Issue No. 10 | The things we carry, the things we keep, the things we take care of and what they reveal about our emotional world. We all carry things with us—physical objects, generational moods like millennial melancholy, even feedback from a colleague. It’s part of what makes us who we are. And who we are is everything in how we approach and experience the world.

Issue No. 9 | What if you could be the archaeologist of your own life right now? Our cofounder, Courtney Branson, explores the personal and collective experiences of generations at work by examining art, caves, and books. It's a look at what binds us together and the individual legacies we leave behind. And yes, there's still time to write your mythology.

When individual performance falters, the answer isn’t clear-cut. It’s buried under company quirks and constraints, team dynamics, and personal realities. This manager guide walks through scenarios like role elimination, skills mismatch, overleveling, and values misalignment to unearth the considerations, traps, and answer the question—Should I coach or not? Because deciding to let someone go deserves care lest you erode a culture under the tyranny of competition and fear.

Episode 8 of Dear EverMore is a must listen for any leader or manager who wants to know how to talk to their team with empathy when the news cycle is tough. We tackle the external structures, systems, and situations influencing workplace policies and the collective mood. It's a call for leaders to acknowledge that politics is in everything and resources on how to respond with care when the world gets heavy.

How bias, secrecy, and old pay systems sustain inequality - and how we can rebuild compensation around dignity, transparency, and trust.

Episode 7 of Dear EverMore tackles an emotional topic—what’s wrong with feedback at work. Feedback often feels hidden or manipulative in workplaces, leading to harmful cycles; true growth requires honest self‑knowledge, discerning personal feedback from others’ projections, and giving feedback from a place of abundance and intentionality.

Episode 4 of Dear EverMore dives into the murky intentions of performance reviews and why they're not a reliable exercise. We talk about the anxieties and impossibilities of using reviews to serve competing needs like compliance, compensation, retention, and development. With so much on the line, everyone becomes a performer.

Episode 3 of Dear EverMore dives into the thin line between company culture and cults. It's a conversation guided by Courtney Branson based on experiences growing up in a religious sect and later becoming a culture designer. In particular, what happens when belonging depends on agreeing with certain values, behaviors, and traditions?

Episode 1 of Dear EverMore introduces a new founder-led podcast that explores how work shapes our humanity, identity, and futures. Season one features diary-esque confessions, guest speakers, and career advice plucked from their collective three decades in HR, hiring, and leadership.

It’s time to reimagine the modern work experience lest the satire and science fiction stories become prophecies.

Over the next few years, I expect technology to outpace ethics, human creation to be novel, and a retreat from the grind into fractional, part-time, or even off-the-grid existences. A new world emerges — one that’s feminine, cooperative, connected, and shows reverence for the interdependence of humanity, including at the workplace.
