"You don’t have to be composed 100% of the time. You don’t have to be the steady one, the cheerful one, the “office therapist” every single day. You can be messy. You can be human. And you can still be amazing at your job."

In this heartfelt solo episode, I get real about a part of the admin role we don’t talk about enough: emotional labor.

From holding space for overwhelmed coworkers to staying composed while managing total chaos, admin professionals often carry the invisible weight of everyone else’s emotions — all while keeping their own in check. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Tune in as I unpack what emotional labor looks like in our world, how it shows up day after day, the toll it can quietly take, and how to start caring for yourself in the process. It’s honest, validating, and a must-listen for anyone who’s ever smiled through the stress and said, “It’s fine.”

“We’re not just welcoming someone to the team — we’re helping them feel like they actually belong there.”

In this solo episode of Have a Seat, we're talking onboarding — but not from the new hire's perspective. Nope, this one’s for the admin professionals who actually make onboarding work.

From scheduling smarter 1:1s and dropping office culture cheat codes, to giving real campus tours (yes, the bathroom matters) and sharing local lunch secrets, I’m spilling the admin-side tea on how to make someone feel welcome and equipped.

Whether you're in the office or onboarding from afar, this episode is your reminder that when it comes to first impressions, we’re the ones who make it make sense.

"Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it that makes all the difference."

Ever had one of those service experiences that just stuck with you? In this week’s mini episode of Have a Seat, I share a recent interaction with a rental car company that got me thinking about the power of perception—and how admin professionals are often the first impression, the voice, and the vibe of the entire organization.

Whether you’re answering the phone, drafting an email, or greeting a guest, how you show up matters (even on a random Tuesday at 4:30). Tune in for a quick, honest reminder of why your presence as an admin pro carries more weight than you think—and how stellar communication can leave a lasting impact.
