    Ep. 8: You Belong Here (Even If Your Exclamation Points Are Aggressive!)

    Jeff, Toneille, Roxy, and Sarah warm up by swapping stories about their first-ever jobs—from celebrity golf caddying and movie theater popcorn crimes, to Circuit City nostalgia and an accidental stint as a “strawberry farmer.” (Yes, really.) Then things get real. The conversation turns to how our personal norms—shaped by childhood, culture, and early work experiences—follow us into the workplace. What happens when “different” gets mislabeled as “wrong”? How do small things (like an “excitement mark” 👀) affect belonging? And why does assimilation still sneak into workplaces pretending to be “professionalism”? Expect thoughtful insights, vulnerable stories, and plenty of laughs as the team unpacks culture add vs. culture fit, leadership courage, curiosity, and why authenticity is actually a productivity strategy. Wise, funny, and just the right amount of unfiltered—this episode of People Gon People is for anyone who’s ever wondered if they truly belong at work (spoiler: you do).

    Ep. 7: Leaders, Feelings & Other Scary Workplace Topics

    People Gon’ People is back—and this episode dives straight into the delicious chaos of leading humans through uncertain times. Join Sarah, Jeff, Toneille, and Roxy as they unpack the tension between “just get it done” energy and “I’m‑one‑deep‑breath‑away‑from-a-spiral” vibes. From navigating politics seeping into the workplace, to holding space without trying to fix everyone’s entire life, to acknowledging that sometimes adults just need Play‑Doh and a hula hoop… this crew keeps it real, relatable, and hilariously heartfelt. If you’ve ever wondered how leaders can be human and still lead, how to support teams without losing your own mind, or why your nervous system needs a moment, this episode is your jam. Tune in for candor, compassion, light woo‑woo, and the reminder we all need: people gon’ people—and that’s exactly why we’re here.
