What happens when the place you work starts to drain the very soul you bring to it? In this powerful and deeply practical episode, I sit down with Danielle Ayodele, leadership development strategist, executive coach, author, and international speaker, to talk about how to thrive spiritually, mentally, and emotionally in toxic work environments.

Drawing from her faith and experience, Danielle offers real-world wisdom for anyone trying to stay grounded in purpose while navigating corporate chaos. We unpack what it means to bring your whole, spirit-led self to work, and how to fight back, not with frustration or fear, but with spiritual weapons that protect your peace, sharpen your discernment, and keep you anchored in truth.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The signs of a spiritually toxic workplace (and how to recognize them early)
  
  
  
• Why prayer, praise, and peace are your greatest leadership tools
  
  
  
• How to respond to office politics, manipulation, or microaggressions with grace and strategy
  
  
  
• The power of discernment in decision-making and career transitions
  
  
  
• Practical steps to thrive without losing your integrity or your joy

Hey there! In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, we welcome Jeremy Gibson to explore the unspoken ways the church can wound us. Far from dramatic scandals, these hurts often show up as lingering silence, creeping shame, and the weight of spiritual burnout. Jeremy challenges the narrative that church hurt is always loud, and tells us why healing begins when we name the quiet hurts. Whether you’ve ever felt unseen in church, carried unspoken pain, or are ministering to those who have, this episode is for you.
