In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we dive into one of the most challenging aspects of leadership—working with toxic people. Whether it's a difficult colleague, boss, or client, toxic behaviors can chip away at your energy, confidence, and clarity. But here's the truth: you may not be able to change them, but you can control how you show up.

We explore:

• How to reclaim your power in toxic environments
• Boundaries that protect your energy and sanity
• Mindset shifts to stop taking others’ negativity personally
• Brave ways to respond—without getting pulled into the drama
• And the ultimate Small Brave Move: how to lead a tough talk that just might create change

If you’ve ever found yourself drained after a conversation, dreading a certain meeting, or questioning your ability to lead because of someone else's behavior—this episode is for you.

Learn how to rise above toxicity, preserve your leadership presence, and lead with courage.
