The questions we type into Google say more about us than the things we say out loud, and this is certainly true on sensitive topics such as stress and burnout.
Search data shows us what people are looking for, what they’re worried about, what they’re struggling with, and how our behaviour is shifting in ways we don’t always notice.
In this episode Steve Paine and Tazmin talk about what this data reveals about human psychology. They discuss the changing information habits, and what two decades of search data tells us about how work, attention, and wellbeing have evolved.
About Steve
Steve is the English-language marketing manager, technical and copy editor at SISTRIX and he oversees the end-end process for all of the knowledge and data journalism content. “We use a journalistic approach to crafting useful, high-quality stories from our data.” Steve has a very long history in online content dating back to before the web was born.

Let's talk about luck.
Is it random? Something that happens to other people, at the right time, in the right place.
Or is it something we can actively influence through how we show up, the decisions we make, and the way we move through our careers?
In this episode, Tazmin is joined by Mel Barfield who explains why it is the latter and what we can do to be 'more lucky'.

We're coming to the halfway point of the year making it the perfect moment to pause and ask: where did the first six months go?
In this bonus episode, Tazmin gets honest about that familiar feeling of falling behind on January's big intentions, and shares exactly what she's doing about it.
Rather than panicking about the six months ahead, Tazmin walks through her own 90-day reset, a more tangible alternative to the daunting "rest of the year" mindset.
Tazmin also shares why she's tackling her easiest wins first to build momentum, the accountability system she's put in place, about choosing persistence over consistency.
It's a practical pep talk for anyone feeling like they've lost time this year, followed by a republished episode on the 10 ways to progress toward career success to help you carry that momentum forward.

AI is quietly reshaping burnout, not by reducing workload but by increasing mental load, decision fatigue, and the pressure to constantly optimise.
In this week's episode Tazmin explores how efficiency leads to exhaustion, and what burnout in the age of AI looks like.
She unpacks the hidden patterns behind “AI-related burnout,” and shares practical ways to use AI without losing boundaries, clarity, or connection to your own judgement.

Nearly 40% of discrimination cases are never reported.
Employee claims of discrimination hit a record high in 2024 (the highest level in nine years of tracking) - and that's just what gets reported.
45% of workers aren't even aware their company has an anti-discrimination policy.
Let some of those numbers sink in...
This week on the podcast I am joined by Laura Iancu, founder of Searchpedia, the SEO Gal at Octopus Energy, and a proud member of Women in Tech SEO & NDs in SEO.
She refers to herself as a search activist, meaning she doesn’t just talk about making search better, fairer, and more useful, she walks the walk.
We talk about why representation and inclusion matters both online and in the workplace. She shares what frustrates her most, the impact it has in the workplace and how community plays an important role.
She also shares practical tips for people who feel excluded and how we can all be better allies.
As this is such a big topic, I have decided to do a part one and part two.
This is part one of the conversation, where me and Laura have a heart to heart and put some worlds to right.
We discuss so many different topics including, the problem with “default user" design, whether its lack of awareness or money constraints that get in the way, being aware of how our own background and experiences can give us biases, how exclusion shows up in the workplace and so much more.

Are you aware of your own biases?
You judge someone who picks mayo over ketchup on their chips. You look on in disbelief when people add milk to their coffee, because everyone knows the only way to drink it is black.
Joking aside, this week we're talking about the biases that exist in the SEO industry.
I'm joined by Lydia Fox, Head of SEO at Serpify, who specialises in off-page strategies for YMYL clients, helping brands build authority, trust, and sustainable search growth.
Lydia speaks openly about the times her opinion hasn't been asked for or respected, and the judgement she's faced simply for focusing on off-page SEO. We get into how that kind of bias can feed imposter syndrome, the personal toll it takes, and the strategies she's developed for dealing with it and refusing to be put in a box.
About Lydia
Lydia Fox is the Head of SEO at Serpify focused on offpage strategies for YMYL clients that helps brands build authority, trust, and sustainable search growth. She focuses on strategies that drive conversions, not just traffic, using EEAT-led link building, digital PR, and long-term brand development to create real commercial impact. Lydia takes a brand-first approach to SEO, helping businesses position themselves as credible, recognisable, and trustworthy in both Google’s eyes and their customers’.

