Are you feeling lost in a toxic workplace where higher-ups seem oblivious to your plight or, worse, pouring gasoline onto the fire? Let me assure you; you're not alone and, more importantly, you're tougher than you realize. In this episode, we explore the harsh truth of the business world where decisions are often driven by financial gain, leaving employee welfare on the back-burner. But it's not all doom and gloom; we have your back with strategies on seeking validation, setting boundaries, and seeing the experience as a stepping stone if necessary.
Remote work, although a savior for some, can however result in feelings of isolation and loneliness for others. We delve into this, discussing the importance of setting boundaries for a healthy work-life balance. We explore why it’s critical to infuse moments of play into your workday and maintain a healthy social life. We also shed light on the struggle of setting boundaries and how emotions like fear, guilt, and control can play a part. We round off the episode with strategies on how to advocate for yourself and take ownership of your life while prioritizing your well-being.
