Feeling overwhelmed at work? You’re not alone! This week on Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults industrial and organizational psychologist Lora Bishop on the scientifically proven ways to manage stress.

As a neurodivergent queer person with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Lora Bishop brings both personal experience and professional expertise to their work. With a strong diversity, equity, and inclusion background, Lora Bishop works to help organizations foster environments that promote the well-being of all workers. Most of all, Lora Bishop is particularly passionate about leveraging research and lived experience to create more supportive and sustainable workplace culture. In this episode, Lora Bishop reveals that the biggest struggle stressed-out individuals face is that they don’t know there are science-backed ways to manage their burnout, and more importantly, that it is not an inevitable experience as an employee. Lora Bishop highlights that occupational stress is often exacerbated by a variety of external factors, such as micromanagement or lack of autonomy at work.

Together, Marie and Lora Bishop examine the psychological effects individuals may face when met with prolonged occupational stress, and explore science-backed habits that have proven effective in managing stress.
