The (Un)Buttoned Up Podcast

Episode 5 - Why People Quit

In this episode, we’re getting honest about why people really leave jobs — and spoiler alert: it’s usually not just about the money. From toxic leadership and burnout to lack of growth, broken promises, and feeling invisible at work, we unpack the real reasons employees decide they’re done. We also dive into the disconnect between what companies think employees want versus what actually drives retention today. Whether you’re a leader trying to keep top talent, someone quietly updating your resume, or just fascinated by workplace dynamics, this conversation is for you.

From harmless quirks to habits that test everyone’s patience, we unpack the funniest, most relatable workplace characters and share stories that will have you nodding in recognition. Whether you’re the peacekeeper, the overachiever, the ghoster, or the one just trying to make it to Friday, this episode is packed with laughs and a little too much truth.

Episode 3 - Email Crimes We’re All Guilty Of

Email is still one of the most powerful tools in business—but most people are using it wrong. In this episode, we break down the real do’s and don’ts of emailing, from subject lines that actually get opened to the small habits that quietly kill your response rate. We talk about common inbox mistakes (yes, including “reply all”), how tone can make or break your message, and what separates emails that get ignored from ones that drive action. Whether you’re in sales, leadership, or just trying to communicate more effectively, this episode will help you write emails that are clear, confident, and actually get results.

Episode 2 - Confidence Is the New Competence

Confidence gets a lot of hype—but the truth is, most people aren’t born with it. They build it. In this episode of The (Un)buttoned Up Podcast, we’re talking about what confidence really looks like in your career, why so many people fake it, and the small habits that actually help you build real, lasting confidence. From speaking up in meetings to taking risks in your career, we break down the difference between confidence and arrogance, why imposter syndrome shows up for almost everyone, and how to push past the voice in your head that says you’re not ready. If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has it figured out except you—this episode is for you.
