Office Real Talk with Tas

Corporate burnout, the soft life, and quitting your job

The internet loves to sell women extreme career narratives. One minute it’s “girl boss harder”. The next it’s “quit your job, move abroad, and soft life your way through a Tuesday afternoon Pilates class”. But real life is usually way more nuanced than that. This week, Corporate Exec Tas gets honest about the reality behind corporate careers, entrepreneurship, burnout, financial independence, and the pressure women feel to build the “perfect” life online. Expect real talk on: 🎙️ Why corporate and entrepreneurship are both hard in completely different ways 🎙️ The danger of quitting your job without a plan 🎙️ Why burnout is often deeper than just workload New episodes every Wednesday.

Real talk: balancing ADHD and a corporate career

When most people picture ADHD, they probably don’t picture a successful woman in corporate leadership. But that’s exactly why so many people miss it. And why so many people don't know how to balance neurodiversity alongside a corporate career. Or why so many employees fail to show up to support neurodivergent team members. And if you dont have ADHD, you're probably already masking, balancing and navigating work despite struggles you may have. This week, Corporate Exec Tas opens up about her experience of ADHD in the corporate world. Expect real talk on: 🎙️ What ADHD can actually look like in high-performing corporate team members 🎙️ How ADHD can show up, and how the system fails team members with ADHD 🎙️ Whether to disclose it or not 🎙️ The frameworks and processes she now uses to work with her brain instead of against it - applicable if you have ADHD or not!

No more imposter syndrome: why this isn’t your problem at work

Real talk: “imposter syndrome” is not your problem at work. It’s become the catch-all label for feeling unsure in your career. But in reality, "imposter syndrome" is a phrase that's covering a mix of very real things: lack of support, unclear expectations, being in rooms that don’t feel safe, or doing something new for the first time. And when you label it as imposter syndrome, you risk making it a you problem, instead of questioning the environment around you. In this episode of Office Real Talk, senior corporate exec Tas breaks down what’s actually going on when you feel you have imposter syndrome, and what to do about it. Expect real talk on: • Why we feel “imposter syndrome” • The different triggers behind those feelings (and how to spot yours) • How to build real evidence that backs you in high-pressure moments • Practical ways to prepare, show up, and stop second-guessing yourself So if you’ve ever felt like you’re always about to be “found out” at work, this episode will help you understand why, and give you something concrete to do about it.
