Why Smart People Can’t Leave Toxic Jobs (Even With Money Saved)
Are you suddenly doubting yourself, overthinking every move, or feeling stuck in your career?
In this episode, Fela Rosa uncovers why decision paralysis hits high-performing professionals the hardest, and how toxic workplaces condition you to believe you’re not capable, not qualified, or not ready for your next step.
She broke down:
✔️ How gaslighting destroys your professional judgment
✔️ The psychological traps toxic bosses use to keep you stuck
✔️ Why even C-level executives and PhDs fall into learned helplessness
✔️ How reality distortion breaks down your confidence and identity
✔️ Why traditional “boundaries” don’t work in toxic environments
✔️ How to rebuild your self-trust, clarity, and decision-making
✔️ The first strategic steps to escape a toxic job safely
If your confidence feels shattered, if you’re exhausted from overthinking, or if you’re afraid things might be “worse somewhere else,” this video will help you understand:
💡 What you’re experiencing is normal. It’s not your fault.
And you CAN get out. REBUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE. RECLAIM YOUR CAREER.
