May 14 2024 • 41 mins

Have you ever felt like the very job that's supposed to empower you is the one chipping away at your soul?

Psychologist Dr. Kimani Norrington-Sands joins The Besties to shed light on the harsh realities Black women often encounter in toxic work environments. Her journey from a stifling workplace to a thriving private practice is a testament to the resilience and fortitude it takes to reclaim one's professional life. In this week’s episode they delve into the tools and strategies she's developed to guide women towards careers that celebrate respect and personal fulfillment.

Dr Kimani’s Job Liberation Virtual Summit May 18-19 and Black Women Healing from Toxic Jobs Coaching Program are beacons of hope, providing a roadmap for those ready to pivot away from negativity and towards a future work environment they deserve.

In the usual Besties fashion, the conversation with Dr. Kimani goes beyond the surface, unraveling the psychological toll and the importance of recognizing the signs of an oppressive job. She shares actionable advice on crafting an exit strategy that doesn't just focus on leaving, but on landing safely—mentally and financially. It's a reminder that self-respect is non-negotiable and that empowerment begins the moment you start putting yourself first.
