Podcast-Working Minds

Working Minds is a podcast at the intersection of psychology, workplace culture, and personal growth. Hosted by Roberta Verschoor, each episode dives into the realities of modern work life — from dysfunctional leadership and HR silence to burnout, emotional labor, and the healing journey that follows. Through honest storytelling, professional insights, and a compassionate lens, the show gives voice to experiences too often left unspoken.

Season One takes listeners inside Roberta’s book, Healing with Psychology: Understanding the Mind Behind Dysfunctional Leadership, with each episode featuring a chapter reading followed by raw, unfiltered commentary. These conversations explore not only the events that inspired the book but also the psychology behind them — helping listeners understand the deeper patterns at play in unhealthy work environments. It’s a space for anyone who has questioned their worth because of a job, silently endured a toxic boss, or felt the heavy toll of corporate dysfunction.

More than a series of workplace stories, Working Minds is about reclaiming personal agency and mental wellness. It’s for employees, leaders, HR professionals, and anyone ready to rethink the way we work. With every episode, Roberta invites listeners to reflect, learn, and take steps toward a healthier, more mindful career — because work should never cost you your peace of mind.
