Toxic Workplaces, Imposter Syndrome & Nailing the Final Interview

This week, Izzy tackles some of the toughest career dilemmas you’ve sent in — from surviving a toxic culture (even if you love the work) to kicking imposter syndrome to the curb, plus a masterclass in preparing for your final stage interview.

We’ll cover:

* Toxic workplaces: How to protect your mental health, set boundaries, find allies, and plan your exit without burning out.

* Imposter syndrome: Practical mindset shifts, building a “brag file” (Izzy’s is called *That Bitch*), and why faking it till you make it actually works.

* Corporate Confessional: A half-million-dollar mistake, a boss who stayed calm, and what a culture of psychological safety really looks like.

* Interview power moves: From researching the panel to leaving a memorable impression, plus the small gestures that make you stand out.

* Promotion talk: Why visibility is everything, how to present your receipts, and the exact script to turn extra responsibility into a pay rise.

Packed with real-world examples, straight-talking advice, and a few reality checks, this episode is your playbook for thriving in high-pressure situations — and knowing when it’s time to walk away.
