Moving to San Diego for a coveted job felt like the next logical step, but nothing prepared me for the frosty reception that awaited. In this episode, I share my first days on the job and how I learned that my assistant had been eyeing the same role for years. Because she didn’t hold a degree, she’d been passed over repeatedly, and my arrival reignited old wounds. I threw myself into the work, logging long days and nights to prove my worth, and my health began to pay the toll as the stress mounted. From silent stares to whispered resentment, I recount how unspoken expectations and a lack of advancement opportunities can poison a workplace. Join me as I navigate professional jealousy, discuss the value of qualifications, and find a path toward grace and growth when ambition collides with reality.
