Employee turnover is often treated as a normal part of doing business. But what if it’s one of the most expensive decisions an organization makes?

In this episode of Sip on This, we explore a question every business owner and leader eventually faces: Is it cheaper to replace an employee or develop them?

Research from the Society for Human Resource Management suggests that replacing an employee can cost six to nine months of their salary, and in many mid-level roles, that number climbs to 100–150% of annual pay once recruiting, training, lost productivity, and team disruption are factored in.

Yet many organizations default to replacement instead of development.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The real financial cost of employee turnover

• Why employees actually leave organizations

• The hidden cultural damage caused by constant rehiring• How career coaching inside organizations can increase engagement and retention

• The leadership mindset shift required to build stronger teams.

Because turnover may feel normal — but it’s expensive. And sometimes the most costly decision a leader makes is failing to invest in the people they already have.

If you're a business owner, manager, or HR leader thinking about retention strategy, this conversation may change how you view development.

Sip on that.

In our first act, we build a life.
In our second act, we build a relationship with the person living it.

For decades we show up for careers, children, partners, and expectations. But at some point, a quiet question surfaces:

What about me?

In this episode of Sip on This, Deirdre Haggerty explores:

• First Act vs Second Act identity
• Why self-compassion predicts resilience more than self-esteem
• How your inner dialogue determines your growth
• Why alignment replaces achievement in midlife

This is not about reinventing for applause.
It’s about coming home to yourself.

Sip on this ☕️ A grounded conversation on identity shifts, alignment, and what reinvention really looks like. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or quietly outgrowing who you used to be… this Second Act conversation was made for you. Sip on this… what if the feeling of being “behind” isn’t failure — but the beginning of alignment?

In this episode of Sip on This, ICF-certified coach Deirdre Haggerty explores the myth of invisible timelines, the quiet pressure of comparison culture, and what’s really happening when you feel stuck in life, career, or relationships. We talk about nervous system fatigue, identity shifts, and the small, honest decisions that begin reinvention — without forcing change or chasing unrealistic motivation. If you’re navigating a second act, questioning your direction, or simply feeling disconnected from who you used to be… this conversation is for you.☕ Topics include:

Why feeling “behind” is often a sign of growth

Nervous system fatigue and alignment

Reinvention at any decade of life

Small aligned choices that shift identity
