Corporate Stockholm Syndrome: Why You’re Defending a Job That Doesn’t Defend You

Are you stuck in a job that’s draining your soul, but somehow still find yourself defending it?

Welcome to Corporate Stockholm Syndrome, where loyalty turns into a leash and “it’s not that bad” becomes your coping strategy.

In this unfiltered episode, Dr. Tina Flores, career coach, talent leader and business strategist, exposes the subtle emotional manipulation that keeps high-achieving professionals trapped in toxic workplaces. From guilt trips disguised as “team culture” to the myth of job “security,” Tina breaks down why smart, capable people stay too long in jobs that don’t love them back — and how to finally break free.

🔥 You’ll learn:

  • The psychological traps that make you rationalize bad jobs (“The benefits are good!”)
  • The hidden emotional labor that keeps you exhausted but loyal
  • How to spot the red flags you keep greenlighting
  • Practical steps to detach, reclaim your energy, and build a career that loves you back
  • If you’ve ever said, “It’s not that bad,” while quietly dying inside — this one’s for you.

    🎧 Tune in if you’re ready to stop surviving your career and start designing one that fits.

    Because you don’t need another “thank you for your hard work.” You need freedom.

    👉 Share this episode with a friend who keeps defending their toxic job like it’s a relationship that just “needs time.”
