Ep. 88 Faith, Tech, and Boldness: Tammy’s Journey from HR to Empowering People Through Technology

August 22, 2025 • Heidi Schalk • Episode 88

In this episode, Tammy shares how her unexpected journey into technology and HR turned into a passion for helping organizations focus on what truly matters, their people. From navigating male-dominated industries early in her career to launching her own consulting business, Tammy opens up about the challenges, fears, and faith that shaped her along the way. Join us as we dive into the intersection of faith, technology, and human resources, and discover what it really takes to show up boldly in business and life.

Tammy Castro knows the struggle of HR technology—because she’s lived it. Before becoming an expert, she was the one navigating HR systems that promised efficiency but often created more headaches. Now, she’s on a mission to bridge the gap between technology and the people it’s meant to serve.

As the author of Shiny Objects, Tammy challenges leaders to rethink how they implement HR systems —ensuring technology elevates, not eliminates, human connection in the workplace.

With over 30 years in HR tech, Tammy has seen organizations chase new tools while overlooking the people they serve. Through her writing, consulting, and speaking, she empowers HR and business leaders to realign their systems with their values—because at the end of the day, technology should work for people, not the other way around.

Tammy brings real-world insights, a refreshing mix of honesty, humor and wisdom to every conversation, helping organizations create workplaces where both technology and human connection thrive.
