Work Backwards: Rethinking Success, Burnout & Meaningful Work with Tim Duggan | E263

What if the reason so many people feel burnt out, disconnected, or stuck… is because they've built their life backwards?

In this powerful conversation, Ilana sits down with author, entrepreneur, and speaker Tim Duggan to explore how redefining success, creating white space, and rethinking the role work plays in our lives can completely transform our wellbeing. Together, they unpack burnout culture, meaningful work, nervous system awareness, creativity, conflict, and why so many people are living on autopilot without even realising it.

What you'll hear in this episode:

The simple but life-changing framework behind "working backwards" and why most people are living on default mode
Why burnout often happens when we lose connection to meaning, joy, creativity, and space
The surprising research around 20% meaningful work and its connection to stress and fulfilment
How creating white space and time to think can lead to clarity, creativity, and major life shifts
A fascinating discussion on conflict, communication, relationships, and emotional avoidance from Tim's upcoming book.

This episode is a powerful reminder that success isn't one-size-fits-all, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is pause long enough to ask yourself what you actually want.

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or craving a different way of living and working, this is a must-listen conversation. Tune into Episode 263 now at ilanak.com.au/podcast or your favourite podcast app 🎧 .
