I’m Fine. It’s Fine. Everything’s… Fine? Emotional Labor in Admin Life

Send us a text "You don’t have to be composed 100% of the time. You don’t have to be the steady one, the cheerful one, the “office therapist” every single day. You can be messy. You can be human. And you can still be amazing at your job." In this heartfelt solo episode, I get real about a part of the admin role we don’t talk about enough: emotional labor.  From holding space for overwhelmed coworkers to staying composed while managing total chaos, admin professionals often carry the invisible weight of everyone else’s emotions — all while keeping their own in check. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.  Tune in as I unpack what emotional labor looks like in our world, how it shows up day after day, the toll it can quietly take, and how to start caring for yourself in the process. It’s honest, validating, and a must-listen for anyone who’s ever smiled through the stress and said, “It’s fine.” Support the show Visit the Have A Seat website for more episodes at: www.haveaseatconversations.com or even better, leave me a quick voicemail at: https://www.haveaseatconversations.com/voicemail/ and let"s continue the conversation. Thanks for listening!
