In this episode, I open up about why I walked away from a job I held for over 18 years — a role that shaped my identity and gave me purpose. As a former federal employee, I share what civil service meant to me, why the decision to leave wasn’t easy, and what’s been happening behind the scenes for so many public servants.

But more than that, this is a conversation about humanity. About stripping away the job titles, political noise, and assumptions — and remembering what it means to simply be kind. To treat each other with respect. To live by that one golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated.
