Dear boss babe.. if your job has you questioning your worth, dreading Mondays, or constantly walking on eggshells—this one’s for you.

In this week’s pep talk, we get real about what it feels like to be stuck in a toxic workplace and how to reclaim your peace, confidence, and sense of control.

I share my own story of staying too long in a “dream job” that was quietly draining me—and the moment I realized the bravest thing she could do was leave.

You’ll hear practical steps to help you protect your mental health, build a safety net, and plan your exit with clarity and self-respect. This isn’t about quitting on impulse—it’s about choosing you.

Because you can be ambitious and protect your peace. You can be a high achiever and say no to burnout. And you can absolutely quit your job without losing your power.

In this episode:

• How to spot red flags in a toxic workplace
• Why fear keeps you stuck (and how to rewrite that story)
• Steps to plan your exit strategy with confidence
• Small daily actions to start detaching emotionally
• What freedom and fulfillment actually feel like on the other side
  

If this episode hit home, go listen to Episode 121 for the full step-by-step on spotting red flags, protecting your peace, and leaving your job with both strategy and self-respect.
