Retail Triggers & The Toll We Don’t Talk About — with Phaedra
it’s time to say the quiet parts out loud.
In this episode, Hilary welcomes back her longtime friend and fellow retail veteran, Phaedra, for a raw, real, and surprisingly relatable conversation about the triggers, stress, and emotional toll that come with a life behind the counter.
From morning meeting call-outs and impossible goals, to holiday chaos, demanding clients, toxic leadership, and the constant pressure to perform — we break down what retail does to you mentally, emotionally, and physically over time.
No names, no companies… just lived experiences.
