"Before I decide that I'm the problem, I'm going to make sure I'm not surrounded by broken situations." - Nicole Trick Steinbach 
One powerful quote can help you quickly clear up a stressful, unrewarding career situations: “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” ― William Gibson
I share personal and client experiences to help you reflect on current career situations that are burning you out and aren't actually your fault. Especially for women in male-dominated industries, we often turn negative situations inward, questioning our own abilities and blaming ourselves incorrectly. We take accountability for bad product, bad processes, broken standards, and even a$$hole behavior. All of it keeps you stressed out, overworking, and underpaid. 
Instead, I suggest bravely navigating the balance between areas for growth and refusing to take on blame that isn't yours. 
If you're seeking structured support, download the free Accountability Triangle to help you get clear on what is going on and how to fix it without overworking. Download it at https://tricksteinbach.com/work-less/
