If Adam Grant and Brené Brown had a smart, funny, slightly bossy sister who showed up with her own table, her own chairs, and a slightly inappropriate snack tray, you’d get Dr. Abby Medcalf.

Welcome to Workplace Therapy, the podcast where workplace relationships finally get the therapy they’ve always needed. Whether you're burned out from boundary-less coworkers, stuck in a people-pleasing loop with your boss, or dreading yet another “quick” check-in from a micromanaging manager, Abby has the insight and attitude you’ve been craving.

With decades of experience as a psychologist, organizational consultant, and no-nonsense New Yorker, Abby delivers research-backed tips and strategies you can use today. No fluff. No vague leadership lingo. Just honest talk about the human side of work and how to finally feel energized and confident in your career again.
