The Work We Carry
Welcome to The Work We Carry.
We often ask what people do for a living, but rarely about what that living does to them. This podcast explores the layers of the workforce through some really beautiful human stories. From those who hold space for our heaviest endings and health crises, to the people who curate our spaces of deep rest and even celebration, we dive into the unexpected impact of our labour.
Join us for real stories, honest insights, and a look at the invisible imprints, wonder, and weight that people carry home when the "shift" ends.
