Introduction

This podcast is an applied HR and leadership lens on Human Debt™—examining how unaddressed psychological strain, silenced expertise, and misaligned decision-making accumulate as organisational risk in modern work systems.

The Secret Society of Human Debt™ Fighters - Human Work Advocates is a practitioner-led podcast and community focused on Human Debt™, and how it manifests across HR, leadership, and people systems.
Hosted by Duena Blomstrom, originator of the Human Debt™ framework, and Dr Alessandria Polizzi, organisational psychologist and Human Work Advocate, the series explores how unaddressed psychological strain, misaligned incentives, and silenced expertise accumulate as Human Debt™ inside modern organisations.
This podcast operates as one applied HR and leadership lens on Human Debt™, with particular focus on:
  • psychological safety research and lived organisational dynamics
  • leadership decision-making under sustained strain
  • the erosion and restoration of trust within people systems
