How much does your work environment really matter? More than you might think.

Erica and Zoë take a deep dive into the role environment plays in career satisfaction and success. It's not just about the job title or company name—it's about where you feel alive and can truly thrive. This episode gets into how the right setting fuels your growth and performance, and how the wrong one can feel like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Join the conversation as they unpack the nuances of environment, offering insights into how to identify what you need to flourish at work. From the physical space to the cultural vibe, every element has the potential to support or stifle your professional journey.

In this conversation:

• The underestimated power of environmental fit

• Tools to audit your past environments for clues

• How to design your ideal work environment

• Real stories of transformation through environmental shifts

• The impact of pace and space on your energy and creativity
