S10 E1: The Cost of Motherhood Nobody Talks About...

I Hate It Here ·

2025/10/27

Motherhood at work. Just saying that out loud makes my blood pressure spike a little, not gonna lie! Because being a mom already feels like the challenge of a lifetime, and then you add performance reviews, “flexibility” that’s anything but, and coworkers who suddenly forget how calendars work when daycare pickup time hits? It’s all mess! But motherhood also changes how folks lead, empathize, and show up, in ways that deserve way more respect than they get. This week, I sat down with Erin

2025/09/22

Look, I love a good policy binder as much as the next HR nerd (okay, maybe sometimes even more). But here’s the thing no one wants to say out loud: Sometimes the “right” answer on paper is actually the wrong move in real life. 🙃 In this episode, I sat down with Stephanie Schuler to talk about the messy, gray, can’t-Google-it moments where consistency, fairness, and actual human judgment all collide. The easy answers may not always exist, but the better ones do! 0:02:34 - One Hard

S9 E9: The Hidden Tax of Being the "Only" at Work...

I Hate It Here ·

2025/09/15

Being the only at work isn’t just lonely, it’s heavy. It’s the unspoken pressure of carrying an entire group on your back while still trying to do your actual job, all while dodging microaggressions and pretending you don’t notice the side-eyes in meetings. Been there too many times! In this episode, I sat down with Amina Gass to name the emotional labor that underrepresented folks shoulder every day, and we talk about how allyship, mentorship, and how genuine inclusion can make the

S9 E8: No HR in Your Leadership Meetings? BIG Mistake...

I Hate It Here ·

2025/09/08

If you’re still debating whether HR deserves a seat at the table, let me save you the suspense: Your seat is already cemented there. Hell, depending on the day, it might even be a throne! And today, I’ve got Ana King, CPO at SAPI, joining me to dig into this hard truth. With experience at Twilio, Trainline, and Google, Ana knows firsthand that no leadership meeting should ever happen without the leaders in the room, and that includes People Leaders. We’re not support, we’re

S9 E7: Work Isn't Set Up to Support Neurodiversity...

I Hate It Here ·

2025/09/01

Hard truth: work wasn’t built for all of us to thrive. Neurodivergent folks seem to deal with a lot of norms when they aren’t the problem—the systems are. I’m joined by Tameka Allen, founder of ModCulture and all-around brilliance-unlocker, to talk about how workplace “norms” actually exclude, alienate, and erase so many people. From the myth of “professionalism” to the way orgs treat neurodivergence as a personal issue instead of a design flaw, we’re pulling no punches. If you’ve

S9 E6: Is the Future of Work F*cked? with Aparna Rae

I Hate It Here ·

2025/08/25

When people say “the future of work,” I usually want to roll my eyes so hard they get stuck. But let’s be honest: It’s chaos out there! We’ve been sold the dream of four-day work weeks, AI saving us from boring tasks, and companies suddenly caring about wellbeing. Funny, RIGHT? Instead, we’ve got AI gutting industries, a labor market so messy the president literally fired the stats guy, and climate change knocking on the office door. In this episode, I sit down with Aparna Rae to ask

I Hate It Here ·

2025/08/18

Remember when getting the top job was THE dream? Corner office, big paycheck, fancy title, and all the LinkedIn glory shots you could handle! Yeah…now for a lot of folks, it feels more like winning a free trip to a haunted house. In this episode, I had a fun but important chat with Ciara Lakhani to unpack why so many people are quietly saying, “Hard pass” to climbing the ladder. We’re talking burnout, invisible costs, shifting definitions of success, and why ambition doesn’t have to

2025/08/11

You ready for a nice reality check?I hope so, because today’s episode is built around three hard truths about your career that no one talks about enough: Working hard isn’t a promotion strategy. Getting fired might be the thing that finally sets you free. If no one with decision-making power knows what you do…you’re invisible. I brought on April Little, executive coach, Time 100 Creator, and someone I’ve been professionally stalking on LinkedIn for years, to unpack all of

2025/08/04

Have you ever seen a CEO post online and thought, “Who approved this…and why was it them?” I think we all have at this rate! In this episode, I’m joined by the iconic Sarah Reynolds, marketing exec, pay equity champion, and all-around ethical disruptor, to unpack what happens when CEOs throw ethics out the window. From public tantrums to private chaos, we talk about the ripple effects of bad behavior in the C-suite and what it really means for employee trust, brand integrity, and workplace

