Frenemies at Work: The Hidden Threat You’re Ignoring

They smile, they compliment, they even laugh at your jokes—but something always feels off. In this episode, Kwame Christian sits down with NYU psychology professor and best-selling author Tessa West to uncover the real danger of workplace frenemies. From subtle mixed signals to the science of stress, you’ll learn how these ambiguous relationships drain your confidence, distort your judgment, and quietly sabotage your career. You’ll also discover: – Why consistency matters more than kindness – The behavioral cues that reveal discomfort and distrust – How to collect real data on your workplace relationships – What to do when a "nice" colleague is actually your biggest obstacle If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, second-guessed your instincts, or felt tension with someone who's "never done anything wrong"—this episode is for you.
