Red Flags, White Flags and Career Scars

Jessica and Nat dive into the workplace moments that seem to stick with you forever. Awkward feedback, burnout spirals, public call-outs, and tiny comments your brain somehow decided to archive for the next 15 years. They unpack how perfectionism, overworking, and self-doubt can shape the way we show up at work, and why so many high performers end up tying their self-worth to their output. Along the way, they explore burnout, boundaries, and the pressure to constantly prove yourself. You'll hear about: 1️⃣ Why "small" workplace moments can leave lasting career scars 2️⃣ How perfectionism turns work into one giant risk-management strategy 3️⃣ Why small shifts and boundaries matter more than being perfect If you've ever replayed feedback in the shower, convinced yourself one mistake ruined your career, or worked way too hard trying to prove you belong, this episode will feel painfully relatable. 🌐 Connect with us: Kind of Crushing It LinkedIn Have topics you want us to cover?
