Questions Every Fed Should Ask Right Now
Hi Friends - I’m back after a short break to reconnect with all of you during Public Service Recognition Week. This episode is a call for reflection and an invitation to ponder where we are as federal employees right now. With so much change happening across the federal workforce, these are the questions to ponder:
Why did you join public service?
What’s keeping you here?
And what do you need to not just survive—but actually thrive?
Whether you’re navigating burnout, considering your next move, or trying to hold space for others doing the same, I hope this conversation gives you a moment to pause and check in with yourself. Finding community, supporting each other, and focusing on mentoring the next generation of public servants is crcuial—even when things feel heavy.
Tune in, take a breath, and remember: you're not in this alone.
