Reframing Our Stories

There is so much packed into this little episode with Shannon Savage- Howie. We start this interview by acknowledging mid-life and perimenopause. Shannon experienced so many unanswered questions related to her health that later was diagnosed as an autoimmune disease that technically “didn’t fit.” She was so frustrated but experienced a calm when talking with other women who experienced the same thing. Shannon is a contemplative coach and spiritual director and discovered that many people are unsettled with not knowing, but when listened to and are invited into a space where they feel cared for are able to acknowledge what they need. This episode takes us through this journey of the mysteries of mid-life, the need for women to be heard, and to know the power of listening.
Purple Acorn: HR Morning Show

In this insightful interview with Purple Acorn, we explore the powerful role of connection in the workplace, inspired by the themes of Feeling Seen: A Reflection on Connection in a Busy World.
The discussion highlights the growing concern around loneliness, with the U.S. Surgeon General labeling it a public health epidemic. The workplace, often a siloed environment where employees are seen as their roles rather than as whole individuals, can exacerbate feelings of isolation. However, workplaces also hold immense potential to foster meaningful connections.
The interview explores practical ways HR professionals and managers can create opportunities for employees to share their stories and feel recognized for the multitudes they carry, both professionally and personally. By practicing curiosity and encouraging authentic dialogue, organizations can cultivate a culture where people feel understood and valued, boosting morale, engagement, and even overall health.
The conversation ends with an inspiring call to action: Let’s make workplaces not just places of productivity, but also spaces of connection and humanity. After all, every colleague is more than their title or tasks—they carry a unique and beautiful story waiting to be seen.
Watch the full interview to learn how prioritizing connection in your workplace can help heal loneliness and create a thriving, inclusive culture.
