In this episode, Luke explores a simple but often overlooked question: what is really creating our experience at work? Many professionals assume stress comes directly from workload, pressure, or circumstances. But what if there’s more going on beneath the surface? Drawing on an inside-out understanding of experience, this conversation looks at how external events, internal experience, and a deeper intelligence work together to shape how work feels — often moment by moment. A reflective episode for high-functioning professionals who want clarity, not coping strategies.

In this episode, I’m joined by Clare Downham, for a thoughtful conversation about stress, anxiety, and where our experience really comes from.

Many people believe stress is caused by external pressure, demanding work, or difficult circumstances. In this conversation, we explore a different perspective — that stress and anxiety are created from the inside out, through the moment-to-moment experience of thought.

Together, we talk about:

• Why stress can feel constant even when life looks “fine”

• How anxiety can show up without an obvious external cause

• Why insight brings more ease than effort or coping strategies

• How understanding the source of experience naturally reduces pressure

This episode is for anyone who is high-functioning, capable, and successful, yet still experiences internal stress or anxiety — and is curious about a simpler, more compassionate understanding of wellbeing.
