"Before I decide that I'm the problem, I'm going to make sure I'm not surrounded by broken situations." - Nicole Trick Steinbach 

One powerful quote can help you quickly clear up a stressful, unrewarding career situations: “Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.” ― William Gibson

I share personal and client experiences to help you reflect on current career situations that are burning you out and aren't actually your fault. Especially for women in male-dominated industries, we often turn negative situations inward, questioning our own abilities and blaming ourselves incorrectly. We take accountability for bad product, bad processes, broken standards, and even a$$hole behavior. All of it keeps you stressed out, overworking, and underpaid. 

Instead, I suggest bravely navigating the balance between areas for growth and refusing to take on blame that isn't yours.
