2.2 - Women at Work

🎙️2.2 - Women at Work Season 2 just got its first guests.In this episode of Tea with HRT, we’re kicking off our first guest conversation of the season with Stephanie and Courtney, Co-Founders of Entreprenista, just in time for International Women’s Day. Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer are serial entrepreneurs, investors, and Co-Founders of Entreprenista, a leading media platform and community empowering women founders. Together, they’ve built and scaled multiple businesses, including Socialfly, and now support thousands of entrepreneurs through content, community, and capital. This month, we’re talking about Women at Work. Not the highlight reel. The real stuff. What ambition looks like behind the scenes. How confidence actually builds. The pressure to be ready before you feel ready. And how community changes everything. Stephanie and Courtney share what they’re seeing inside Entreprenista’s growing network of women founders, from scaling businesses to building support systems that make leadership feel less isolating. We talk about what gets oversimplified about women in entrepreneurship, how boundaries evolve as careers grow, and why having the right rooms matters more than ever.It’s thoughtful, honest, and very aligned with what women are navigating right now. See you this month. Cheers.

2.1 - Work-Life Integration/Separation & Getting Back Into It

🎙️2.1 - Work-Life Integration/Separation & Getting Back Into It Season 2 of Tea with HRT is here! In this episode, we talk about work–life integration, work–life separation, and what it really looks like for teams to get back into a rhythm after a heavy December–February stretch. From fully remote teams to hybrid workplaces and mandated return-to-office environments, we share what leaders are seeing and where things often feel off. We also get into the harder side of leadership. Tough people decisions, terminations, and learning how to mentally step away from work without carrying it home. Allyns brings perspective from 25+ years in HR and leadership, while Brenda and Sara share reflections from different points in their careers and experiences supporting teams through these moments. We close with a reflection on HR Transformed’s 8-year anniversary and what continues to matter most when it comes to people at work. See you next month!
