to reflect on.

🎧 Listen now and start to see work stress in a different way.

In this episode, I’m joined by transformational coach and Three Principles practitioner Jenn Westra for a deep and insightful conversation on the nature of work stress, overthinking, and where our experience is truly coming from.

Jenn has spent over seven years working closely with George Pransky and Linda Pransky, developing a grounded understanding of the Three Principles—Mind, Thought, and Consciousness—and how they shape our everyday experience.

Together, we explore:

• Why so many high performers feel stuck in cycles of overthinking and pressure
• The inside-out understanding of stress and how experience is created from within
• How clarity, ease, and connection naturally emerge when the mind settles
• Why traditional strategies for managing stress often fall short
• What becomes possible when we see beyond thought-created limitations

Jenn shares a refreshingly simple yet profound perspective that moves beyond techniques and into a deeper understanding of how the mind works. This conversation is especially valuable for leaders, professionals, and anyone navigating stress, emotional patterns, or relationship challenges.

If you’ve ever felt caught in your thinking or wondered why success doesn’t always bring the clarity you expected, this episode offers a powerful new way of seeing.

Bonus Episode

This is a short bonus episode taken from one of my recent videos on YouTube, where I explore an important question:

Why does work stress feel so real, and where does it actually come from?

Many professionals believe their stress is being caused by workloads, deadlines, leadership pressure or difficult workplace situations. But what if our experience of stress is actually being created somewhere else entirely?

I share a different perspective on work stress and anxiety at work, and why understanding where our experience is really coming from can help bring more clarity, resilience and wellbeing in demanding roles.

If you often find yourself overthinking work, feeling pressure in leadership positions, or struggling to switch off at the end of the day, this episode may offer a helpful insight.
