In this episode of Globally Grounded, Kyra takes a look at the four-day workweek to explore what’s actually happened when organizations around the world have tried it. Drawing on large-scale trials from the UK, Iceland, Portugal, and Spain, she breaks down what the data really shows about productivity, burnout, well-being, gender equity, and retention. She also reflects on what these global experiments reveal about U.S. work culture, and how even organizations that aren’t ready for a four-day week can apply the lessons today.

In this episode, Kyra explores how our definitions of success are shaped by culture, economics, and the stories we’ve inherited about work and achievement. Drawing on global research, lived experience, and her own career evolution, she challenges the narrow, resume-driven version of success often emphasized in the U.S.

Rather than replacing one definition with another, this conversation invites listeners to broaden the lens, making space for multiple ways of “making it,” from titles and income to well-being, stability, contribution, and meaning. Whether success for you looks like climbing higher, slowing down, or redefining the rules entirely, this episode offers perspective, permission, and thoughtful questions to carry into your own life and work.

In this episode, Kyra kicks off 2026 by unpacking a timely Fast Company article that argues this year could mark a real turning point for employee well-being. Drawing on global research, lived experience, and shifting workplace realities — from investor pressure to AI acceleration — she explores why well-being is no longer a “nice to have,” but a strategic imperative. Through global patterns and practical insights, Kyra reflects on how work can be designed to support human cycles, meaning, and connection as we move into a year that asks more of leaders, organizations, and all of us.
