It’s a new year, and lots of people start thinking about work changes. There’s that old line: people don’t leave jobs, they leave bosses. In this episode, we look at the other side of it too. What if the relationship with your boss is something you can shape, not just suffer?
We talk about the real stuff. Walking on eggshells. Picking the “right moment”. Feeling the power gap, and worrying how honesty will land. We explore boundaries and empathy, and why you often need both at the same time. We also get into vulnerability at work, and what “being authentic” can mean without turning every meeting into oversharing.
You’ll leave with simple prompts to try, plus a cleaner way to say what you need, what you can offer, and what you can’t right now.
