TUNE IN TO THE EPISODE: APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | YOUTUBE
If you’ve ever gone home after a rough day at work and asked yourself, “Is it me… or is it the job?” — this episode is for you.
This is honestly one of the most common questions I get from the women I coach. And it’s a hard one, because the answer isn’t always black and white.
Listen to the episode:
Sometimes it IS you (and that’s okay — owning that is power). Sometimes it IS the job. And sometimes? It’s both. Knowing the difference is everything.
In this episode, I’m walking you through what I call the Six Layers of Excavation — a framework I use with my own clients to help you stop second-guessing yourself and finally get clear on where you actually stand.
We go from the inside out, starting with your own patterns and blind spots, all the way to evaluating the environment itself.
I also get into the four non-negotiables — the situations where no amount of mindset work or reframing is going to fix things, and where the only real answer is getting out. Because I never want you to use this framework to gaslight yourself into staying somewhere that’s actually harmful.
By the end, you’ll have the clarity to make a decision you can feel grounded in — whether that’s staying and advocating harder, or finally giving yourself permission to look for the door.
