the Girl Banker Podcast

May is Mental Health Awareness Month so there is no better time to talk about the impact of toxic work environments and toxic bosses on our mental health. In this episode, Natalie and her guest, Allyson Twiggs Dyer, break down the warning signs and red flags of a toxic work environment and discuss ways to navigate such a challenging situation.

Join Natalie and Allyson as they interview Shamim Okolloh, VP, Community Outreach Officer, at Encore Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shamim and her son, Liam, recently published "Ella the Banker," a children's book about her daughter, Ella, who visits a bank and wants to become a banker.
