Work and Home with Sean & Sasha

Sean and Sasha play a game using The Feelings Wheel, a tool that helps you find words for your emotions. They use the wheel to identify how certain songs make them feel and immediately see how useful it is in helping them uncover the depth and complexity of their own emotions.


Listen and play along! You can find The Feelings Wheel at feelingswheel.com and a playlist of the songs they used at https://bit.ly/workandhome_ep17. Share the episode to play with a friend and let Sean and Sasha know how it went at [email protected] or on IG @thisisworkandhome.

Sean and Sasha question and complicate traditional narratives around leadership. They find that the best leaders are constantly honing and developing their skills and that the range of leadership styles is as wide as the range of opportunities for leadership. Using a psychometric tool that analyzes workplace relationships and dynamics, they share their own personal leadership styles. What's your leadership style?

Sean and Sasha delve into the intricacies of self-advocacy. For them, it comes down to knowing what they want and need as well as effectively preparing for the moments they'll need to advocate for themselves. They also explore what can happen when advocacy goes wrong. What does self-advocacy mean for you?

Sean and Sasha reflect on some of their most embarrassing moments. From childhood memories to singing bloopers, they look back at how those moments made them feel and identify the lessons they've learned. What have you learned from your embarrassing moments?

Sean and Sasha look at legacy through the lens of the current discourse around confederate monuments and American history, pop culture, and their own personal heroes. They surface the value of being aware of the legacy you are leaving behind and how storytellers help to shape/revise legacies. Sean shares the legacy of Claude Shannon, "the father of information theory", who paved the way for the digital age but somehow very few us know his name (especially Sasha). 

What legacy are you leaving behind and how are you protecting it? Join the conversation on IG @thisisworkandhome!

Sean and Sasha discuss what rest means to them and why taking time to recharge is important. They explore ways to rest beyond sleep and uncover how the relationship between our productivity and self-worth can cause us to deprioritize rest when we need it the most. What does rest mean to you?

Sean and Sasha explore what it really means to level up. While Sean's more of a planner, Sasha lets her emotions guide her. However, they both agree leveling up is not as straightforward as it seems. What does leveling up mean to you? Join the conversation on instagram @thisisworkandhome!

Sean and Sasha discuss how they handle difficult conversations and share why they're worth having. While Sean pushes through awkwardness, fear, and uncertainty to find the value in difficult conversations, Sasha prefers to put them off.  Wait until you hear her story about "The Kindle"! How do you handle difficult conversations? How have they impacted your relationships? Join the conversation on instagram @thisisworkandhome!

Sean and Sasha define their spheres of influence and examine how power can broaden those spheres. No matter where we are -- at work, in our relationships, and even on social media; we all have influence but what really matters is how we use it.
