Hi, I’m Yvonne Guibert, co-host of the Deconstructing Comp Podcast. I’ve spent over 30 years in the workers’ compensation industry, and one thing has always stayed with me: behind every claim is a person navigating one of the most difficult moments of their life. While we’ve made progress as an industry, I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is for people to feel overwhelmed, isolated, or simply unheard during their recovery. That’s why the work of Kind Souls Foundation resonates so deeply with me.

Kind Souls Foundation exists to make sure no one has to go through that experience alone. Through their warmline, they provide free, confidential emotional support to individuals facing work disruption due to injury, illness, or disability, offering something that often gets missed: connection, compassion, and a real human voice on the other end of the line. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m hosting a special webinar, Self-Leadership Under Pressure, with proceeds going directly to support their mission. If you’ve ever believed that how we show up for others matters, I invite you to join me in supporting this incredible cause.
