Meet the Human Behind the Pod | BTS 01

Описание: This Between the Seasons episode marks the start of a new chapter for Why Does It Feel So Wrong to Be Human at Work?

Hosts Pinaki Kathiari and Chris Lee introduce Bree Bartos, the new Executive Producer and Editor of Human at Work and Marketing Manager at Local Wisdom. Before diving into Bree’s story, Pinaki and Chris share what listeners can expect from these new, weekly Between the Seasons episodes.

Bree then opens up about her path into marketing and storytelling, her experience being laid off alongside her husband, and the shock of losing not just a job, but a sense of identity. Together, they reflect on burnout, rest, and why so many of us tie our worth to our work.

In this episode, they discuss:
-Why Between the Seasons exists and what listeners can expect
-The value of unscripted, honest conversations
-What it feels like to be laid off without closure
-How work can quietly become identity
-The importance of rest, reflection, and reconnecting with yourself
-Why staying human at work starts with empathy

It’s a grounding, vulnerable start to Between the Seasons and a reminder that behind every role, title, and podcast is a human first.
