In this Season 2 finale, Tash dives into the workplace trend you’ve probably felt but maybe didn’t have a name for: job hugging.

Forget job hopping. Today, more people are clinging to stability, paychecks, and benefits like never before. Tash unpacks why this shift is happening, from economic uncertainty and layoffs to the psychological pull of safety, and what it means for both employees and employers. With real-life stories and practical advice, this episode closes out an incredible season—one filled with lessons on leadership, emotional intelligence, mental health, and more.

Tune in for a smart, honest take on why hugging your job doesn’t mean you’re stuck. It might just mean you’re playing the long game.

Because the truth is...job hugging is the new job hopping!

Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, procrastinating, and comparing yourself to everyone on LinkedIn or social media?

I feel you. In this episode, Tash dives into the quiet ways we self-sabotage—like waiting for the “perfect” time, second-guessing our every move, or letting imposter syndrome take the wheel. Backed by psychology (hello, cognitive dissonance and the Upper Limit Problem), this episode breaks down why we block our own blessings and how to finally get out of our own way.

You’ll learn how comparison is really just a flashlight pointing toward your desires, why perfection is a myth with great marketing, and how to stop letting fear wear a calendar. Plus, Tash shares three simple but powerful things you can do today to start shifting the script—from being your biggest obstacle to your best ally.

Because the truth is...it’s you against you.

Have you ever worked with someone who looked perfect on paper—degrees, experience, charm—but in real life, they were emotionally clueless? Like they had no clue how they were coming across to other people? Yeah...same.

Well, in this episode, Tash dives into why emotional intelligence (EQ) can quietly make or break everything—from your relationships, to your career, to how you lead through crisis.

From navigating tension without ghosting people to giving feedback that doesn’t make someone cry, she unpacks what EQ really looks like in the workplace and why it’s becoming the most human advantage we’ve got in a world full of machines. With real stories (including one tone-deaf exec who literally had the EQ of a rock), science-backed tips, and that classic Tash humor, this one’s for anyone who wants to lead better, communicate smarter, and show up more powerfully, both in work and in life.

Because the truth is...EQ is your edge.

What do top-performing companies have in common?

A talent strategy that’s deeply aligned with their business goals.

In this episode, Tash is joined by Sam Li, Director of Talent Acquisition at Zenni Optical, to explore why hiring can’t be treated like a back-office function. From scaling teams across industries to navigating a challenging job market, Sam shares the behind-the-scenes realities of TA, offers advice for both employers and job seekers, and breaks down how to shift from reactive hiring to proactive planning.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Truth Is… without a few hot takes and a rapid-fire round of True or False to close things out.

Because the truth is…talent strategy IS business strategy!
