In this episode of The SAFE Leader podcast, Mark McBride-Wright sits down with Anna Burgan for a conversation about leadership, workplace culture, and what really happens when people are forced to choose between success and wellbeing. Anna shares her personal journey through career change, motherhood, and the realities of navigating systems that often say the right things about inclusion but fail to support people when it matters most.
Together, Mark and Anna explore what it means to lead with humanity, challenge outdated workplace mindsets, and create environments where people can thrive both professionally and personally. This is an honest and thought-provoking episode about culture, bias, parenthood, and the responsibility leaders have to shape workplaces that truly work for everyone.
