About This Episode
Who supports the people who support everyone else? In this episode, Hebba Youssef—founder of the "I Hate It Here" community—opens up about the emotional weight HR professionals carry every day.
They're expected to coach, mentor, and even act like therapists—while managing burnout and unclear boundaries. Most companies don't see the pressure they're under.
We break down the unrealistic expectations placed on HR, the real difference between coaching, mentoring, and therapy, and why leaning on HR for emotional support may be causing more harm than good.
After this episode, you'll never look at your HR team—or your company's "support system"—the same way again.
