Podcast: Making a Living with Maggie

Episode 101: Celebrating Wellness, Work, and What Really Matters with Mark Reinisch

In this milestone 101st episode of Making a Living with Maggie, we’re taking an honest look at the state of work today — and what it truly means to thrive, not just survive.

So many people are feeling stretched thin, questioning their direction, and struggling with mounting workplace pressures. Burnout rates are higher than ever — a statistic my guest shares that may surprise you — and it’s clear that the old “work harder, push through” mindset just isn’t working anymore.

Joining me to explore this shift is Mark Reinisch, author of The Wellness Ethic. Mark challenges the traditional “work ethic” narrative and invites us to reimagine success by prioritizing well-being, energy, and sustainability. His message aligns perfectly with this month’s Career Tip: opening your mind to what’s possible — especially at a time when people are seeking more meaning, healthier boundaries, and a better way forward.

Whether you’re dealing with burnout, reevaluating your career path, or simply craving more alignment in your life and work, this episode offers insight, validation, and tools to help you navigate what comes next.

Tune in — and take the next step toward making a living and making a life you love.
