What does work look like to someone who hasn't entered the workforce yet? In this episode, Kyra sits down with her 13-year-old son—right on the cusp of Gen Z and Gen Alpha—to explore how the next generation is already forming opinions about work by simply observing the adults around them. From his unfiltered take on the meeting-project-meeting cycle to his pragmatic views on money, flexibility, and what makes a job "worth it," this conversation reveals something striking: the expectations of younger Gen Z aren't radical, they're human. Kyra weaves his insights with global research from Deloitte and Harvard Business Review to explore whether Gen Z is rejecting work itself, or just the parts of work culture that have been broken all along. If you've ever wondered what the next wave of workers will demand, or what we're unconsciously modeling for them, this episode will make you think.

In this episode of Globally Grounded, Kyra explores what it means to keep showing up when the world feels loud, uncertain, and chronically stressful. From global work pressures and economic anxiety to a nonstop news cycle and rising expectations at work, many of us are operating in a constant state of “on.” Kyra unpacks why this kind of sustained stress is different from short-term pressure, how it shows up in our work and lives, and why powering through is no longer a viable strategy. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or just plain exhausted, this episode is a reminder that resilience doesn’t mean doing more, it means learning how to steady yourself and move forward without losing yourself.

In this episode of Globally Grounded, Kyra takes a look at the four-day workweek to explore what’s actually happened when organizations around the world have tried it. Drawing on large-scale trials from the UK, Iceland, Portugal, and Spain, she breaks down what the data really shows about productivity, burnout, well-being, gender equity, and retention. She also reflects on what these global experiments reveal about U.S. work culture, and how even organizations that aren’t ready for a four-day week can apply the lessons today.
