Kate would have much rather written about strengths-based leadership—but when she noticed that 7 out of 10 leaders were operating in high-control, hierarchical, "my way or the highway" styles, and her friends kept jumping from one toxic workplace to another, she realized something had shifted. And people needed tools to protect themselves.They explore:Why you can't leave a toxic job when you need health insurance or a steady paycheck—and how to protect yourself anywayWhat it means to fill yourself to overflowing and give from the saucer (not pour from an empty cup)How to create meaning from workplace adversity instead of letting it drain youThis is a conversation for women who need to stay where they are (for now) but refuse to lose themselves in the process. What if you could thrive even when your boss is the problem?Connect with Kate:Get her book, Unbreakable: How to Thrive Under Fear-Based LeadersLinkedInInstagram @kateunbreakablelowrySubstackReferenced in this Episode:Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl________________________________________________________________________________________ Connect with Wendy: LinkedinInstagram: @phineaswrighthouseFacebook: Phineas Wright House Website: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and Travel Interested in being a guest on the show?
