Ever felt stuck dealing with that boss—the one who’s not just tough but actually crosses into uncomfortable or even toxic territory?

In this episode, I’m tackling an uncomfortable but crucial topic, the female leader who, despite knowing the struggle herself, makes things difficult for other women.

We’ll unpack why this happens, from unresolved trauma to harsh work environments, and the roles we unconsciously play in workplace drama.

I’ll also walk you through what to do if you’re facing this kind of challenge, from documenting incidents to seeking support.

Remember, no one deserves to be bullied, and understanding what might be going on isn’t about excusing it, it’s about empowering you to take action and protect your well being.

Let’s face the tough stuff together and create healthier workspaces!
