Ep.05: Meet the Corporate Narcissist

This week, we diagnose the system that’s making us sick and burning us out: meet the Corporate Narcissist.

From the exhaustion of personal burnout to the relief of a diagnosis, this episode unpacks the lived experience of surviving systems not built for us. We explore how concepts like 'autistic joy' and the 'translation tax' reveal a deeper pathology at play in our workplaces and institutions. We'll introduce the 'Corporate Narcissist'—a new framework for understanding systemic abuse—and trace its roots from organizational behavior to cultural norms.

But this isn't just a diagnosis; it's a field guide. We equip you with the language and red flags to identify toxic systems in your own life. Because naming the machine is the first step toward building a future that doesn’t demand our humanity as the price of admission. Listen in.
