The podcast about the social hierarchies that keep white men in power positions at work, most of the rest of us out of them, and what we can do about it.
You feel robbed of your dignity, treading water from the shockwaves of abuse at work. You're stuck in a state of anger, depression, and/or bitterness, ruminating about why and how you got here. You desperately want to move forward with your life after workplace abuse.
Here you will find the validation and clarity to break free of your abuser's definition of you reinforced by systems of oppression and stereotypes, heal from the trauma, and re-define your life on your own terms — and no one else's. Deb Falzoi will help you deeply understand workplace bullying so you can tap into your inner badass, screw the hierarchy, and define life on your own terms.

Pulling back the curtain on the rigged system that enables workplace abuse
Employers in the U.S. have WAY too much power. And that power reinforces white supremacy and the patriarchy. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the system to show how abuse and discrimination at work intertwine to keep white men in power — and the rest of us out.

Dr. Bonnie Candia-Bailey was a VP of student affairs at Lincoln University in Missouri when she died by suicide on January 8, 2024.
