Unshakeable

Welcome to "Unshakeable", the podcast that doesn’t hold your hand, pat your head, or tell you everything will be fine. Spoiler: it won’t be fine, not unless you do something about it. Today, we’re tackling a skill that’s more important than updating your résumé or pretending to care about team-building exercises. It’s the art of subtle defiance. You know, the fine-tuned ability to push back against workplace nonsense without waving a red flag in front of the office bull. Think of it as workplace aikido—redirecting energy instead of throwing punches. No confrontation, no fireworks, just you slowly, quietly reclaiming your power like the gloriously petty strategist you were born to be.

Welcome to "Unshakeable," where we take your workplace nightmares, shine a floodlight on them, and then hand you a flamethrower to burn that mess down. Today’s topic is a fan favorite—emotional manipulation. You know it, you hate it, and yet it somehow sneaks into your life like that one coworker who always “forgets” to CC you on important emails. Emotional manipulation is a game, my friends, and in this episode, we’re going to talk about how to beat it without losing your mind, your job, or your criminal record.

Welcome to "Unshakeable", the podcast that slices through workplace nonsense like a hot knife through butter.

Welcome to "Unshakeable", the podcast that calls out the bull, flips the script, and gives you the tools to thrive in the corporate jungle—or at least survive it without losing your sanity. Today, we’re peeling back the layers on a particularly insidious breed of workplace predator: the manipulative charmer, or as I like to call them, professional PUAs. No, I’m not talking about the sleazy pickup artists who plague YouTube with bad fashion advice and worse dating tips. I’m talking about workplace PUAs—people who manipulate with charm, charisma, and just the right mix of faux vulnerability to make you doubt your instincts while they climb over you to the top.

Welcome back to "Unshakeable", the podcast where we dissect the corporate cesspool one toxic behavior at a time. Today, we’re tackling gaslighting in the workplace. That charming little manipulation tactic where someone tries to make you doubt your reality. Gaslighting isn’t just annoying—it’s psychological warfare. It’s the art of slowly convincing you that you’re the problem, that your memory is faulty, that you’re too sensitive, and that maybe, just maybe, the office really "does" need that guy Steve who hasn’t done actual work since the Obama administration. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. But Steve sure knows how to make you feel like you’re imagining things.

Welcome back to "Unshakeable", the podcast where we don’t sugarcoat workplace survival. Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s as sneaky as it is powerful: leveraging positive rumors to create a protective halo around yourself. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh great, another episode about playing nice,” let me stop you right there. This isn’t about being nice. It’s about being smart. In a toxic workplace, the way people perceive you often matters more than the actual work you do. Sad? Yes. Unfair? Absolutely. But reality doesn’t care about fairness, and neither should you.

Welcome to "Unshakeable," where we don’t mince words, hold hands, or pretend “it’s not that bad.” Today’s episode is all about handling gossipmongers, those slippery, two-faced little weasels who thrive on whispers, half-truths, and just enough plausible deniability to slink away when things blow up. But here’s the twist: we’re not just surviving their nonsense. Oh no, today we’re learning the fine art of "tactical embarrassment." Think of it as the corporate version of flipping the chessboard, except you walk away looking like a strategic genius while they’re left scrambling to pick up the pieces.

Welcome back to "Unshakeable", the podcast where we take the gloves off and deal with toxic workplace behavior in a way HR would never approve of. Today, we’re diving deep into the black arts of office politics—specifically, whisper campaigns. You know, those insidious little narratives that slither through the office corridors, spreading rumors and half-truths designed to ruin your reputation faster than you can say “performance improvement plan.” But today, we’re not just going to talk about surviving them. No, no. We’re going to flip the script. You’re going to learn how to take that whisper campaign and redirect it right back at your enemies. Because sometimes the best defense is a good offense, and honestly, if they brought the fight to you, it’s only polite to finish it.

Welcome back to "Unshakeable", the podcast where we dissect the grotesque underbelly of the workplace so you don’t lose your mind trying to survive it. Today’s topic is one of my personal favorites: gossip. Specifically, how to become completely, unapologetically gossip-proof. Because if there’s one thing toxic workplaces love more than pointless meetings and blaming the intern, it’s gossip. It’s the lifeblood of corporate dysfunction, the original reality TV show, except nobody wins a cash prize.
