Whelmed Podcast
Forget the inspirational posters – we're building a supportive community where you can ditch the work mask, share the real you (even the slightly embarrassing parts), and find joy without having to explain why spreadsheets aren't as thrilling as brunch. Together, through honest conversations we'll peel back the layers, celebrate wins (big and small – because let's face it, surviving Monday is a win), and learn from each other's journeys. Hey, it takes a village (and a good therapist, but that's a different app).
