We speak with Dr. Ethan Levine to explore the psychological toll of return-to-office mandates, examine why work-life balance feels more elusive than ever, and discuss practical strategies for protecting your mental health while advancing your career.

Join us as we break down the stigma around workplace mental health and empower listeners to prioritize their wellbeing without sacrificing professional success.

In this candid and insightful episode, we sit down with Pam and Amy from the Canned Podcast to explore one of the most challenging professional experiences many of us will face: getting fired. Far from just another career setback, losing a job can trigger a complex web of emotions, self-doubt, and uncertainty about the future.

Pam and Amy bring their expertise and personal experiences to discuss the often-overlooked psychological impact of termination. They dive deep into the mental health aspects of job loss, from the initial shock and shame to the longer-term effects on self-esteem and identity. The conversation explores how our sense of worth can become entangled with our professional roles, and what happens when that foundation suddenly shifts. 

Beyond the emotional journey, Pam and Amy provide practical guidance on the immediate decisions and options available during the separation period. Whether you're currently facing this situation or want to be prepared for the unexpected, this episode provides valuable insights on turning this challenging chapter into an opportunity for growth and reinvention. 

Join us for an honest, compassionate discussion that removes the stigma around getting fired and empowers listeners with both the emotional tools and practical knowledge needed to navigate this difficult but often transformative experience.

In this episode, we’re talking about something we don’t often hear enough about—the emotional aftermath of disaster. When hurricanes, fires, or other large-scale emergencies strike, the physical damage is easy to see—but the mental and emotional toll is just as real, and often much harder to navigate.

Joining us today is Dr. Tom Hlenski, a dedicated leader in the American Red Cross Disaster Mental Health program, based in Long Island, New York. With years of experience supporting individuals and communities through unimaginable moments, Dr. Hlenski offers a deep look into how disaster affects mental health—and how trained Red Cross volunteers step in to provide comfort, guidance, and a path toward healing.

From immediate psychological first aid to longer-term recovery and finding a sense of normalcy again, Dr. Hlenski walks us through the mission, methods, and humanity behind the Red Cross's disaster mental health efforts.

Stay tuned—this conversation is both eye-opening and heartening, and it reminds us that recovery isn’t just about rebuilding homes, but also restoring hope.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into choice tech — not just the tools businesses use, but how they choose them. Because in a world filled with platforms that promise to boost productivity, streamline collaboration, and automate the busywork, what often gets overlooked is the bigger picture: the long-term impact of those choices on your team, your culture, and your bottom line.

And sometimes, the tools meant to help… end up doing more harm than good.

To unpack all of this, I’m joined by Emily Pabst, founder of RemakeTheRules.com. Emily works with organizations to rethink the systems that shape their work — and that includes making smarter, more human-centered decisions about technology. She’s seen firsthand how the right tech can empower teams — and how the wrong choices can quietly undermine them. 

We’ll talk about the decision-making process behind adopting new tools, the warning signs of tech overload, and how companies can align their tech stacks with their actual values — not just their ambitions. Let’s get into it.
