Workplace trauma isn’t always obvious. It doesn’t just show up in big blow-ups or public conflicts. Sometimes it’s the subtle microaggressions, constant micromanagement, or silent exclusions that leave lasting scars. In this episode, Dr. Ree explores how these experiences affect us long after we leave a job, fueling burnout, imposter syndrome, and overperformance in new spaces. With insights from cyberpsychology, we’ll discuss how the digital workplace (emails, video calls, constant pings) amplifies these pressures and more importantly, how to heal. This episode is a reminder that you’re not alone and that protecting your mental health is leadership, too.

As parents, we share out of love: their names, their first steps, their first day of school signs. But in today’s world, even the most innocent posts can create a digital trail our kids didn’t ask for. Cybercriminals are using our special moments to gather details for things like identity theft and social engineering.

From birth announcements to “about me” boards, these little pieces of information can add up fast. In this episode of CTRL+ALT+REE, I’m breaking down:

• How hackers turn everyday details into big risks
• Why even harmless posts can reveal more than we think
• How to celebrate your child while protecting their privacy

As a parent, I understand but this is about raising awareness and ensuring our kids are safe online.

This isn’t just the story of earning a degree, t’s the story of showing up for yourself even when life tries to knock you off course. In this episode of CTRL+ALT+REE, I’m discussing my journey to becoming Dr. Ree. The detours, the delays, and the determination it took to get here. From pausing my program after a Crohn’s diagnosis to reapplying in 2023 while raising my son and working full-time, every step was a lesson in grace, patience, and courage. It’s not a perfect story; it’s a real one. My hope is that it reminds you that your dreams don’t expire, even if the timeline changes. You don’t have to be perfect, just stay consistent and patient.
