Ep 135 - Deanne Goodman - How to Cope with Mean Girls in the Office

Published: June 26, 2019, 7:30 a.m.

Are you happy with your job?  Have you ever dealt with a toxic workplace?  In this episode, we dive into discussing how a toxic workplace can ruin a job, and how to deal with the concept of mean girls in your office. We discuss why being positive is one of the best things you can do for yourself, and how to figure out what your purpose is in life.

In this episode, I talk with Deanne Goodman, an award-winning journalist, and host of In Happier News Podcast, about how she changed from reporting the negative news, and only focusing on positive stories. Deanne has a background in digital and TV news reporting, working in many different TV stations, and having to deal with some less than friendly office co-workers, and trying to report on the news that would allow her to move up in her career. That news meant murders, crime, fatalities, and other negative news. We discuss her wake-up call involving her biggest fan that changed her whole career and put her on the path of a new mission. Her mission is to create videos and podcasts that inspire and change lives. We discuss the challenges of working at a toxic job, and how to find your purpose and make a difference in society.

Questions I asked:

  • What changed for you, in regard to reporting?
  • Why did you start your podcast?
  • Why is it bad to be a mean girl?
  • How to change from a mean girl to a nice girl?
  • How can you keep your positivity in a negative workplace?
  • What tips would you have for someone who doesn’t like their job?
  • How can you find your passion and purpose?
