Introducing the Untamed Work Wife
In a refreshing new series titled Dear Untamed Work Wife, Bree opens the floor to a range of workplace dilemmas, offering a thoughtful and holistic approach to solving them. This concept embraces the idea of a "work wife," someone you confide in at work for advice, but with an "untamed" twist. It's about freeing yourself from the constraints of conventional workplace dynamics and exploring authentic, heart-led solutions. Bree encourages her listeners to bring their unspeakable workplace questions out of the shadows, aiming to address them with vulnerability and honesty.

Understanding Employment Rights

This episode emphasizes the importance of being informed about workplace policies and how they can protect one's job while addressing unacceptable behavior.
Addressing the challenges raised by "Angry in Alabama," Bree introduces three powerful strategies to navigate workplace frustration:
Rage on the Page: A cathartic exercise that helps release pent-up emotions by writing them down on paper, offering a safe way to express anger without repercussions.
Make a Protected Report: A lesser-known option that can safeguard employees against retaliation when dealing with unethical or harmful workplace behaviors.
Keep a Log or Journal of Issues: Take screenshots, document witnesses, and keep a running log of all incidents to support you in any legal action you may choose to take.
