Episode 42. Can You Say That at Work?- Personal Freedoms and the Workplace

In this episode, Emily sits down with Kevin Wicka, Partner and employment law attorney and expert at The Tarantino Law Firm for a refreshingly real talk about personal rights in the workplace — and all the gray areas that come with them- for employers and employees.

From social media posts and political discussions to clothing, personal expression, and “off-duty” conduct, Emily and Kevin unpack what the law actually says — and what it doesn’t — when it comes to free speech and other personal rights and freedoms at work.

But this isn’t just a legal download. Together, they explore how leaders and employees can navigate these tricky situations with wisdom, respect, and perspective — even when opinions clash. Because while you may have the right to say something, that doesn’t always mean it’s the right, or importantly, wise thing to say.

It’s a conversation for anyone trying to make sense of the blurry line between freedom and professionalism — and how to stay grounded, civil, and smart when the world feels anything but.
