Leadership & Culture

Working in occupational rehabilitation has shown me that psychological injuries rarely happen overnight. Many women I’ve supported were navigating the effects of burnout, chronic stress, workplace bullying, and toxic work cultures long before they stepped away from work. Workplace wellbeing isn’t just about helping employees become more resilient, it’s also about creating healthier, psychologically safe workplaces where people can sustainably thrive.

Because healing is the first step toward clarity.

As a burnout and career coach, my personal struggles with body image completely reshaped the way I support women. Discover how body shame and burnout are connected and why your healing starts with compassion, not control.

I've been working with a client who has been dealing with workplace bullying and harassment, and let me tell you, it’s heartbreaking. But here’s the thing: the biggest issue isn’t just the bully. It’s the colleagues who see what’s happening and choose to stay silent, hoping to avoid becoming the next target. The reality? When bystanders ignore workplace bullying, they become part of the problem. Left unchecked, bullying doesn’t just harm the direct victim, it seeps into the

Have you ever left work feeling absolutely wiped out, not because of the tasks but because of the people? If that resonates, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about something that could be quietly draining your energy, toxic workplace behaviour. Simon Sinek, in his eye-opening video about toxic people at work, explains how trust outweighs performance when building great teams. The Navy SEALs, for instance, won’t pick someone who’s a high performer but low on trust. Why? Because to
