Why Returning to the Office Feels So Hard
The “back to the office” wave is here—and for millions who rebuilt their lives around working from home, that’s a massive change. In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Sim (Simranjit) Chhabra (Horizon Within) to unpack the real mental & practical challenges of Return-to-Office (RTO): lost commute hours, disrupted routines, pressure to “just adapt,” and why companies often miss the human math behind productivity.
We dig into:
The change spectrum: where you sit (from “drag me by the nails” to “bring on the change”) and why it matters
Turning non-negotiables (like commuting) into meaningful time—podcasts, audiobooks, mindful check-ins
How leaders can design with humans in mind (asynchronous work, measure output not chairs)
The pendulum effect of policy shifts and how to find your middle ground
Practical steps to protect your time, energy, and sanity as RTO ramps up
If you’re anxious about going back—or leading a team through it—this conversation is your field guide.
