| beyond the mic: writing my first ever book | 20 Aug 2024 | 00:10:44 | |
as if being a podcast host wasn't enough for me...i'm writing a book. "we're human. not resources." is coming fall or winter of 2024. this book is all about challenging misconceptions in human resources, viewing human resources from a human's perspective, and providing a fresh perspective in the workplace. i go over the book writing process and how it relates to staying true to yourself in the face of pressure, and ensuring that you embrace individuality in your career and in your life. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @emswhynot / @em.thinkhr | |||
| the generational gap: how individuals show up to work and how they work | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:23:52 | |
i'm a gen z and i bring a unique perspective on work and workplace culture. not everyone will agree with what i say or what i present. i'm constantly met with doubts, frustration, and stereotypes. i think there's a lot to learn about different generations, and gen z specifically has learned a lot about generations before them...which is why they are the way they are. i discuss and dissect the differences between the work ethics/attitudes and stereotypes of boomers, gen x, millennials and gen z. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @emswhynot / @em.thinkhr | |||
| how getting rear-ended opened my eyes to how we need to approach HR | 30 Jul 2024 | 00:20:21 | |
when I talk about starting my business, my usual short story is that I tried all the other industries and in each one, I always tried to get involved in HR. but the reality is, it’s about how I was treated, the experiences I had, the bosses and co-workers that made me see the unjust, outdated bullshit that is “human resources” and “dream workplaces” and “work-life balance.” this episode goes over one of my co-op work experiences...the defining one of my career. essentially...a long-winded explanation of how I realized that holding people accountable, standing up for yourself and just being a good person was hard to find. but it wasn't until this work experience happened that I realized I wouldn’t let any of it go by anymore without saying something. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @think.hr Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||

| how i overcame my fears on a 3 day solo camping trip (and you should too) | 16 Jul 2024 | 00:16:56 | |
after coming back from a 3-day solo camping trip...I've had some realizations. overcoming your fears = underrated. oooting your own horn = also underrated. living your life in fear and worry = not worth it. you know I'm the queen of saying "yolo" but the more I say it, the more I believe it. this is our one life. i'd rather spend it overcoming fears, pushing boundaries, and trying new things, than living in fear, worry, or stressing over imaginary scenarios. whether that means talking to your boss, going solo camping, or walking around in the dark - do it. and hype yourself up after you do. | |||
| reminder: take your PTO | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:20:34 | |
it's easy for me to sit here and chat about taking time off right? i own my own business, i set my hours, i'm taking my first-ever solo camping trip this weekend. that doesn't mean that you can't. your paid time off (PTO) like vacation, sick days, and personal days... is part of your entire compensation package. if you aren't using them fully, you aren't getting paid fully. that's the reality of it. i discussed how to take time off, the best way to do it, a little self-check-in, and how taking a short-term leave helped bring me clarity. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @think.hr Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||
| know your worth; negotiation tactics | 02 Jul 2024 | 00:24:29 | |
It's time to take charge and get what you deserve. Whether you're eyeing a raise, craving more vacation days, or negotiating a job offer, remember that knowing your worth isn't just a mantra—it's essential! In this episode, I'm lifting the curtain on past jobs and how much money I made at each one, what steps to take to ask for more (money, vacation, etc.), sample wording to use, and always some extra tidbits of advice to take you to the next level. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @think.hr Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||
| job applications...the bane of my existence | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:22:08 | |
Let's be super clear here. There's an obvious power imbalance when it comes to applying to jobs and I am NOT here for it. This episode tested my ability to be calm, cool, and collected, and frankly, I like it. I didn't start this podcast, business, etc. to be the cute Gen Z co-worker (although I totally am) - but to challenge the status quo. I'll discuss how I think you should apply for jobs with how you represent yourself on your resume, cover letter, etc. (with examples of how I have recently), and how companies using AI software are probably missing out on some incredible candidates. -- LINKS Find Emily: IG: @think.hr Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||
| work for yourself...not someone else | 18 Jun 2024 | 00:24:37 | |
DISCLAIMER: I’m not asking you to uproot your career or family and start your own business. Throughout this episode I want you to determine what "balance" means to you. What “working for yourself” means to you. There is no perfect equation that solves it for every single person. It's not always about having weekends off, or not taking on that one extra project. Too often we find ourselves 3 years into a job, with no boundaries, a lack of motivation, and the inability to complete work on a Friday afternoon. This episode will teach you some strong habits to create and sustain throughout your career that focus on working for yourself and not others. -- LINKS Find Emily: Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||

| life is more important than just looking forward to the weekend | 04 Jun 2024 | 00:17:55 | |
Season 2 Episode 2. Who am I with this organized podcast?? Back again with another weekly episode. This one gets a little sentimental, even though I totally didn't plan on it. We all know I'm the bachelorette when it comes to jobs. Trying every single one I can. After recently leaving another role, it puts me at 13 jobs in 7 industries by the age of 26. But like who's counting??

| From LinkedIn Hater to LinkedIn..."Lover"? | 09 Dec 2023 | 00:19:49 | |
Oh LinkedIn...how I loathe you. Well...maybe. My first interactions with LinkedIn were the same as most, scrolling through celebration after celebration of new jobs, promotions, moving, etc. and as an 18-year-old who had no idea what to do with her life, it SUCKED. After some time, lessons learned, and niches discovered, I've seen LinkedIn in a new light, and I want to share that with you. We'll go over my story (short, sweet, and to the point as always), and I'll teach you a couple of ways to make LinkedIn a resource in your job search, not just another social media platform to scroll when bored. -- LINKS Find Emily: Website: https://www.thinkhr.ca/ | |||

| Gen Z in the Workplace: Myth vs. Fact | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:17:09 | |
Yes - stereotypes and biases are real. No, they don’t appear out of mid-air. I encourage you whether as a Gen Z or as a millennial, Gen X, Boomer, etc., to remove those judgments and “flip the script.” Instead of looking at items as “challenges” or “problems,” look at them as “opportunities” or “areas to improve on.” Instead of “making assumptions,” put yourself in someone else’s shoes to see where they’re coming from.

how many of you hate public speaking? I thought I hated speaking out in front of people. growing up, I was quiet and shy and just accepted that. until... in one of my classes at university the professor came in on the first day to discuss the class and explained that the entire course is all presentations, except for one final paper. so 85% of my grade was based on my ability to speak in front of my class.

| 3 things I did differently to get here | 07 Feb 2025 | 00:42:00 | |
Ever feel like your career path should make more sense? Same. In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I went from 14 jobs in 7 industries to building a business, launching a YouTube channel, and securing a spot on RogersTV - without following a traditional route. We’re diving into three game-changing lessons that shaped my journey: - Embracing Career Pivots – Why trying different jobs (and quitting some) was the best thing I ever did. - The Power of Authenticity – How being unapologetically me opened doors I never imagined. - Being ‘Delulu’ on Purpose – Why ignoring the naysayers and believing in big, wild dreams actually works. Tune in for a real talk, bold moves, and a reminder that success isn’t one-size-fits-all. Let’s redefine what’s possible! #YourGenZCoWorker #LifeOverWork #Podcast Catch the full episode on RogersTV - Woodstock Channel 13, YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts!
