244: Can We Be Alone With Our Thoughts
A recent article Eric read stating people would rather hurt themselves than sit alone with their thoughts for more than a few minutes, is the inspiration behind this episode. Not even Nayla knew what the topic would be going in, but it's a perfect example of what The Inside Job podcast is all about … pushing past the uncomfortable to face what's going on underneath. Take a listen to today's episode and really be honest with yourself over whether you would choose an electric shock over your own thoughts.

243: Are You Changing Who You Are Or Changing What You Do
It's been a minute since we've been here on the podcast, and we're honestly not sure where the first quarter of the year went. When we released the last episode in January, we had the best intentions of consistently releasing episodes, and all of a sudden, three months had gone by. We're back again, though, and the topic for this week's episode is one that we've not only both worked with clients on, but one we have also experienced ourselves. We believe this is a great episode to kick off the rest of our 2026 episodes, and we hope it's one you'll resonate with as well. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

242: What Is the Best of You Anyway
As ambition evolves, do we let it or do we try to plan for it? We're starting the new year off strong by tackling a topic we've noticed several of our clients struggling with lately. The topic has presented itself in our conversations as them changing their relationship with ambition or struggling with where to place their motivation. However, in discussing this topic amongst ourselves, we realized there's a much deeper conversation to be had around what the best version of ourselves really looks like and how to know if we're sharing that version to those around us.

241: The Inside Job Questionnaire
Welcome to the final episode of 2025. In this episode, we thought it would be a good time to revisit a topic we actually covered around this time a few years ago. Episode 142: Proust Questionnaire - The Inside Job Edition is one of our most popular episodes, and we think part of that is because so many of you listeners used the questions in that episode as conversation prompts. As you know from our recent series about conversations that count, we're big believers in using conversations as a tool for self-understanding, better relationships, better management, and for better culture at work. In fact, we're such big believers that we've created our very own tool for conversation starters that we're giving you a preview of today. And don't worry. While we will be taking a little bit of a break for the holidays, we'll be back with new episodes in 2026. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

240: Being A Lifelong Learner
We all know that deepening our knowledge in certain areas related to our work is a good idea, but how many of us have several articles saved to read later or classes we've signed up for but haven't yet completed? This topic came up for us because we realized recently we'd both been struggling to make time to focus on a few things we'd been wanting to learn, and knew we weren't alone in that struggle. This week, we're making time to talk about learning and how we make time, or don't, to learn as professionals. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

239: Good Stress Bad Stress
There's a reason stress reduction is a billion-dollar industry. There's so much stress right now that a lot of our clients have lost the ability to tell what stress is working for them and what stress is working against them. We're in the homestretch of the college application process with our kids, and the stress that comes along with the entire process is a perfect example of why we wanted to talk about this topic on the podcast this week. If you've been feeling stressed, burnt out, or overwhelmed, this episode is for you. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

238: Do I Need A Life Plan
Are you borrowing someone else's life plan? We often set goals or make decisions based on the path we think we should be on without giving much thought to what we truly want out of life. We see others doing certain things or achieving admirable goals and think we should be doing the same. But, what if we don't actually want to do those things? Our topic this week came to us from a few different directions, but we wanted to bring it to the podcast because our clients almost always raise this topic at some point in our work together. Is a life plan necessary? Do Nayla and Eric even agree on the answer to that question? Tune in to this week's episode to find out. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn (Eric | Nayla).

237: The Inspiration Paradox
Inspiration can be found anywhere and, if you're Eric, that can even include a skeleton in your front yard. A lot of us believe we're supposed to feel thrilled, excited, energized, and inspired by our work. While it would be great if that were true all the time, we tend to panic in the moments when it feels like our inspiration in our work is drying up. So, in this episode that was recorded shortly before Halloween, we're exploring what we refer to as the inspiration paradox by discussing what it looks like to lose inspiration in the workplace, whether or not we need to feel inspired in order to be productive, what we can do about a lack of inspiration, and more.

About Inside Job
We're Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we'll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.
