You don’t know how you’re going to do it (yet!) but you suspect the process will require you to be braver. Enter the Build Your Brave Career podcast.

episode 155: Recognizing Toxic Career Surroundings: Create Clarity to Stress Less and Craft Positive Professional Growth E155
"Before I decide that I'm the problem, I'm going to make sure I'm not surrounded by broken situations." - Nicole Trick Steinbach
One powerful quote can help you quickly clear up a stressful, unrewarding career situations: “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” ― William Gibson
I share personal and client experiences to help you reflect on current career situations that are burning you out and aren't actually your fault. Especially for women in male-dominated industries, we often turn negative situations inward, questioning our own abilities and blaming ourselves incorrectly. We take accountability for bad product, bad processes, broken standards, and even a$$hole behavior. All of it keeps you stressed out, overworking, and underpaid.
Instead, I suggest bravely navigating the balance between areas for growth and refusing to take on blame that isn't yours.
