Dr. Laura reflects on nearly 150 episodes of Where Work Meets Life™ and welcomes us to season seven with a personal message reflecting on the journey that led her here in her exploration of the intersection of work and life. She shares why topics such as toxic leadership, healthy workplace cultures, leadership development, and the future of work continue to matter, while giving us a peek into thought-provoking conversations ahead. She also introduces a new community designed to support those recovering from toxic workplaces, reaffirming her commitment to helping people create healthier, more meaningful work lives.
Looking beyond the workplace, Dr. Laura also shares why this season will expand into conversations about spiritual well-being, human connection, and what it truly means to thrive. She discusses the roles purpose, consciousness, and compassion play in our overall health. She highlights upcoming guests such as Celeste Warren, author and DEI thought leader, Jay Abbasi, expert on leadership and burnout, and Fab Morvan, formerly of 80s pop band Milli Vanilli. With warmth, curiosity, and hope, Dr. Laura invites us to join her for another season dedicated to helping people become healthier in their careers and create lives filled with greater meaning and freedom.
"If I can help more people be inspired, be better humans, raise better humans, and have healthier work lives, then I've had an impact." - Dr. Laura
