In this latest episode of the HX Podcast, we’re diving deeper into the challenges and opportunities of meditation with my best friend Bri Morsa. We're still in the meditation series - but I sometimes know and hear how we all cultivate certain ideas and thoughts around the mention of meditation. And I know Bri is a perfect resource to bring into this discussion at this point.
This episode felt like a continuation of the journey, unpacking why so many people struggle to bring mindfulness into their everyday lives, even though meditation’s benefits are well-documented. Bri and I talked about the disconnect between the “calm” often associated with meditation and the reality of our fast-paced, productivity-driven world. For most of us, the pressure to be constantly busy keeps us in a state of “fight or flight,” which makes it hard to sit still and focus inward.
One of the most powerful moments came when we reflected on how past experiences shape our ability to relax. I shared my own journey of adjusting to calm after a childhood of chaos, and Bri noted that it’s common for people to feel uncomfortable with stillness when it’s not a familiar state.
Meditation doesn’t have to mean clearing your mind for hours on end; sometimes, it’s just taking a breath or finding an “anchor”—a memory or a simple focus point—to slow down. This episode isn’t just about meditation practices; it’s about understanding why slowing down is so challenging and finding small ways to build self-awareness and calm in the middle of busy lives. Whether you’re meditating with purpose for each of these episodes or are trying it for the first time, there’s something here for everyone.
Enjoy,

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبHey humans! Today, we're tackling a topic that's not just a trend for 2025, but a timeless essential: integrity. My guest, Bri Morsa and I defined integrity and its key aspects: honesty, accountability, consistency, and moral courage. We also explore workplace statistics highlighting the impact of integrity on reporting misconduct, employee turnover, and leadership trust. Integrity is a cornerstone of a healthy work environment. Bri and I had a great conversation about how integrity shows up in our lives and why it's so crucial for organizations. We discussed the challenges of maintaining integrity when faced with pressure and the importance of self-reflection in fostering a culture of trust. We also touched upon the work of Rachel Botsman , an expert on trust, who emphasizes integrity as a critical component of trust. She defines trust as a confident relationship with the unknown, and I couldn't agree more. Integrity fosters this confidence by signaling that a person or organization will act ethically and consistently, even in unpredictable situations. As leaders, we have a greater responsibility to show up with integrity and create safe spaces for others to do the same. It's an ongoing journey that requires self-awareness, vulnerability, and a commitment to doing what's right, even when it's hard. We also discussed the challenges of hiring for integrity and how to assess it in ourselves and others. It's not always easy, but it's essential for building strong teams and relationships.

24:16 التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احب24:16
التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبBurnout at work shows up in a bunch of ways, from always feeling tired and less productive to being super cynical and detached. You might be more irritable, have trouble focusing, get headaches, feel totally drained, or just want to be left alone. Basically, it's a drag. In this episode, I'll share some thoughts about how to spot it with yourself and your teams, and what to do about it. I've also included a complete summary below. I invite you to review and hold on to these helpful tools to help recognize burnout and know how to help. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com . Signs of Burnout at Work Chronic Fatigue: Feeling physically and emotionally drained, even after a good night’s sleep. Reduced Performance: A noticeable drop in productivity and a lack of enthusiasm for tasks that once excited you. Cynicism and Detachment: Developing a negative or indifferent attitude toward your job, colleagues, or the organization. Increased Irritability: Feeling easily frustrated or overwhelmed by minor issues that wouldn’t normally bother you. Difficulty Concentrating: Struggling to focus on tasks, leading to mistakes and decreased quality of work. Physical Symptoms: Experiencing headaches, stomach issues, or other unexplained physical problems. Emotional Exhaustion: Feeling emotionally depleted, drained, and unable to cope with work-related stressors. Withdrawal: Isolating yourself from colleagues or avoiding social interactions at work. Steps to Reduce Burnout Set Boundaries: Clearly define your work hours and stick to them. Avoid checking emails or taking calls outside of these hours to create a healthy work-life balance. Prioritize Self-Care: Incorporate regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep into your routine. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Take Breaks: Schedule regular short breaks throughout your workday to recharge. Utilize vacation days to disconnect and rejuvenate. Practice Mindfulness: Engage in mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga to reduce stress and enhance focus. Communicate: Talk to your manager or HR about your feelings of burnout. Open communication can lead to adjustments in workload or support systems. Seek Support: Reach out to colleagues, friends, or mental health professionals for support. Sometimes, discussing your feelings can provide relief and new perspectives. Reassess Workload: Evaluate your responsibilities and prioritize tasks. Learn to delegate or say no to additional commitments that may overwhelm you. Foster Connections: Build relationships with colleagues. A supportive work environment can help alleviate feelings of isolation and provide a network of understanding. Engage in Professional Development: Pursue training or workshops that enhance your skills and reignite your passion for your work. Cultivate a Positive Work Environment: Encourage a culture of support and recognition in your workplace. Simple gestures of appreciation can significantly boost morale. By recognizing the signs of burnout and actively taking steps to mitigate it, both individuals and organizations can create a healthier, more sustainable work environment. Remember, addressing burnout is not just beneficial for employees; it also leads to increased productivity and overall success for the organization.…

