Red Flags, Green Flags, and Grace at Work with Kaitlyn Rios

Red flags. Green flags. And the invisible signs of a toxic workplace that too many of us ignore until it's too late.

This episode brings you the powerful story of Kaitlyn Rios — her journey through burnout, the near-breaking point that changed everything, and the creation of Faced With Grace, her nonprofit dedicated to helping women navigate toxic work environments with courage and clarity.

• The subtle red flags of a toxic workplace you might be missing
• The "green flags" and glimmers that point to healthy, life-giving environments
• Her deeply personal turning point that sparked Faced With Grace
• Practical tools to set boundaries, honor your values, and know when it's time to leave
