Terrie Lupberger, ICF Master Certified Coach and author of "Uncommon Wisdom at Work," spent seven years writing a book that kept teaching her what she wasn't ready to learn in year one. She opens up about the collective myths we live by—that more is better, that separation protects us, that our worth equals what we produce—and how these invisible stories create endless suffering at work.

This conversation explores why we over-effort instead of asking for help, how to hold the paradox of wanting boldness while needing grace, and what it means to declare satisfaction without giving up on growth. From toxic positivity to fundamental well-being, Terrie reveals why bringing our whole humanity to work isn't soft—it's the hardest skill there is.
