About Me

Hi. My name is Meryl.

I’m here to talk about work hurt.

Unfortunately, for millions of people around the world, work sucks. It causes all sorts of physical, emotional, and relational pain. Here, we’re primarily going to focus on the emotional and relational pain and damage, but we’re not going to forget the toll that many people’s work and work-related stress takes on their bodies.

Maybe you’re in the middle of work hurt. Or maybe work hurt you in the past, and you’re still reeling from the fallout. If so, let’s talk about work hurt together, shake our fists in the air because of it, figure out how to deal with it, and learn to be more resilient in the face of it.
