    Flourish: Behind Frenemy Lines - Breaking Down Toxic Workplaces with Amber Tichenor
    Sep 16 2025
    September 16, 2025: What happens when brilliant women walk out and toxic ones stay? Amber Tichenor, PhD, organizational psychologist, speaker, and author of "Behind Frenemy Lines," exposes the hidden reality of female rivalry plaguing healthcare workplaces. From high-stakes environments at NASA and IBM to today's nursing units, Amber reveals how she uncovered this phenomenon through research, only to find herself trapped in the very dynamics she'd studied. Why do female-dominated healthcare settings become breeding grounds for undermining behaviors, and how does your brain react to workplace exclusion the same way it responds to physical danger? The conversation uncovers the cultural costs of ignoring these toxic patterns and explores whether organizations can move beyond superficial solutions to create genuine psychological safety.
