About this Episode
A gut feeling can tell you everything — especially when it comes to safety, trust, and team culture.
In this special bonus episode, Zoe sits down with Rasa Kabaila NP to explore what psychological safety really looks and feels like in practice.
From recognising the early signals of unsafe environments to understanding why values only matter once they are tested, this is an honest and grounded conversation about care, connection, and culture.
For anyone trying to hold onto good people and build something that lasts, this one’s for you.
