Episode 71: Share the Chair - Jen Phillips

Current Episode

Share the Chair: Jen Phillips
All Good Things - Resilience
Community, Connection

We’re back with another in our Share the Chair series as we reunite with our good friend, the resilient Jen Phillips (and when we say resilient we are NOT kidding). Jen joined us in Fall 2024 just days before she would find herself in the wrath of Hurricane Helene, which would ultimately devastate her business and community in Asheville, North Carolina. After managing to rebuild her business in … wait for it … 60 DAYS (yes, really), then dedicating several months of her time volunteering with hurricane recovery efforts, the experience unexpectedly helped sharpen her focus to continue to find ways to create healthy workplaces AND ways of working. Listen in as she discusses the importance not only of resilience, but the power of community, connection and her new venture, The New Ambition, which is aimed at transforming workplace environments to be healthier and more supportive. Discover how being literally in the eye of a hurricane helped Jen further shape her mission to drive positive change and create cycles of good in both our lives AND at work.

Episode 72: Pride 2025 - A Personal Reflection

Upcoming Episode

Pride 2025: A Personal Reflection

As we round out June 2025, we did not want to leave it without taking a very personal reflection on what Pride month means to us and to the LGBTQIA+ community. Join host CH as she reflects on what Pride has ultimately come to mean to her, and some of the key lessons it has taught her – namely, the importance on standing up for kindness, acceptance, and understanding in a world often divided by differences. It seems Pride represents even MORE to us this year than in recent years past. And, it serves as an important reminder about embracing diversity, learning from different life experiences and the enduring importance of being an ally to each other.
