Jessica Childress, a lawyer, author, and workplace culture expert, returns to the show for a deeper look at what toxic workplaces really do to people on the inside. Not the office politics. The quiet internal damage that slowly strips away confidence, identity, and direction.We discuss real-life examples, including the subtle red flags people often ignore, the way self-doubt takes hold, and why so many capable professionals stay long after the job has started to break them. We also explore the practical tools that help you recognise when staying is doing more harm than good, and the steps people take to rebuild their sense of self once they finally leave.A grounded and honest conversation for anyone who feels worn down, stuck, or unsure whether the problem is the workplace or the voice inside their own head. If you are trying to find your way back to yourself, this episode will give you clarity, language, and direction.Thanks for listening to Peace at the Water Cooler. Conflict doesn’t fix itself, but it can shift, with the right conversation.
