What Happens When a Successful Career Stops Being Safe?
With Jen Maldonado · September 7, 2026
A conversation with host Jen Maldonado about toxic work environments, rebuilding self-trust after your confidence has been shaken, and why leaving isn't as simple as "just quit."
From the conversation
- “At one point, a workplace experience affected my confidence so deeply that I began questioning myself and what I knew to be true.”
- “Getting out was only one part of healing. I had to rebuild my self-trust.”
- “My abilities had not disappeared. I simply needed to reconnect with them.”
- “Leaving a difficult job does not always have to happen overnight. Sometimes the first step is building a support system and preparing to leave safely.”
