A proposito di questo titolo

 A podcast obsessed with helping GenX(ish) leaders, who should be at the top of their careers but don't feel like they are. The b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck podcast isn't another boring, stuffy leadership podcast. And it doesn't bring you a gazillion guests who had the guts to "ef" the 9-5, seemingly the only answer to truly being happy in your career. Instead, this podcast is focused on helping you continue to rise in your career, but doing it without compromising everything else - your family, your health, or maybe even who you are. Erin, a former corporate CEO turned Authentic Leadership expert, teams up with her good friend, Nicole, an ivy league grad and professional do-gooder. Nicole lays it all on the line to share her real-time work highs, lows, contemplations, and sometimes barely believable stories. And Erin coaches and cajoles her (really, you) along the way...all in the name of helping you feel less insane, more inspired. Erin also interviews authentic leaders and experts who are focused on giving you the stories, advice, and tips that will have you making small, creative changes that will help you contend with and catapult your career. Grab a drink, put your feet up, and come along for a journey that will involve career advice, unsanitized thoughts, leadership lessons, important guests, and who the hell knows what else. b Cause work DOESN'T have to suck.710280 Economia Ricerca del lavoro Successo personale

    303: How to Break Your Toxic Attachment to Work
    Jan 20 2026

    This episode is for anyone who swears they're "fine" while secretly letting work run their entire nervous system.

    Erin and Nicole get honest about toxic attachment to jobs, the martyr complex disguised as responsibility, and why being the most dependable person in the room isn't the flex you think it is.

    If you've ever said "I'll just do it," treated every email like a five-alarm fire, or confused being needed with being valuable, this one might hit close to home.

    Here's what you'll hear:

    1. Why a toxic job isn't always the problem, sometimes it's your attachment to being needed

    2. How "I'll just do it" turns into martyrdom and quietly wrecks teams and leaders

    3. The difference between being responsible and absorbing everything like it's your fault

    4. Why not every urgent thing is a crisis and why you're not the crisis manager

    5. What it actually looks like to care about your work without letting it run your nervous system

      "You could work in the most functional place, you could own the business, and still have a toxic attachment to the role you have."

      "We often confuse responsibility with absorption. Just because you own something doesn't mean it has to become your inner essence."

      "The things that make us feel safe are sometimes the very things that make us appear inflexible."

      "You are not the crisis manager unless your job is literally crisis manager. Not everything urgent is a crisis."

    • 302: How to Think Like a Futurist (Especially in a Hot Mess World) with Cecily Sommers

      302: How to Think Like a Futurist (Especially in a Hot Mess World) with Cecily Sommers
      Jan 6 2026

      What does a futurist actually do, and how can understanding change make leadership and life feel less overwhelming?

      In this episode, Erin talks with futurist Cecily Sommers about how change really works, why uncertainty feels so intense right now, and how leaders can stay grounded when planning horizons keep shrinking.


      Here's what you'll hear:

      1. A futurist studies change, not to predict outcomes, but to understand patterns.


      2. The future is not figure-out-able. It is followable.


      3.All change moves in cycles of order, disorder, and re-order.


      4. Understanding change lowers anxiety and increases agency.


      5. Leaders need shorter horizons, more experimentation, and stronger inner stability.

          "This was the first time that I had learned this lesson that working harder wasn't necessarily the answer to success."

          "Being a great leader or being a great successful person in business or in what you do isn't necessarily about following a rubric or doing it the same way."

          "A humility moment is essentially a story about a time when you screwed up."

          "As soon as you share a humility moment, immediately your trust radar sort of goes down and they think, well, if they told me that and they didn't have to, they're probably not hiding other things from me as well."
