Your Corporate Survival Guide
A podcast for high-achieving corporate women especially neurodivergent and highly sensitive ones who are tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, and quietly falling apart at work. Navigating burnout, self-doubt, and workplace power games, this series uses real psychology and corporate strategy to help you regulate your emotions, trust yourself, and succeed at work without selling out who you are.Â
What Is Executive Presence (Real Talk, No Jargon)
Executive presence gets thrown around like a corporate buzzword — but most women secretly have no idea what it actually means. And if you’ve ever felt fake trying to “act confident” or “build a brand,” you’re not the problem. The language is.
In this episode we'll discuss:
What executive presence actually is (minus the jargon)Why ND and high-achieving women feel fake doing thisThe 3 essentials people trust in the roomHow to show up with presence that feels real, not forced🛠️ Download the free Spot Workplace Grooming (Free Guide + Checklist) here.

Strategic People Pleasing: Be Liked Without Being Used
Some people-pleasing is smart. But most of it? It’s default—and it’s exhausting you.
If you’re constantly saying yes before thinking, absorbing tension in meetings, or working twice as hard just to be liked—your emotional intelligence might be running on autopilot. And it’s costing you influence.
In this episode:
 What default people pleasing looks like in corporate life Why high-achieving, ND women are especially prone to it 4 “helpful” habits that are secretly holding you back How to turn people pleasing into strategic leverageThis episode helps you stop over-functioning and...
How Smart Women Accidentally Lose Influence at Work
Some power is taken. But a lot of it? We give away without realising it.
If you’re constantly second-guessing yourself after meetings, rewriting emails that are already fine, or waiting for reassurance to feel okay — you might be outsourcing your emotional regulation at work. And it’s quietly draining your influence.
In this episode:

The Hidden Emotional Labor Draining Women at Work
Some burnout is easy to spot — but some hides in plain sight.
Most women think they’re tired from tasks or meetings… but the real drain is often the hidden emotional work they do without realising it. From managing tension to smoothing over moods, this silent role exhausts you long before Monday even begins.
In this episode:
 What hidden emotional labour looks like in everyday office life Why women (especially neurodivergent) are conditioned into doing it How to tell emotional labour apart from smart office politics Practical ways to step back from the emotio...Is That Feedback Helping or Holding You Back?
Some feedback helps you grow—until it doesn’t.
You’re told to “be open to feedback,” but what happens when that feedback is vague, emotional, or just plain confusing? In this episode, we dig into the subtle ways feedback can be used to manipulate or keep you small—and how to tell the difference between real guidance and disguised criticism.
In this episode:
 The #1 question to ask when feedback feels off The difference between growth-oriented vs manipulative feedback Why women (especially neurodivergent ones) are conditioned to over-trust authority How to build your own “feedback filter” s...How to Navigate Office Politics Without Selling Your Soul (Part 2)
You don’t need to fake it to get ahead.
Once you know the rules of the corporate game, the next step is learning to play it strategically—without feeling gross, fake, or performative. Because visibility shouldn’t mean losing yourself.

How to Navigate Office Politics When You Don’t Know the Rules (Part 1)
You can be brilliant at your job—and still get overlooked.
No one teaches you how to navigate office politics, and for high-achieving, neurodivergent women, that hidden rule book can feel impossible to read. You’re told to “just focus on your work,” but hard work alone doesn’t get you seen.
In this episode:
 What office politics really are (and why avoiding them backfires) The 3 camps women fall into and how to find where you sit Why neurodivergent women are already better at the game than they think The one skill that helps you play smart...Boundaries Broken (Part 3): Navigating Workplace Trauma and Power Abuse
What do you do after something happens at work that crosses a line—emotionally, psychologically, or physically?
When things go too far, it’s easy to doubt yourself, stay silent, or wonder if you’re overreacting. This episode isn’t here to give you one “right answer”—it’s here to help you rebuild trust in your own gut and decide what’s next on your terms.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:Â
What not to do when you're in emotional shockWhat to do if you’re scared to report or unsure you’ll be believedHow t...Boundaries Broken (Part 2): How Manipulative Leaders Can Target Empathetic Women
It’s not always the loud ones you need to watch out for. Sometimes the most dangerous people at work are the ones who seem like allies.
In this episode, I explore the common personality traits of people most likely to groom in corporate environments—and why so many women miss the signs.
We’ll cover: – What makes certain personalities more likely to groom – How they gain trust, connection, and silence – What makes you (and others) vulnerable to their tactics – How to spot and protect yourself early
This is Part 2 of my Boundaries Bro...
Boundaries Broken (Part 1): Workplace Grooming – 10 Red Flags You Can’t Ignore
Workplace grooming is subtle—until it’s not.

This Is Your Corporate Survival Guide (And I’m Back)
I’ve been quiet for a while. But not because I didn’t have anything to say.
