Hey TED Talks Daily listeners, I'm Elise Hugh.

Today we have an episode of another podcast from the TED Audio Collective handpicked by us for you.

For many of us, January is a time of reflection and renewal, a time to start over or aim to make some positive changes.

But it can also be a time of overwhelm and stress.

In this special unsolicited advice episode of Fixable, the first one of 2026, hosts Anne

Morris and Francis Fry tackle this issue by exploring how important rest and the power of intention are.

They offer unexpected tips and tricks for recovering from constant stress, owning what you need to feel alive and engaged, and creating an experience of work that unleashes your ambition.

Whatever you're dealing with at work, fixable is there to help, offering actionable insights

to create meaningful change in your life and workplace. Listen to Fixable wherever you get your

podcasts. And if you've got a problem you want fixed, call their hotline at 234 Fixable. That's

234-349-2253 to leave Anne and Francis a voicemail with your workplace problem.

Now on to the episode. Enjoy. Frances, we are more than halfway through the year now.

Bearing up for a quick summer break, I feel like so far we've done what we came to do on the show.

I completely agree. I have loved the master fixers, the teach-ins. I think we've done everything.

I think it's been a good semester. And, you know, I might be most proud about the fact that we give just enough advice.

I feel like we have been holding back a little bit, I have to say. I think restraint has been a theme of the first half of this year.

I think so. And it's unnatural for me, as you know. I think it, I say it, is usually how I operate.

But for our listeners, I'm trying to moderate a little bit.

Yeah. Well, it's good news because our plan today is to practice no restraint at all.

Oh.

We had a lot more to say to Rosemary about recovery and how to get your mojo back at work.
