🎧 In this heartfelt and honest episode of Thrive and ShineHR (Episode 49), I reflect on the transition happening in the podcast—saying “see you later” (not goodbye!) to my amazing co-host, Katherine. It still feels bittersweet, but I have no doubt she’ll pop back in for guest appearances in the future.

This episode, recorded fresh off Valentine’s Day ❤️, is all about reigniting passion—in our work, in our lives, and in how we show up for ourselves and others.

I dive into five key strategies to help us fan theflames of motivation, starting with the non-negotiables: self-awareness, emotional regulation, and yes, even AI (because let’s be real, it can help us be more efficient if we use it right!).

And because I can’t resist a good metaphor, I remind everyone to put on their own oxygen mask first ✈️—wecan’t support others if we’re running on empty. So, I challenge you: where can you take action today to move toward your best self? 🌟

We also tackle:

· Boundaries and the power of saying NO—becauseself-care isn’t selfish.

· Continuous learning and curiosity—stayingopen to change keeps us ahead of the game.

· Embracing vulnerability and authenticity—becausepretending to have it all figured out? Exhausting.

· The magic of relationships and collaboration—HRisn’t a solo act, and we thrive when we lift each other up.

At the end of the day, this episode is an invitation: HRprofessionals, let’s reignite our flame 🔥. Let’s take theseinsights and bring fresh energy to our work, our teams, and most importantly, ourselves. If this resonated with you, let’s keep the conversation going—download, rate, and review the podcast, and share it with someone whoneeds a little inspiration today.
