Thoughts From My Thirties

Jess Hilarious' Crash Out Re-triggerd My Corporate Trauma


Listen Later

This one is for the millennial who is fed up with corporate culture...

Jess Hilarious went viral after her Breakfast Club drama, but for me? It triggered some deep, deep wounds from my own corporate trauma.

In this episode, I’m peeling back the layers on...


-The performative nature of corporate jobs & why so many of us have to shrink ourselves to survive.

-The emotional and psychological toll of workplace politics.

-Why black spaces in corporate settings can be just as toxic—if not worse.

-The realities of layoffs, gaslighting, and why HR is never on your side.

-The ongoing battle between financial security and creative freedom.
