HR wasn’t meant to live in the land of paperwork, policy policing, and endless “urgent” requests. Yet too often, HR pros find themselves stuck in tactical firefighting instead of doing the work that actually drives business forward.

In this episode, I walk through the evolution of HR—from the old personnel days, to compliance-heavy HR, to the promise of the HR Business Partner model, to the future of work we’re supposed to be shaping. I share why so many HR teams are still buried in the weeds, how organizations benefit from keeping HR “on the back burner,” and how saying yes to the wrong things keeps us small.

Most importantly, I’ll give you practical steps HR pros can take day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year to reclaim the strategic role you were hired for. Plus, I’ll share a personal story from my own career that shows exactly how easy it is to get pulled into the tactical trap—and how to break out of it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to be a true business partner, not just a fixer,” this episode will give you the tools—and the fire—you need to start shifting today.

If I could go back and sit down with 18-year-old me, I’d have a lot to say. She was doing her best, but she was also stuck—people-pleasing, picking the wrong partners, ignoring her worth, and thinking she had to stay where life had placed her.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 10 pieces of advice I wish I’d known back then—wisdom learned through messy mistakes, heartbreak, reinvention, and a whole lot of courage.

These aren’t sugar-coated affirmations. They’re straight-up, big-sister truths about self-worth, money, relationships, health, boundaries, and boldness—things I learned the hard way so maybe you don’t have to.

Whether you’re 18 or 60, there’s something here that will nudge you toward a braver, freer version of yourself.

Their paths to success look nothing alike, and yet we often judge those who struggle without knowing their story. In this episode, we dig into how childhood shapes our future, why empathy matters, and what we can do to stop judging and start helping.
