Episode 35: How Are We So Connected At Work, Yet Still So Lonely?
In this episode, Kyra tackles workplace loneliness, a topic that resonates with her personally, having experienced this on more than one occasion. One in five employees globally feels lonely at work, loneliness costs US employers roughly $154 billion annually, and the health risks are apparently the same as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Kyra takes the conversation global, exploring why the UK and Japan created government ministers for the problem, and what Denmark, France, and the Netherlands do differently. She closes with a view into what workplace loneliness actually looks like day to day, and offers some prompts for anyone sitting with that disconnection or anyone who’s been close enough to recognize it in someone else.

Episode 34: The Millennial Career Reckoning and What Comes Next
In this episode, Kyra explores one of the more frustrating contradictions of the Millennial career experience: a generation that seemingly did everything right is still, in many ways, struggling to feel like it paid off. Drawing on Glassdoor's 2026 Millennial Stability Stacking Report and Deloitte's Global Gen Z and Millennial Survey across 44 countries, she gets into why three-quarters of millennial workers are questioning their career paths right now, why burnout in this generation is outpacing every other group, and why the ground keeps shifting no matter how hard they work. She then takes Glassdoor's "stability stacking" framework and expands it to four internal dimensions of stability that go beyond skills and income to get at what sustainable, meaningful work actually feels like from the inside.

Episode 33: In the Age of AI, the Humans Are Still Here
In this episode, Kyra gets into AI from a human perspective. She acknowledges the real and justified fears (lately, it feels almost catastrophic), including the fact that some of the people who built these systems are among the most concerned about where they're heading. She touches on the good AI is doing in medicine, then spends the rest of the episode on the irreplaceable human qualities that a tool can’t yet replicate. From Japan's omotenashi to South Africa's ubuntu to Brazil’s jeitinho, Kyra explores what the world knows about what makes human-centered work matter, and why this uncertain, very pivotal AI moment might actually be an invitation to protect the best parts of who we are as people.
