On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings listeners another powerful and heartfelt message from special guest, Gretchen Schoser. After 45 years in corporate HR tech, Gretchen Schoser’s world came crashing down in 2022 when burnout, grief, and loss collided — leading to a suicide attempt on Christmas Day. With the help of her wife and the 988 Lifeline, Gretchen chose to live — and she’s been transforming that decision into purpose ever since. Now the founder of Schoser Talent and Wellness Solutions and co-host of the award-winning mental-health podcast “Shit That Goes On in Our Heads,” Gretchen is helping individuals and workplaces embrace authenticity, boundaries, and joy. In this episode, she shares her winding journey from Columbine High School to corporate leadership, addiction recovery, entrepreneurship at 61, and rediscovering what it means to be human at work.
