🎙 Podcast Episode 8: How We Bully Ourselves 

 

We’ve spent this season uncovering workplace bullying—from toxic bosses to manipulative colleagues and even entire company cultures that grind people down. But what if the harshest bully in your career is actually... you? 

 

In Episode 8, Dr. Michelle King and Selina Suresh explore how self-doubt, perfectionism, and relentless self-criticism create an internal bully—one that follows us around, even when no one else is watching. Through eye-opening research and real-world insights, they reveal how our biggest career obstacles often aren’t external but internal. 

 

💡 Key Takeaways:  

  • Self-doubt and perfectionism can hold you back more than external obstacles. 
  • Comparing yourself to others fuels insecurity and dissatisfaction. 
  • Self-compassion is a powerful tool for building resilience and motivation. 
  • Cognitive reframing helps change negative thought patterns and fosters growth. 
  • Success isn’t about proving your worth—it’s about recognising you’re already enough. 

 

🎧 Listen Now and learn how to stop being your own worst enemy. Because the biggest bully in your workplace might not be your boss or colleagues—it might be you.
