Reclaiming Yourself After a Toxic Workplace with Alexis Becerra, leadership coach and trauma-trained expert

Today on Tamarindo, we’re joined by Alexis Becerra, a Latina leadership coach, trauma-trained expert, and licensed marriage and family therapist with more than a decade of experience, for a conversation about what happens when work starts changing you. We talk about how to recognize when a workplace has crossed from stressful into toxic, why it can be so difficult to trust your own instincts while you’re in it, and how unhealthy work environments can affect your confidence, identity, and sense of self.

Drawing from both her clinical background and her work coaching Latina professionals, Alexis shares practical ways to protect your peace when leaving isn’t immediately an option, how to think about boundaries when you don’t have much power in the workplace, and what it can look like to rebuild after a difficult professional experience.  Learn more about Alexis: Website:  https://www.itsalexisbecerra.com/

Before the interview, Brenda and Delsy talk about the art of managing your mood — the small things that help us reset, regulate, and keep someone else’s energy from becoming our own.
