Are You a Workaholic? | Slow English Conversation (C1) | The Gentle English

🌿 Welcome to The Gentle English — a gentle English podcast where you can practice listening, slow your thoughts, and reflect on life with warmth and ease. In this soothing episode, Daisy and Henry explore a soft but important question many of us avoid: Are you working too much — without even realizing it? Not the loud, obvious kind of overwork. But the quiet kind. Where your mind never truly rests, stopping feels uncomfortable, and your sense of worth slowly becomes connected to staying busy. Through calm, honest conversation, they gently talk about: • Why resting can feel uneasy • How work quietly becomes part of who we are • The emotional reasons behind always doing more • How to create kinder boundaries with yourself • Why rest isn’t something you earn — it’s something you need This episode helps you improve your English naturally while thinking deeply about balance, self-worth, and emotional well-being — all in slow, clear, thoughtful English. ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover that: • Being busy doesn’t mean being important • Overworking often comes from fear, not love for work • Rest doesn’t need permission • Boundaries can be gentle, not strict • Listening to your body is a quiet kind of intelligence 🕯 This isn’t a productivity lesson. It’s a human conversation — about slowing down, giving yourself permission, and treating yourself with care. 💬 Perfect for listeners who want to: • Practice English listening at B1–C1 level • Learn emotional and reflective vocabulary • Improve pronunciation through slow, natural dialogue • Understand work-life balance in simple English • Feel calmer, seen, and less alone 🌱 Soft reminders from this episode: • Rest is care, not laziness • Your value isn’t proven by exhaustion • Work should support your life, not replace it • Life doesn’t need to be rushed • Being kind to yourself is real success 🪞 Reflection Question How does work feel in your life right now? Does it support you — or slowly drain you? Share your thoughts in the comments 🌼
