Fresh perspectives on toxic work environments. 

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sophie to talk about the three years she spent in an unhealthy, toxic work environment. We explore how easy it is to feel trapped, and how your brain can adapt to dysfunction when you’re in survival mode.

Sophie shares her experience of being in such a heightened state of stress that she couldn’t eat breakfast, lived in constant fight or flight, and even hid a spare makeup palette in the disabled toilet, knowing that she would need to touch up her makeup after being verbally abused in heated meetings. (Shout out to Maybelline mascara!) 

Her vulnerable account of events brings fresh insight into how toxic environments can warp our sense of normality and take over our lives.

We also talk about the turning point, the moment Sophie finally trusted her intuition and started to look for alternative jobs. 

If you’ve ever questioned your work environment and feel like your nervous system is trying to tell you something, this episode is for you!
