The Great Untangle

Are you feeling tangled up

in your job or career?

Maybe you're wondering how

to put your own needs

at the centre of your life.

If so, you're in the right place.

Welcome to The Great Untangle.

I'm Dr Nicky Priaulx,

your host and a sort of guide

on this journey of professional

and personal transformation.

As a former law professor who

once felt a bit trapped in what

some would regard as a successful

career, I know what it's like

to feel tangled up with work.

In 2023, at the age of 50,

I made a life-altering decision.

I left my career in higher

education to pursue

a path that prioritises,

wait for it,

it's radical,

my health, my happiness,

and a way of working that

really works for me.

This was totally one of the best

decisions I've ever made.

Now, quitting a job, of course,

is one heck of a dramatic

approach to untangling, and

undoubtedly a privileged way of

untangling that not everyone can

afford to do, or even

necessarily wants to do.

But as this channel is going

to explore, quitting a job or

career is not, and should not

be the only way to untangle.

Throughout my career as a

professor, researcher and socio-

legal systems analyst, I've been

fascinated by the question of

how we can create more

fulfilling work environments,

ones that benefit both

individuals and organisations.

Because the two should

work together, right?

In this era of rapid change

and increasing demands,

many of us seeking ways

to find meaning and balance

in our professional lives.

Now, The Great Untangle is

about exploring these approaches.

It's for those who are yearning for

more from their lives, who want to

untangle themselves from the

all-consuming nature of work

and to rediscover the joy of living.

So if you're feeling suffocated

by career demands, or you're

simply craving more fulfilment,

you've found your sanctuary.

Through candid discussions,

expert insights and personal

stories, we're going

to explore diverse pathways

to a more fulfilling future.

Whether that means reimagining your

current role or making a dramatic

career change, we're here

to help you navigate that journey.

This is where laughter meets

inspiration and practical advice

empowers you to align

your life and work with

your deepest held values.

We'll challenge

conventional wisdom,

dare to imagine your best life, and

you'll hear from amazing people

who've redesigned the way their

lives accommodate work, as well

as experts who help others like

you become their own life

architects.

Join me on this journey

of discovery,

growth and transformation.

Together, let's have a

hoot untangling the

complexities of modern work

life and weave a future where

work better works for you

aligns with who you are, and

who you want to be.
