Breaking Free from Toxic Workplaces and Outdated Career Myths
Description
In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics podcast, host Michael Walker talks with leadership coach Kelcy Heringer about burnout, toxic workplaces, and why working harder doesn’t always lead to success. Kelcy brings fresh, honest advice to help professionals rethink how they grow their careers.
She explains how being the “get stuff done” person can actually hold you back. When you’re always the one people rely on, it’s easy to be seen as a helper—not a leader. Kelcy shares how to shift your focus from just doing tasks to building influence and value.
They also talk about how to spot toxic work cultures, why it’s okay to speak up, and how setting boundaries is key. Kelcy encourages listeners to stop waiting for permission and start taking charge of their own career path.
If you’ve ever felt overworked or stuck, this episode will help you take back your power and move toward a career that feels right for you.
