About this listen
My guest this week is Tiahna Hays — someone who operates at the hospitality end of tech, where relationships, trust, and presence matter just as much as strategy.
Tiahna Hays was 24 weeks pregnant when she interviewed for a job. Final round? One week postpartum. She didn’t share that part of her story — not because she was hiding, but because the workplace didn’t feel safe for it.
In this powerful new episode of The Podgecast, we unpack what it really means to:
– Show up authentically in unsafe environments
– Lead with empathy in corporate spaces
– Build trust through small, human gestures (like remembering a name... or bringing a bottle opener)
This conversation is for the people who:
🧠 Have had to show up with grace when no one’s watching
🌪️ Are navigating uncertainty but still trying to lead
👀 Have ever questioned if their authenticity would be “too much” at work
This one will sit with you long after the episode ends.
👥 Tag someone who leads with heart.
