You’re great at your job, but you’re also tired. Tired of the pace. The pressure. Possibly even the pretending?
This Is Not Sustainable is a newsletter for professionals who care deeply about their work, but know there has to be a healthier, more human way to lead, grow, and build culture.
What to Expect:
✨ Practical tools for navigating leadership and burnout
✨ Honest reflections on what’s working (and what’s not) in today’s workplaces.
✨ A bit of humor….because sometimes all you can do is laugh (and take a walk)
So, if you’re rethinking how you show up at work or how work shows up for you… this is your space.
If you’re a leader who wants to do better by your people or simply just a human trying to figure out what’s next you’re in good company and we hope you see yourself here.
Subscribe to get grounded, supported, and reminded: you’re not alone in wanting better.

Hi, I’m Chelly 👋👋
HR leader, speaker, writer, and someone who’s spent over a decade in corporate spaces trying to make work a little less exhausting (and a little more human).
I’ve coached executives, built global programs, led Culture & Engagement strategies, and sat in more meetings about "synergy" than I’d care to admit. I hold an MBA, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, and all of this essentially just means I’ve seen some things.
Currently, I serve as the Director of Global HR & Inclusion at a leading tech company, and I sit on the board of HR Tampa & Madi’s Movement where I regularly create and host events on Career & Personal Development, Workplace Culture, Burnout, and Leadership Development for the community.
I write about leadership, burnout, career pivots, and how to build workplace cultures that don’t make people question all their life choices. I also share stories from people who’ve hit walls, made big shifts, and found their way back to purpose (with their humor intact).
This space is about encouraging change.
Plain and simple.
