When people work hard to be great at their jobs, they often feel like they have to hide their personal problems, like dealing with loss, relationship changes, or personal setbacks. In jobs where you’re expected to be strong and capable, it's hard to show that you're struggling. This can make people feel alone and ashamed, especially those who are used to being the best in what they do.

 

In today’s episode, Dr. J.J. Peterson and co-host April Sunshine Hawkins talk with Ashley Menzies Babatunde, creator and host of No Straight Path, a podcast aimed at exploring the human stories behind success. Ashley dives into the importance of embracing our humanity in the workplace, acknowledging that setbacks and emotional challenges are a natural part of life. Listen in and find out why it's important to be honest about our hard times if we want to alleviate the loneliness and find connection and strength at work.
