S9 Ep 10
In this highly anticipated conclusion to our powerful two-part replay, Raslyn C. Wooten continues her incredible journey of surviving and thriving despite facing repeated workplace sabotage at Target. If you thought Part 1 was intense, buckle up—Raslyn’s story only gets more compelling as she details exactly how she navigated the politics, bias, and systemic gaslighting that tried to derail her career.
This episode is essential listening for anyone who’s ever had their excellence questioned, their confidence shaken, or their potential undermined by toxic workplace tactics. Raslyn doesn’t just survive; she flips the script, reclaiming her power and using each challenge as a stepping stone toward greater clarity, strength, and strategic career advancement.
As Raslyn unpacks the dynamics of her situation, we also gain deeper insight into the harmful culture hidden behind the glossy exterior of corporate “diversity” initiatives. With Target’s recent dismantling of their $2 billion REACH initiative and the backlash they’re facing, Raslyn’s experiences highlight the critical lesson: performative allyship isn’t just inadequate—it’s damaging.
Join us as we close this replay with strategies you can use right now to protect your career, sanity, and dignity in environments that don’t value your worth.
