The brilliant Stephanie Lemek is joining me in the studio this week. Stephanie left In-house HR after spending 16 years working in various industries. Why? Like many of us who took the time to reflect on our HR careers during the pandemic, she realised corporate HR was not serving her gifts as an HR professional.
Today, Stephanie runs her own HR consultancy and spends time on a pet project she likes to call The Wounded Workforce, where she helps HR professionals recognise employees experiencing trauma by first recognising their trauma. You do not want to miss this episode.
HR professionals experience trauma in the workplace, and often they brush it aside to move on to the following work task; as time passes, that trauma builds until it explodes and shows up in your body and behaviour in ways that make you have to take a step back to address the trauma.
Stephanie and I take some time to talk about our workplace traumas and why the work we both do matters at this time.
Stephanie's resources:
- What Happened To You? - Dr. Bruce Perry & Oprah Winfrey
- The Deepest Well - Nadine Burke-Harris

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
