Do you struggle to set boundaries around work? Have you ever wondered if you're a workaholic? Would you like to be more present when you're spending time with your children?

Our guest today is Dr. Malissa Clark, Associate Professor of Industrial Organizational Psychology at the University of Georgia and author of the book "Never Not Working: Why the Always-On Culture is Bad for Business and How to Fix It."

Malissa outlines exactly what workaholism is and shares why having a 'type A' personality or identifying as a perfectionist is highly correlated with workaholism.

The good news is there are lots of helpful things we can do to set healthy boundaries and start addressing the negative ways this could be impacting our lives.

Malissa shares practical advice and tips, including how to learn to be more present as a parent when you are juggling so many different responsibilities.
