| 31 Dec 2024 | Create a Compelling Vision for Your Life in the New Year | 00:12:34 | |
What would change if you decentered your career from your identity? Decentering your work from your identity might seem a counterintuitive topic for a podcast about career development, but burnout and disillusionment are running rampant these days, so it’s not too surprising this concept is getting a lot of airtime. Our work should be important and provide us with purpose, but it shouldn’t become the only important and purposeful part of who we are. Taking the spotlight off the career part of your identity gives you space and permission to respect the role of work in your life without requiring you to relinquish every part of yourself to your job. In this episode, I outline three considerations to help you realize this shift. Consider a more balanced alternative to living for your job:

In this episode, I speak with Farnoosh Torabi, a personal finance advisor, journalist, and author who explores fear and its role in our pursuit of success in her latest book, A Healthy State of Panic.

| 22 Oct 2024 | The Impact of State Abortion Bans on HR Policies | 00:12:09 | |
How will the various abortion bans across the U.S. affect HR policies? When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, federal protections on abortion ceased, and states were suddenly free to make independent decisions about this essential healthcare issue. The new laws range from full allowance to complete bans and criminal charges for those who circumvent them. So how are employers and HR teams navigating the impacts of this change, and how are employees across the country reacting when it comes to travel and job change considerations? The consequences of how these new laws impact women and their careers—both in states with bans and those without—can’t be overstated. In this episode, I examine some of the policies being discussed in regard to women’s rights and safety and how these laws are impacting both organizations and employees. Find out how abortion ban HR policies are affecting our career decisions:

| 05 Nov 2024 | America’s Parents Are Not Okay | 00:19:22 | |
Caregivers: when’s the last time you didn’t feel stressed out? In August, the U.S. Surgeon General released an advisory, titled “Parents Under Pressure,” that identified parental mental health as an urgent public health issue. Nearly half of parent participants in the surveys confirm that “their stress is completely overwhelming.” The wellbeing of these adults is worrisome on its own, and research also shows a strong correlation between poor mental health in parents and poor physical and mental health in children. In other words: this public health issue impacts multiple generations and, by extension, our entire country. In this episode, I take a closer look at the advisory and what workplaces should be doing to mitigate this national crisis. Discover what the research says and what your workplace should be doing about it:
