Welcome to Please Mute Your Trauma, the podcast for anyone who has ever been told that people are their organization's greatest asset while simultaneously feeling completely invisible.

Hosted by Tiffany Collins, Navy veteran, HR professional, doctoral researcher, and recovering overthinker, this show explores the messy intersection of trauma, dignity, meaningful work, workplace culture, and what it actually means to be human at work.

Each episode blends humor, storytelling, research, and real-life workplace experiences to unpack the things many organizations don't talk about: psychological safety, organizational betrayal, burnout, identity, leadership, belonging, and why so many employees spend more energy surviving work than finding meaning in it.

If you've ever replayed a meeting in your head, questioned your worth because of a performance review, survived a toxic workplace, or wondered why a pizza party somehow became a management strategy, you're in the right place.

Because organizations don't have a people problem.

They have a humanity problem.

And work becomes meaningful when dignity is protected.
