Victim mentality shows up in all areas of our lives, but when it pops up in the workplace, it can derail an entire team of people and quietly take control over the workplace. Today, I want to peel back the curtain on how the victim role can take charge, shifting the focus from what really matters and what you can do to keep your team focused and empowered.

This week’s episode 323 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how the victim role hijacks workplace meetings (and what to do instead). 


In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing how the victim role shows up in workplace scenarios and can take control of group dynamics, and 5 actionable steps you can take to address the situation to foster healthier, more productive workplace interactions. 


Everyone can fall into the victim role at times, but with awareness and the right tools, you can shift the energy in your team meetings and help your team thrive! For more strategies on handling tricky workplace dynamics, check out my upcoming workshop, Beyond Burnout: Setting Boundaries at Work That Stick, on September 18, 2025!
