Hosts Sharlyn Turner-Bryant, a Career Strategist and HR Consultant, and Joy Andrews, an Acupuncturist and Feng Shui practitioner, bring together their perspectives on what's going on with the convergence of work-life these days. They'll discuss how we're feeling physically and emotionally, and cover ways to make the most of our physical space, head space, and heart space.https://www.thehomeworkpod.comfalseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/the-homework-podcast/nopodcastPlanning For Your 2026Planning For Your 2026This week on "The Homework Podcast", Sharlyn and Joy make the case for starting the new year early like, October early. What begins as side eye over someone saying “Happy New Year” turns into a soulful (and surprisingly funny) conversation about getting quiet, listening for life’s whispers, and preparing for the high energy Fire Horse year ahead.

They unpack burnout, self care, and why reflection now beats scrambling in January so you can ride into 2026 with clarity instead of getting dragged by the reins.

They get real about the recent backpedaling on inclusion efforts, the magic of actual human connection (remember that?), and how leaders can stop faking it and start showing up authentically. It’s part pep talk, part reality check, and a full-on invitation to imagine a workplace where you're not just tolerated—you’re celebrated.

So grab your notebook, light that self-care candle, and get ready to dream up the workplace you actually deserve.
