If your job has you feeling drained, anxious, or like you’re slowly losing yourself—but you’re scared to quit because of money or your résumé—this episode is your wake-up call. Today I am breaking down how to spot the red flags of a toxic workplace, protect your mental health while you plan your exit, and create a strategic, empowered plan to leave without burning bridges.

This is the ultimate survival and strategy guide for any high-achieving woman stuck in a toxic work environment. I share own my toxic job experience navigating burnout and stress in my forensics career—and how I finally learned the difference between a challenging job and a harmful one.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify when your “hard job” has crossed into toxic territory.
  • Guard your peace and rebuild confidence before you walk away.
  • Journal and document the facts (and your wins!) like a pro.
  • Strategically plan your financial and career exit—without burning bridges.
  • Leave gracefully, protect your reputation, and step into the next chapter with clarity and confidence.
  • I deep into the emotional, financial, and logistical steps that will help you quit your toxic job like a boss babe—with power, grace, and strategy.

    Key Moments:

    • [00:03:00] What “toxic” actually means (hint: it’s not just a tough boss).
    • [00:08:00] The emotional toll of burnout culture and how to detach from chaos.
    • [00:14:00] The art of documentation—protecting yourself and your peace.
    • [00:18:00] How to prepare financially before you resign.
    • [00:27:00] The do’s and don’ts of leaving your job with confidence.