1 Mindful Reflections: Wrapping Up Our Meditation Series 7:40
7:40 التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احب7:40
التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبHey humans, it's the wrap-up of our meditation series! Over these seven episodes, we’ve explored a variety of meditation practices to help you step into 2025 as your most mindful, regulated, and empowered self. We began with mindfulness meditation—a simple two-minute starter to build awareness. From there, we dove into a beat-based guided meditation to connect rhythm with relaxation. We also tackled loving-kindness meditation, which, while challenging for many, opens the door to deep compassion and emotional healing. We tried body scan meditations for physical and mental stress relief, visualization meditation for focus through imagery, and mantra meditation to anchor the mind with repeated affirmations. Each practice offered unique tools to help you cultivate self-awareness and find the method that resonates most with you. As I’ve shared, meditation isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. My goal has always been to provide a toolkit you can explore to find what feels right for you. Personally, I’m excited to deepen my own practice in 2025. Whether you’re just starting or integrating meditation into your daily life, there’s something for everyone. I've included some apps and other resources that I thought you'd find helpful if you'd like to pursue this further! Let’s head into the new year with self-regulation at the forefront—it’s how we show up for ourselves and the people we care about most.

We're exploring the transformative power of mantra meditation, a technique that helps you stay present and focused. Remember those mindfulness exercises we did in the beginning? This is similar, but with a twist. You'll be creating your own personal mantra – a phrase that resonates with you on a deep level. Something that empowers you, uplifts you, and brings you back to center when life throws you curveballs. Think about what you need to hear today. Is it "I am enough"? Or maybe "The world is abundant"? Choose a mantra that speaks to your soul and repeat it gently to yourself, noticing how it feels in your body and mind. If your thoughts start to wander, that's okay! Just gently guide them back to your mantra. This practice can be incredibly powerful, especially on those days when you feel scattered or overwhelmed. Don't forget to share your experiences with me! I love hearing how the challenge is resonating with you. Until next time, may your days be filled with light, love, joy, and beautiful abundance!

Barb and I dove into a range of topics that are so relevant right now: self-awareness, breaking through biases in hiring, and how AI is shaping organizational culture. Barb shared her personal journey from immigrant to AI leader, and it was inspiring to hear how empathy and ethical AI have guided her work. We talked about how AI can actually foster deeper human connections and improve business outcomes, which I know can sound a bit counterintuitive at first. But trust me, Barb’s insights really bring it all together. We also explored ways to empower employees, rethink HR data, and stay grounded as leaders when things feel overwhelming—which, let’s be honest, happens a lot in HR.
