About this listen
In this episode, host Aundrea Cline-Thomas sits down with award-winning psychologist and author Dr. Charmaine Jackman to unpack the heavy reality of career grief and burnout. Whether you’ve recently lost a job or you’re still "armored up" in a toxic environment, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to carry the weight of your workspace alone.
Dr. Jackman shares her personal journey from a driven 9-to-5 career to "choosing herself" through entrepreneurship, and why even a therapist needs therapy when the environment becomes exploitative.
We dive deep into:
- The 5 Stages of Career Grief: Why losing a job (or a dream) feels like losing a loved one.
- The Body Keeps the Score: How to recognize the physical triggers of being "out of alignment" before the breakdown comes.
- Survival Mode vs. Safety: Why we keep working like we're being chased, even after we've escaped.
- The ACT Framework: A step-by-step process to Assess, Choose, and Tackle your well-being.

As Dr. Jackman says, our environments are often designed to exploit us, but we can choose a different path. It's time to stop giving work your "best" while your family and health get the "scraps."
