Right now, times are tough, and nearly everyone is feeling it. From my conversations with people leaders and wellbeing champions, I know the challenges you’re up against. I’m Sarah McGuinness, founder of Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW) and a wellbeing expert with a background in psychology. In 2020, I burned out spectacularly, and recovery was a long road. As I shared my story across media and keynote speeches, I realised just how many others had been through a similar experience. That’s when I knew it was time to take things up a gear and focus on breaking burnout culture - for good. Hence the name, Revolutionaries of Wellbeing (ROW). This podcast exists because the cost of burnout is too high. We’re losing out on the best of people and businesses because of something preventable. With 57% of New Zealanders at high risk of burnout, and similar trends worldwide, it’s clear we need fast, practical, evidence-based solutions. While episodes drop sporadically, each one is packed with real stories, expert insights, and practical tools to help you build a healthier, more sustainable workplace. This podcast is not just about burnout itself, but also about topics like inclusivity, bullying, menopause, financial health, psychological safety and more. It’s about changing how we live and work, for the better. And ROW is more than just conversations about improving wellbeing at work - it’s a community of HR and health and safety professionals and people leaders working towards so much more. We’re showing that getting workplace practices right can lead to real business success. So tune in and join us as we tackle burnout culture and drive real change - one awesome episode at a time.

In this episode, we take a deep-dive on long Covid, hidden disabilities and chronic illnesses, and how workplaces can rethink work and be more supportive.
Invisible or hidden disabilities are disabilities that are not immediately apparent. They are typically chronic illnesses that impact day-to-day living. As many as one in 10 of us could have one.
They range from learning differences, deafness, autism, traumatic brain injury, bipolar disorder, diabetes, ADHD, fibromyalgia, arthritis, sleep disorders, and many more.
With Long Covid increasing, wellbeing managers are going to need to understand and plan for this emerging issue.
We're joined by UK-based disability advocate and author Ted Smith. Ted is the author of Hidden Disabilities and Conditions; Creating an Inclusive Workplace. Together, we discuss chronic illness management and how that impacts wellbeing in the workplace.
