S4E15 - Health & Wellness in the Workplace

Episode Summary:


In this energizing episode, Doris and Regina welcome Heather Wolcott—board-certified health and wellness coach, certified personal trainer, and the catalyst behind the walking group that brought your hosts together. Heather shares actionable insights on how wellness can be woven into the workplace—whether driven by leadership or sparked by employees on the front lines.


Together, they explore:


• Why wellness must be modeled from the top—but doesn't have to start there

• The ripple effect of a single "spark" like a lunchtime walking group

• How community, movement, and nutrition impact productivity and morale

• Why hybrid work is often the healthiest model (and what leaders can do with that info)

• The delicate balance between encouragement and judgment

• What leaders can do to truly listen, support mindset shifts, and empower teams


Whether you're a leader looking to champion wellness or an employee hoping to inspire change, this episode offers inspiration and tools to create a healthier, more human-centered workplace.
