When Your Boss Isn’t the Problem… You Are

The Legacy Lounge

In this powerful episode of Legacy Lounge, host Brin'na Rollins-Williams dives into the difficult realization that sometimes, the biggest obstacle to personal and professional growth isn’t a bad boss—it’s ourselves. She shares a deeply personal story about how small compromises and shape-shifting to fit into a toxic leadership environment led her to lose sight of her authentic self.

If you’ve ever found yourself shrinking, staying quiet, or compromising your values for the sake of comfort, this episode is for you. Brin'na challenges listeners to reclaim their voices, choose authenticity over approval, and take back control of their own leadership legacy.

Key Takeaways:

✔️ People don’t leave bad businesses; they leave bad bosses – and environments where they can’t be themselves.

✔️ The dangers of compromise – How small justifications can lead to losing sight of your true identity.

✔️ The power of self-awareness – Recognizing when you’ve prioritized external expectations over your values.

✔️ Choosing yourself – Your legacy isn’t about titles or achievements, but who you become in the process.

Reflection questions:

• What small compromises are you making daily?

• Where have you lost touch with your authentic self?

• What would it look like to fully show up as YOU again?
