Episode 11: The Future of Work Is Love
In this episode of the ThriveMind Studio Podcast, host Courtney Finstad is joined by Amy Elizabeth Fox, co-founder and CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership and co-author of Leading in Chaos, for a powerful conversation about leadership, healing, and bringing humanity back into the workplace. Together, they explore how connection, emotional awareness, and care can help us navigate uncertainty and create healthier, more human ways of working and leading.
Drawing from more than two decades of work with senior leaders and organizations around the world, Amy shares insights into trauma-informed leadership, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and the importance of creating workplaces where people can bring more of their whole selves. She challenges traditional ideas of self-reliance and invites us to consider what becomes possible when our workplaces become spaces of genuine connection, support, and belonging.
At the heart of the conversation is a powerful idea: the future of work is love. Not love as sentimentality, but as the willingness to truly see one another, make space for what people are carrying, and build cultures rooted in care. From creating “nests” of support within organizations to recognizing the power of small acts of kindness and connection, Amy offers a compelling vision for a more human future of work.
In today’s Voices of Impact nonprofit spotlight, we're joined by Kate Klasen, founder of Bishop’s Mission. Kate shares how the organization supports first responders navigating the aftermath of critical incidents through peer connection, lived experience, and trained PTS canines. The conversation also shines a light on gaps in traditional wellness systems, including the often-overlooked care of the therapy and service dogs that departments and first responders rely on.
Whether you're leading a team, navigating uncertainty, experiencing burnout, or simply looking for more meaningful ways to connect with the people around you, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and remember that we were never meant to do this alone.
