A Crying Shame

Today we’re getting into a topic that hits closer to home than most people want to admit - crying at work. I’m unpacking why emotions show up, how they get misunderstood, and what actually helps when things get teary. We’ll talk gender biases, emotional triggers, and why getting curious about tears can change the whole culture of a workplace. Whether you're a secret crier like me or someone who panics when emotions pop up in meetings, this episode will help you understand it all in a much more human way.
