In this third episode of the Beyond Self-Care Podcast, Gail Markin and Jade Garratt explore a concept that sounds technical but lands deeply human: fiduciary duty. The episode invites listeners to question how policies are interpreted, how systems reinforce particular behaviours, and how psychological safety can erode when leaders feel like vessels rather than contributors.

In this episode, Gail and her co-host Jade explore what psychological safety really looks like in practice. They discuss why learning often involves discomfort and interpersonal risk, and why it shouldn’t rely solely on individuals being brave.

The conversation examines how everyday interactions, responses to feedback, and moments of failure signal whether it is truly safe to speak up and learn. Bridging research and real-world experience, this episode invites listeners to reflect on how psychological safety is created and sustained over time.
