 Wave Work Stress Goodbye A Podcast for Corporate Professionals and Leaders Navigating Work Stress, Burnout and Workplace Pressure. Wave Work Stress Goodbye is hosted by Luke Richardson, a UK-based work stress coach. The podcast explores work stress, anxiety, and burnout through an inside-out, Three Principles understanding. Rather than offering endless tools or stress-management techniques, these conversations point to something deeper — how our experience of pressure is created from the inside out and how clarity and ease return naturally when that’s seen.

  • Why Corporate Professionals Still Feel Financial Stress - Even on Good Salaries

    Why Corporate Professionals Still Feel Financial Stress - Even on Good Salaries
    May 10 2026

    Why do so many corporate professionals still experience financial stress, salary anxiety, and workplace insecurity — even when earning good money or receiving pay rises?


    In this episode of Wave Work Stress Goodbye, Luke Richardson explores the psychology behind money, work stress, financial pressure, unemployment anxiety, and career insecurity in corporate life.


    This episode dives into:
    • Financial stress at work
    • Why pay rises don’t always increase happiness
    • Unemployment fears and career uncertainty
    • Why high earners still feel stressed about money
    • Workplace anxiety linked to salary, success, and comparison
    • Why our thinking about money may affect us more than money itself

    If you are a corporate professional, leader, manager, executive, salesperson, or high performer struggling with stress around salary, financial security, career progression, or job uncertainty, this episode offers a fresh and insightful perspective.

    Luke Richardson shares reflections on how clearer thinking can improve our relationship with money, work, success, and emotional wellbeing in high-pressure corporate environments.

  • High Performer Anxiety at Work: How to Think Clearly and Solve Problems Under Pressure

    High Performer Anxiety at Work: How to Think Clearly and Solve Problems Under Pressure
    Apr 26 2026

    Do you feel pressure at work even when you’re doing well?

    If you’re a high-performing professional in a corporate role, you might recognise this:

    • overthinking decisions
    • second-guessing yourself
    • feeling anxious before meetings, deadlines or performance reviews
    • struggling to switch off after work

    In this episode, we explore why high performer anxiety is so common — and why traditional advice like time management, productivity hacks, or “thinking more positively” often doesn’t solve it.

    Instead, we look at something deeper:

    👉 Where your experience of pressure and anxiety is actually coming from
    👉 Why your ability to think clearly disappears under pressure
    👉 How clarity returns naturally when you understand what’s really going on

    This isn’t about managing stress better.

    It’s about seeing something new — so you can:

    • make better decisions at work
    • feel more confident in high-pressure situations
    • stop overthinking and second-guessing
    • experience more clarity, even on busy days

    If you’re a manager, leader, or corporate professional who wants to perform at a high level without feeling constantly stressed, this episode will resonate.
