How To Handle a Toxic Boss

July 21, 2026·25 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

If your boss constantly talks down to you, criticizes you, or makes you feel small, you don't have to just take it. In this episode, I share the phrases I would use to set boundaries, communicate with confidence, and handle difficult bosses without losing your professionalism—or your self-respect.
