313: You're Not Broken. The System Is.

Laurie sat down with Meg Bear and Amy Wilson on their podcast, the Meg & Amy Show, and the conversation was good enough that she wanted to share it with Punk Rock HR listeners too. They talk about financial freedom and what it actually buys you, and why Laurie thinks AI is taking the blame for problems that are really about childcare, housing, and a missing safety net. If you want Laurie's honest take on work, money, and what's really breaking people right now, this is the conversation. In this episode, you'll hear: Why most career advice is projection, and what people actually need instead How Laurie came to realize how much control she actually had over her own life and career Why financial freedom changes how you can show up at work Laurie's case for why childcare and housing, not AI, are the real source of workplace anxiety Laurie's answer to a listener dilemma about accepting a lesser role vs. pushing for severance An honest moment where Laurie asks herself whether the work has been worth it
