🧠 Burnout. Breakdown. Breakthrough.
In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Powerfully Broken Podcast, Joy Jackson shares her story of overcoming a toxic workplace where the pressure was high, the support was low, and the leadership was everything but kind.
Joy opens up about the emotional toll of working under a horrible boss, the internal conflict of wanting to stay loyal vs. choosing mental health, and the moment she realized: “I needed to choose peace.”
This isn’t just a story about quitting — it’s about escaping a culture that normalized overworking, gaslighting, and emotional exhaustion.
🎙️ In this episode:
How to recognize healthy workplace patterns
The silent mental health damage caused by abusive bosses
Why being honest in an interview can help you
The fear and freedom of walking away
What healing after a toxic job actually looks like
Whether you’re burned out, gaslit, or just tired of pretending you’re okay at work — this episode is for you.