AI was supposed to save us time.
So why do so many of us feel more overwhelmed than ever?
We use AI to answer questions, speed up workflows, and handle the tasks we find dull or time-consuming. Is it actually increasing our efficiency, or just quietly reshaping our ability to think, connect, and build skills.
This week, we have such a treat for you.
Last week was brightonSEO, and we teamed up with our buddy Jack and the Search With Candour podcast to do our usual LIVE podcast the night before the conference kicked off.
The beauty of a LIVE podcast is that the conversation was recorded, meaning if you couldn’t attend you don’t miss out, this episode features the full live conversation plus the Q&A session with the audience, so you get the complete experience from wherever you're listening.

What if every piece of content you've pushed out to "stay visible" has actually been quietly costing you, not in reach, but in trust? In yourself, and in the people you're trying to reach.
There's a pressure most creators know intimately but rarely name out loud: the pull to make content that performs rather than content that actually sounds like you. This episode explores this very topic and asks what it's really costing us.
Erin Simmons joins the show to explore the hidden erosion that happens when we optimise ourselves out of our own voice, and why community (not better strategy) might be the most powerful way back.

Erin is Managing Director at the Women in Tech SEO community—focused on maintaining safe, inclusive, and helpful spaces. With 15+ years in marketing and analytics, they now focus on better understanding people and connecting them to the relationships and resources that support them most.

April is Stress Awareness Month and this episode challenges the idea that stress is something we simply have to put up with.
Stress Awareness Month is led by the Stress Management Society and exists to help people understand stress better, talk about it more openly, and manage it in ways that genuinely support their wellbeing.
This year's theme is #BeTheChange, a powerful call to personal agency, action, and transformation, rooted in the principles of Self-Efficacy, Neuroplasticity, and Relational Connection.
Because change doesn't happen by accident. It happens when we take ownership through small, consistent actions, shifting the way we think, and building real, meaningful connections. Do that, and you don't just cope with stress. You completely transform how you experience it.

Do you feel guilty saying no? If you're used to being a people pleaser and saying yes all the time, it's hard saying no and putting in boundaries.
We're revisiting an episode from the archives about why people pleasing is holding us back. Before getting into the episode, Sarah (who is all too familiar with people pleasing) shares practical steps we can do when we get that guilty feeling, and are on the cusp of taking away a healthy boundary.

How does constant pressure and demands impact our personal and work life? We have Fleur Peacock on the podcast to discuss this very topic.
The average person receives 146 phone notifications daily, which translates to one notification every ten minutes.
It’s no wonder we struggle to switch off, and feel constantly under pressure.
Sarah and Fleur talk about the chaos of demands on people today, how it impacts our nervous system and overall performance in the workplace. Make sure to stick around to the end where she shares practical strategies you can implement today, to get better control of the chaos.
About Fleur
After 14 years in the fitness industry, moving countries, and navigating breast cancer, Fleur's work was never about reinventing herself. It was about coming home to who she'd always been.
MoreMoxie is a body of work expressed through speaking, retreats, and embodied experiences, rooted in courage, connection, and the belief that after survival, something truer and more spacious becomes possible.
This isn’t about routines or mindset hacks. It’s about reconnecting with your body, your nervous system, and your voice, so you can live and lead in ways that actually fit. Fleur create spaces where people can step out of survival mode and rebuild their lives and identities with honesty, depth, and room for joy.
Shaped by lived experience as much as training, my work is real, embodied, and human. Expect warmth, truth, the occasional swear word, and a deep obsession for the nervous system. This is serious work but it’s allowed to be joyful.
