Hey friend! Ever worked in a place that felt more like survival than success? You’re not alone—and today’s guest, Kelsey Neff, is here to flip the script.

Kelsey is the founder of By Design Consulting, author of 52 Weeks of Impact, and a former nonprofit professional who left the burnout hamster wheel to help leaders actually lead. After years of navigating toxic workplaces filled with favoritism, gaslighting, and burnout, Kelsey realized something big: she didn’t need to play the game—she could create a better one.

🎧 In this episode, we cover:

  • The red flags of toxic work culture (and what to do about them)

  • How neurodivergent employees are often the first to feel the cracks in poor leadership

  • The power of conscious leadership and trauma-informed teams

  • Why most companies confuse “policy” with “culture”

  • How to quit with integrity and never lose your values

Whether you're an emerging leader, neurodivergent worker, or just ready to reclaim your energy, this conversation is full of validation, insight, and practical steps to build better workplaces.
