Work Therapy | The Sunday Sessions is the podcast that lives in the gap between who you are and what your LinkedIn says.
Every other Sunday, host Katie Martin talks to people doing interesting things, those who've been through something real and come out better for it, and the coaches, practitioners and slightly left-of-centre humans helping others do the same. Human design, things that sound woo woo until they quietly change everything.
One question connects all of it: how does going deeper within yourself make you better at work? People intelligence is the skill that moves everything. Nobody's measuring it yet. We're starting here.
BAD ON PAPER. BADASS IN REAL LIFE. | RETHINKING IMPOSTER SYNDROME
"You look really bad on paper."
That's what a recruiter told Anita Gatto, now CEO of House of Harlow, after hearing about her extraordinary career.
And he wasn't entirely wrong. Her journey was anything but conventional.
This week, my friend Anita joins me to rethink imposter syndrome. What if some of the things we see as weaknesses are actually the qualities that make us better leaders?
We talk about self-doubt, intuition, humility, taking chances and why caring deeply about people might be one of the greatest strengths you can bring to business.
Imposter syndrome isn't something we need to get rid of, we just need to rethink it.

I Was Moving So Fast, I Was Missing My Life | Nick’s Story
Nick Stenson was running businesses, travelling constantly, building his own brand and doing what he’d always done: moving fast and getting shit done.
Then he found out he had cancer. This is Nick’s story.
We talk about the surreal Sunday night he discovered something was seriously wrong, trying to schedule a business meeting around cancer surgery, working through chemotherapy, losing control of the things he thought mattered and what happened when life finally forced him to stop.
Nick came out the other side with something he didn’t expect: a completely different relationship with his life.
Today he’s in remission, in love, running his company and happier than he was before.

Ego is Expensive | Humility, Hope + Leadership Today
There's a big difference between needing to be right and needing to get to the right outcome.
This week I'm talking to Emma Robertson, CEO, longtime champion of women in technology and one of the clearest voices on leadership I know.
We talk about ego, humility, diversity of thought, why culture is never "done", women in technology, AI, and why our job as leaders isn't to have all the answers.
We just need to be really clear about the problem we're trying to solve, bring the right people into the room, and be prepared to let go of our own answer.
And, when the world feels particularly uncertain, remember that leaders also need to be dealers in hope. ❤️

An Introduction to ASTROLOGY FOR BUSINESS | A Different Kind of Intelligence
What if some of the most interesting inputs into modern business are actually ancient?
Meet Michael Nourse, my astrologer, good friend and secret weapon for the last eight years.
Michael has spent decades studying Yogic astrology, rooted in ancient Indian traditions. He has almost no digital footprint, no website and works through referrals only. His clients include CEOs, Silicon Valley executives, scientists and Hollywood A-listers, and around 70% of his work is business related.
This is not horoscopes, crystal balls and wigs. 😂
Michael works with complex, highly individual maps built around timing, patterns and cycles. Give him your exact birth date, time and place and he reads a map specific to you. Give him the incorporation details of a business and he can map that too.
We recorded for two hours, and this episode is really just an introduction to a much bigger idea:
Could ASTROLOGY have a place in business?
We talk about human patterns, timing, intuition, leadership, collaboration, decision-making and why some very successful people quietly use astrology as another input into how they navigate what comes next.
Different systems. Different patterns. Different places to look for answers. 👀

How Much Do You Actually Know About Yourself?
Human Design, Leadership & How We’re Wired
How much do you actually know about yourself?
Not your job title. Your personality test. Your strengths assessment.
You.
Dr. Lauren Borden, PhD, PCC is a holistic leadership coach with a PhD in industrial-organizational psychology. She brings together the science of human behavior with intuition, leadership coaching and Human Design.
And she’s coached me.
What I love about Human Design is how individual it gets, incredibly quickly. How you make decisions. Where your energy comes from. What you naturally bring that someone else might not.
Understanding how you’re wired is the key to leadership for me.

What Place Does Soul Have in Business? Quietly... Everything
The word soul comes with a lot of labels, woo-woo, spirituality but to me, your soul is simply your humanity.
Your values, your beliefs, your integrity, your intuition, your resilience, your empathy, your energy.
Every one of us has our own version of these things. They evolve throughout our lives, and they shape how we show up every single day.
In this episode, I'm joined by former Microsoft and GitHub leadership executive, executive coach and author Rachel Salzberg for a conversation that challenges the way we think about leadership.
Rachel believes the way we work and lead needs to evolve. Her message is simple: leadership is an inside job. Through her ReSoul Revolution, she's on a mission to connect like-minded leaders who believe that changing ourselves is where changing organisations begins.
Together we explore:
Why leadership starts with your inner state.
What "soul" really means in a business context.
Why your energy sets the tone for your team.
How calm and clarity become a leadership advantage.
Why becoming a better leader starts with becoming a better human.
Meet Rachel
Rachel Salzberg is a former Microsoft and GitHub leadership executive, executive coach, author of The ReSoul Revolution and founder of ReSoul Labs.

Why trust earns you the right to be direct.
How psychological safety shapes culture.
Why the best teams don't avoid difficult conversations. They know how to have them.

Is Your Defensiveness Getting in the Way of Your Success?
Most of us think we're protecting ourselves.
The reality is we're often making it harder to build trust, lead people and work well together.
We all get defensive. The question is whether we notice it.
In this episode, we unpack the five defensive stances we all fall into, why awareness is the first step towards change, and how becoming just a little less defensive can transform the way we work with other people.
I'm joined by Rich Watkins, someone I've known for nearly 20 years and one of the most thoughtful people I know when it comes to how humans work together. Rich has helped thousands of leaders and teams build stronger relationships, navigate conflict and collaborate more effectively.

Still Working Through It
Work Therapy | The Sunday Sessions is about the stuff that doesn't usually make it onto the polished, 'professional' version of you, and why it's actually one of your greatest assets.
So lucky to chat openly with my amazing friend Amy. HR leader, mother of two, one of the warmest and most fearless people I know and someone who has been through the kind of thing that changes you forever.
We've known each other for over 20+ years. Two unconventional parenting journeys, two different kinds of hard, and through all of it, a version of life keeps going. Honest, warm, and a lot more where this came from. Part 1.

WTF IS THIS?
This is Work Therapy | The Sunday Sessions. I'm Katie Martin, and I've been running agencies for 24+ years. I'm also 12 years sober and the mum of a disabled boy. None of that is on my LinkedIn. All of it is why I'm here.
This podcast is about the stuff that doesn't make it onto the polished version of you, and why it's actually your greatest professional asset. Every other Sunday, I talk to someone who's lived a life, or changed a life and asks how it made them better at work.
First up is my good friend Luke Norton who got long COVID, hit rock bottom and came out the other side doing something he calls Imaginationade. It's deeper and weirder than coaching. You'll see what I mean.
Let's go.