2025/07/28

So if you didn’t know,I love a good career pivot story! Today’s guest is basically the poster child for burning it all down and starting over, in the best possible way. I first found Ash Hynie on TikTok like any good millennial does, instantly became obsessed, and then fully fangirled when we met IRL at a conference! In this episode, we talk about why your job isn’t your identity (even if capitalism told you otherwise), how terrifying and freeing it is to start over, and why

S9 E1: I'm Burnt Out, Now What? with Eva Bak

I Hate It Here ·

2025/07/21

Burnout is basically an epidemic. And HR? We’re patient zero! In this episode, I sat down with my brilliant friend Eva Bak to talk about what burnout actually looks like in our world—the mental load, the emotional labor, and the whole exhausting mess of trying to help people while drowning ourselves. We get into the duality of being HR (hello therapist and policy enforcer), the unspoken trauma of offboarding, and why community is the only thing keeping us semi-sane. If you’ve ever cried in a

Operating without trust in HR is almost IMPOSSIBLE.The even crazier part is that trust can be destroyed instantly if you say or do the wrong thing! I mean, I’ve never met a human being who says they love micromanagement. In this season finale, Minda Harts and I are dragging trust issues into the light! We’re dissecting her Seven Trust Languages, why “transparent” leadership feels like a bad magic trick, and how to rebuild trust after your org set it on fire. Remote teams, chaotic

2025/06/16

Look, we’ve all been there at this point:Your company claims it's “all about accessibility,” but somehow, employees still struggle to find answers to basic questions. Leadership preaches an open-door policy, but good luck getting a response anytime soon. And don’t even get me started on the “We’re ADA compliant!” flex like it’s some kind of gold medal when it’s actually the bare minimum! That’s why I brought in the brilliant friend Lia Seth, Director of People at Cylinder Health,

2025/06/09

I hate to say it, but your “amazing culture” might be a lie.Today, Latesha Byrd and I are ripping off the culture band-aid to expose what’s actually happening in your org! You know the drill: shiny values on the wall that nobody abides by, all-hands full of empty promises, and that lovely gaslighty feeling when leadership says “we’re family” but acts like a toxic ex. We’re explaining why “bring your whole self to work” is a scam if your culture is performative, how to spot and fix the

Look, I’ll be honest: most “leadership experts” lowkey make me want to throw my laptop into a pool. But Dr. Matt Poepsel? This man’s the REAL DEAL! Marine veteran, Ironman triathlete, PhD in psychology, and the actual godfather of talent optimization (no, really, he wrote the book on it)! So when he says leadership today is broken, you listen. Today, we’re dragging egos, calling out the “hero leader” BS, and answering the question employees are too scared to ask: Why are so many

You know, the kind where you’re expected to read minds, kiss ass, and perform miracles while leadership acts like promotions are some kind of Da Vinci Code situation.

2025/05/19

This should come as no surprise anymore, but your employees aren’t just asking for certainty these days, they’re BEGGING for it! And yet, most workplaces still operate like a Magic 8 Ball: "Ask again later," "Outlook not so good," and my personal favorite, "Cannot predict now." Cool, cool. So why do we keep acting shocked when people quit over unclear expectations, bad leadership, and the soul-crushing weight of "figure it out yourself" culture?

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: MONEY. 💸And who better to talk about money with than compensation guru Matt McFarlane? In this episode, we’re ripping apart everything you think you know about fair pay. Why do employees feel stiffed? Are pay gaps accidental or systemic? And why the hell is talking about salary still taboo? We’ll also be discussing why fair pay is still a myth at most companies, how to handle founders who treat compensation like a dark art, and what actual

Let’s get one thing straight: People Leaders are tired of companies pretending they care about equity while quietly rolling back DEI initiatives and gaslighting employees into thinking they’re the problem. So I brought in someone I admire DEEPLY, Cierra Gross, Founder of Caged Bird HR and Wrk Receipts, to drag corporate America’s favorite lies—and yes, it got spicy! We’re discussing why “accountability” is a corporate buzzword for “we’ll investigate ourselves and find no wrongdoing,” how Gen Z

Employees aren’t just asking for feedback—they’re begging for it. So why are we still serving them stale, twice-a-year performance reviews like it’s 1999? This week, I’m sitting down with Jessica DeVlieger to unpack why your team is secretly screaming, “Just tell me if I’m doing a good job!”—and how leaders keep missing the mark. We’re digging into: 🔥 Why employees ALWAYS know who’s underperforming before managers do (and the awkward truth about what happens next) 🔥 The #1 reason managers
