Work does not have to feel like survival. Too many of us are burnt out, always proving ourselves, or hiding parts of who we are just to feel safe at work. Healing the Workplace is a four-part podcast from Heal Magazine and LAUDACE that asks a simple but brave question: what if work could feel more human?
These honest conversations look at how the way we work shapes our health, our relationships, and our sense of worth. They invite us to pause, unlearn old habits, and build something better together. If you have ever felt like you had to shrink or overperform to belong, this podcast is for you.
Here is what each episode covers:
Episode 1 | Unlearning what we were taught about work, power and productivity
In this first episode, Selma Lemsaadi from Heal Magazine and Axelle Ahanhanzo from LAUDACE talk about how our ideas of success can hurt us. They open up about burnout, staying silent, and feeling unseen at work. They also share what true belonging could look like.
Episode 2 | Burnout, belonging and the silent load women carry, with Nicolette Lazarus
Nicolette Lazarus, founder of Womanship, shares how she freed herself from burnout and people-pleasing. She talks about how to set real boundaries, stop overfunctioning, and remember who you are outside your job.
Episode 3 | Sync, don’t sink: rethinking productivity through your cycle with Faten Salem
Faten Salem, founder of ILIK, explains how cycle syncing can help us see productivity in a new way. She talks about rest, resilience, and why so many workplaces ignore women’s bodies and mental health. Her story is a reminder that slowing down can be powerful.
Episode 4 | Slow is powerful: why conscious leadership is the future of work with Kremena Jordanova
