  • Snack 12: How to Align Your Work with What Truly Lights You Up

    Snack 12: How to Align Your Work with What Truly Lights You Up
    May 5 2025

    In today’s Workday Playdate snack, we’re talking about moving beyond the checklist version of success—and finding work that actually energizes you.

    The Problem:
    You’ve hit the career milestones, but something still feels off. You’re busy, sure—but not fulfilled. That’s not laziness or burnout. It’s misalignment.

    The Improv Hack to Try: “The Commercial Break”
    Take 30 seconds and pitch your dream job like you’re in a commercial. Say what you do, who you help, and why it matters—in your most over-the-top voice.

    Then reflect: What felt real? That’s your purpose, hidden in plain sight.

    Journal Prompts:
    1. What parts of my work feel most meaningful?
    2. What’s draining me—and why am I holding onto it?
    3. What would my ideal workday look like?

    288: You Spend 90,000 Hours of Your Life at Work - Here's How to Create Real Connection with Adam Dorsay
    Apr 30 2025

    Dr. Adam Dorsay (Super Psyched: The Power of the 4 Types of Connection) is an author, psychologist, TEDx speaker, and podcast host.

    Dr. Adam Dorsay joins Workday Playdate to talk about the four kinds of connection that can radically transform your life, why enthusiasm is a secret superpower, and how adult friendships are often more vital—and more fragile—than we realize.

    Adam and Erin discuss the emotional lift of reviving past passions, the surprising benefits of JOMO (joy of missing out), and what improv can teach us about personal growth and taking creative risks.

    Inside This Episode:

    • The difference between connection and proximity
    • How we somaticize emotional struggles
    • Why feeling awe might be the key to breaking through loneliness

    Who This Episode Is For:
    This episode is for anyone feeling a bit disconnected—from others, from themselves, or from the creative spark they used to have.

    Take a break from your emails, slam your laptop shut for 30ish minutes, and come have a Workday Playdate with us.

  • Snack 11: How to Stop Hating Your Job & Actually Like the People You Work With

    Snack 11: How to Stop Hating Your Job & Actually Like the People You Work With
    Apr 28 2025
    In today’s Workday Playdate snack, we’re talking about how to stop hating your job—and maybe even enjoy the humans you work with. The Problem: If you’re dreading Slack pings, counting down to Friday, or secretly fantasizing about moving to a remote island with zero meetings… it might not just be burnout. It might be a connection problem. We spend 90,000 hours of our lives at work—if we’re not feeling seen or having any fun, that’s a soul issue, not a schedule issue. The Improv Hack to try at your next meeting: “Role Call Remix.” Before your next meeting, toss out one unexpected, totally non-work prompt—but assign everyone a role to answer in. Like: “Answer as if you’re a pirate who just got promoted.” “Respond like your teenage self.” “Pretend you’re your favorite snack food come to life.” It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it gets people out of robot mode and into real connection—fast. That’s the snack. Show up human. Get a little weird. And remember—work gets way better when we stop pretending and start playing. Journal Prompts: Where could I bring a little more humanity into my next meeting? Who on my team might be craving real connection? What part of my personality doesn’t usually show up at work—but could?
