Suits & Pajamas™

Not every leap lands on solid ground. In this deeply personal Suits & Pajamas episode, TJ Albert shares what happens when the leap leads to shaky territory and why the landing still matters.

She opens up about a role that looked great on paper but turned out to be filled with favoritism, exclusion, and professional sabotage. But even in the mess, she found lessons in resilience and growth. She also shares a story of rolling the dice on a lateral career move, with zero doubt in her ability to level up, and that’s exactly what she did.

From rocky transitions to smooth touchdowns, TJ uses a powerful airplane analogy to reframe how we think about progress and purpose.

🎧 Tune in and give yourself permission to pause.

"You can be grateful for the job and still be exhausted by it. Burnout doesn’t cancel your blessings—it just calls you to re-evaluate your boundaries." — TJ Albert

I rarely take time off (I know, I know...not ok). But I realized recently, I was nearing burnout! Why now? Thankfully, I'm not juggling the same intense global work hours - yet I was nearing exhaustion. And then it hit me - I may not be working global hours on the job, but I was starting to feel "on" 24/7 nonetheless. And that's when it hit me how much stress I've been under due to the trifecta of elder care, work and family obligations.  So, I'm doing a mini-series of sorts.

In this episode of Suits & Pajamas, I’m digging deeper on the caregiving side...the politicized crisis—especially in Black and Brown communities. We’ll talk about the consequences of our parents not preparing for retirement, the emotional and financial toll of eldercare, and the political threat being made against my parents (and many of yours).

You’ll hear real-world stats, race-specific insights, and why Social Security and Medicare—already lifelines for so many—are now under political threat. I’ll also share actionable tips, resources, and a reminder that you’re not alone, even if it feels like you're doing it all.

Whether you're bathing your mom between Zoom calls or figuring out Medicaid while making dinner—this one’s for you.

🎙️ Topics Covered:

• The Sandwich Generation explained
• How the retirement system failed our parents
• Why eldercare is a racial equity issue
• The toll of caregiving on mental and physical health
• What workplaces are missing—and what needs to change
• Real, practical tips for caregivers
• Self-care reminders for those doing everything!

Next week...career burnout! The red flags, silent flags and everything in between.

Remember when work actually ended at 5 PM, meetings required real conference rooms, and your biggest office drama was waiting 30 minutes for your document to print - only for the paper jam to destroy your entire morning? In this episode of Suits & Pajamas, we’re throwing it back to 90s office culture—before Slack, Zoom fatigue, and 24/7 accessibility turned us into human notification centers. We’re diving into:

• The lost art of the lunch break (when you could actually be off the clock).
• Conference room battles, overhead projectors, and the chaos of PowerPoint on transparency sheets.
• Watercooler debates over whether Titanic was overrated and who the real king of R&B was.
• Why today’s “always available” culture is ruining our sanity—and how to reclaim our time.

So, should we bring back the BEST of the 90s office era and ditch the worst of today’s hustle culture? Listen now, and let’s rethink what work-life balance really means.
