Have A Seat...Conversations With Women In The Workplace
A lighthearted but heartfelt conversation with women about the work they do and the journey that brought them to pursue their career path. As of June 2025, Have A Seat…Conversations with Women in the Workplace has officially wrapped after five incredible years of stories, insights, and community. While I’m no longer actively producing new episodes, the full catalogue of conversations are still available on your favorite podcast platform and on this website. I’d love for you to have a seat and take a listen to conversations with women in the workplace.

"If I had a mission for this podcast, it was this: to hold space for the voices of women in the workplace — in all their messy, brilliant, powerful, still-evolving glory. And each of you helped me do that."

“Think of your career as a mosaic, it’s not going to be this linear climb up the corporate ladder that it once was, you are going to have experiences that take you in one direction, that add color to your mosaic, and that’s OK.

How do we help the next generation of women thrive in today’s workplace? In this inspiri...

"If a plant doesn’t thrive in the garden, we don’t blame the plant—we look at the environment. It’s the same in the workplace. We need to ask: What needs to cha...

"You don’t have to be composed 100% of the time. You don’t have to be the steady one, the cheerful one, the “office therapist” every single day. You can be messy. You can be human. And you can still be amazing at your job."
In this heartfelt solo episode, I get real about a part of the admin role we don’t talk about enough: emotional labor.
