Should You Sleep With Your Boss?

Sleeping with your boss can feel exciting, validating, and intensely attractive—but it can also create a complicated mix of secrecy, power, guilt, career risk, and emotional confusion.

In this episode of The Self Help Briefing, Mike and Jen unpack why workplace affairs can feel so intense, how power imbalances can affect the relationship, and why that uneasy feeling in your gut may be worth paying attention to. They also discuss the possible professional and emotional consequences, the questions to ask yourself, and what it means to make a decision that lines up with your values and long-term goals.
