STOP... Workplace Wellness Isn’t About Yoga or Puppy Therapy!

Look, I’ve got nothing against yoga. But let’s not pretend a few downward dogs and a mindfulness app are going to fix workplace stress. No, the real cause of stress is either a shitty client or a shitty manager chasing too many shitty clients.

And guess what? Kombucha breaks won’t save you from that.

You can have all the bean bags, meditation rooms, and weekly puppy therapy sessions you like (yes, that’s actually a thing now... Fux-ache!), but if your team is buried under a mountain of unreasonable demands because someone said yes to every Tom, Dick, and Nightmare Client that walked through the door, you’re not fixing stress—you’re just giving it a back rub.

Here’s the reality: Not every deal is a good deal. The wrong client will suck the life out of your team faster than a toddler on a sugar high. And the worst part? It’s totally avoidable.

It all starts with leadership. If your manager is chasing every warm body with a budget, they’re not building a business—they’re building a stress factory.

The best way to improve workplace wellness isn’t to install a Zen garden in reception—it’s to say “no” to the clients who make your team want to fake their own death.

So, next time you’re thinking about ‘wellness initiatives,’ maybe skip the aromatherapy candles and focus on bringing in the right clients—the ones who actually value what you do and don’t treat your team like their personal 24/7 help desk.

That’s the only wellness strategy that works longterm... Fact.
