Being the Black Sheep
Ep. 2 - Sheep Don’t Drink Chardonnay
Ever been the one in the office who doesn’t fake-laugh at the CEO’s lame jokes or join in the gossip just to fit in? Welcome to the club. In this episode of Being the Black Sheep, I share my own wild ride through corporate hell—complete with toxic positivity memes, wine-fueled “check-ins,” and the two little words (“Yes, boss”) that got me publicly shamed and fired.
But here’s the twist: getting canned during COVID turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I’ll walk you through how that soul-crushing job loss pushed me to stop playing small, go all-in on podcasting, and rebuild my life on my own terms.
We’ll dive into the psychology of corporate black sheep, why companies fear independent thinkers, and how to survive (or escape) when you’re allergic to corporate BS. Spoiler alert: you’re not the problem—sometimes you just need a new flock.
