Why Toxic Bosses Need You to Be “Toxically Positive”
Get UNSTUCK with the toxic boss reset – the exact process that helped so many high performers in toxic jobs.
Toxic bosses don’t need you to be realistic.
They need you to be toxically positive.
And if your first thought is “what the actual f**k?” you’re exactly where you need to be. In this episode of the Corporate Warriors Podcast, I explain why toxic bosses require a specific mindset to survive them without losing your sanity, self-worth, or mental health.
This is not about pretending your boss is a blessing. It’s not about gratitude. And it’s definitely not about being naïve. It’s about strategy.
Toxic positivity, in this context, is about reclaiming the narrative. Because the moment you let a toxic boss define your story, your confidence, or your career path, they’ve already won. In this episode, I walk you through 7 reasons I’ve seen again and again, in my own experience and in my work with high performers, why toxic bosses can unintentionally become catalysts for long-term growth, leadership, and clarity.
Listen now on your favorite platform!
We talk about:
- How trauma bonding with colleagues creates strong, long-term career networks
- Why you often become a leader without the title in toxic environments
- What toxic bosses teach you about true leadership by showing you exactly what it is not
- Why being targeted forces you to question your entire career and purpose
- How toxic leadership brings unresolved trauma to the surface, so it can finally heal
- What living through power plays teaches you about corporate politics
- Why understanding narcissism changes how you move through work and life forever.
