Season 7 of The Floorplan introduces you to UK journalist, author and workplace commentator Ellen Scott, who challenges some of our assumptions about work, ambition and purpose.
Ellen explores hustle culture, quiet quitting, burnout and boredom, drawing on her own experiences with OCD and depression to discuss how we can build healthier, more intentional relationships with work.
Libby and Ellen talk about finding meaning beyond work, understanding the role work actually plays in our lives, and what to do when you're simply trying to survive rather than thrive in your job.
A thoughtful and honest conversation about contemporary working lives, identity, and purpose.
