In this special episode of What the Heck is Happening in HR?, Kelley invites listeners to pause and reflect—by opening the cupboard.
What begins as a story about mismatched mugs turns into a powerful metaphor for our careers, relationships, and life experiences. From chipped cups that carry the weight of difficult conversations to matching dish sets symbolizing seasons of stability, Kelley explores how every item in our cupboard tells a story. And just like in HR—or life—it’s not about having everything perfectly aligned. It’s about what those moments taught us, how they shaped us, and who we’ve become because of them.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if their path was too messy or their career too unconventional. Kelley reminds us: growth is in the cracks, beauty is in the memory, and value is in the people around the table.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
