And if you\u2019ve been there - you\u2019re not alone. In this episode, I share my personal story of working in a high-stress, toxic environment, the signs I ignored, the impact it had on my wellbeing, and how I reached the edge of burnout. I also talk about the tool that helped me find clarity and reclaim control: mindfulness. But this isn\u2019t just about me. It\u2019s about what so many of us face - especially women in demanding leadership roles and how we can begin to shift from survival to sustainability. You\u2019ll hear:   The real signs of a toxic workplace (beyond just bad managers)   Why mindfulness isn\u2019t a quick fix, but a powerful way to come back to yourself   Practical steps to protect your energy and reconnect with your values   A reminder that you don\u2019t have to prove your worth by pushing through pain    Whether you\u2019re in the thick of it or reflecting on a difficult chapter, this episode offers hope, perspective, and permission to choose yourself.
