I’m so happy to have workplace strategist, bestselling author, and people-connection expert Erica Keswin join me in this episode for a timely conversation about life and workplace transformations in this age of AI. How can we stay connected in our technology-reshaped realities without sacrificing the values that make us uniquely human?

Erica and I reflect on her journey as a lifelong connector, how technology has both empowered and challenged our ability to build meaningful relationships, and why intentionality is now more important than ever. She shares practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries with technology, fostering connection in hybrid and remote workplaces, and re-centering human purpose and presence in an increasingly digital era. We also discuss the anxieties around AI and job security, and why staying curious and learning about these changes (especially for women) is essential.

Whether you’re embracing new tech or feeling cautious, I hope this episode offers inspiring guidance and helps you focus on what matters most: your relationships, rituals, and sense of purpose.
