    3. Push Through Or Push Back

    Is pushing through always the answer? Or have we confused perseverance with pressure? In this episode Brittney is joined in the lounge by APAC Learning & Development Associate Lem Gallogo, exploring the tension between resilience and rest. Through opposing perspectives, they examine how grit can empower growth, but also how it can normalize exhaustion. A thoughtful look at redefining success in a way that’s sustainable, not sacrificial.

    2. How Long Did It Actually Take?

    Why do we avoid the one task that’s actually the easiest to finish? In this solo episode, Hayley challenges our tendency to overinflate effort, unpacking why the thing we dread for hours often takes just minutes to complete.

    1. Team Culture

    In this roundtable, we’re pulling back the curtain on what “team culture” really means and why hiring for a perfect “fit” sometimes creates more sameness than strength. Joined by members of our L&D crew and a voice from Recruiting, we dig into culture bias, personality mix, and the magic that happens when teams are built to thrive on differences. This isn’t just about coexistence, it’s about creating environments where unique perspectives make each other better.

    12. Full Curve Moment

    What did we learn this season and what are we still figuring out? In this Season 2 recap, Brittney and Hayley reflect on the stories, surprises, and standout moments that shaped the last half of the year in the lounge. From mom guilt to mental health, first-time fatherhood to grief and growth, we revisit the themes that resonated and share what’s still on our hearts as we continue navigating the curve. Because progress doesn’t mean having it all figured out, it just means we’re still showing up.

    11. Holiday Blues

    Is it possible to feel down during the “happiest time of the year”?

    10. Sleep Is Self-Care

    If we know rest is essential, why do we treat it like a luxury? In this follow-up to our Season 1 episode on stress management with Martial, Brittney enters the conversation — this time focusing on sleep, recovery, and the mental noise that keeps so many of us wired and tired. From night time overthinking to unhealthy hustle habits, this episode is about redefining rest as a non-negotiable part of taking care of yourself. Because burnout doesn’t just show up during the day — and neither should self-care.

  7. 9. The Dream Job Myth

    10/30/2025

    9. The Dream Job Myth

    Is the “dream job” even real — or is it just another pressure we put on ourselves? In this episode, Brittney is joined by Community Associate Kalee Payne to unpack the myth of the perfect career, the unspoken compromises behind professional success, and what it means to redefine ambition on your own terms. Whether you're climbing the ladder, pivoting paths, or simply questioning what’s next, this conversation is a reminder that your worth isn’t tied to your title — and fulfilment might not look like what you expected.

    8. Mom Guilt

    Can you be a great mom and still chase big dreams? In this episode, Billie & Amber dive into the guilt so many mothers carry — not just from trying to do it all, but from daring to want more. They explore the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” what it means to break away from traditional expectations, and how ambition and motherhood aren’t opposites — they’re both parts of who you are.
