Most org design conversations get forced through a narrow funnel: prove the ROI, justify the spend, make the numbers work. But if work is something most people can't opt out of—and where we spend a huge chunk of our attention and waking lives—then “it pays off” feels like a painfully small standard. This week, Rodney and Sam explore the ethical case for organizational design. They move beyond spreadsheets and profit metrics to ask bigger questions about leadership, power, transparency, compensation, and the human impact of broken systems. What do organizations owe the people who work inside them? Is better workplace design a moral responsibility — not just a financial strategy? -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: r/antiwork Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi and Flow Target CEO comp package (note: New CEO's comp package is roughly $16m, vs over $70m for the prior CEO in 2020) triple bottom line John Rawls and A Theory of Justice 00:00 Check-In: What's your energy like right now? 04:04 Divorcing doing what's “good work” from ROI 08:16 A “good” experience is the exception rather than the rule 10:06 Protecting yourself isn't “selling out” 15:41 Spending our attention on worthy things 21:35 Leadership vs. worker power disparity is broken 27:31 Ethically designed companies never are publicly traded 31:07 Principles and values of ethical orgs 40:35 Joy at work shouldn't be nickled and dimed 44:35 Idea 1: Don't accept performative change initiatives 47:17 Idea 2: Audit your existing principles and values 48:35 Idea 3: Don't let leadership gaslight you into conforming 50:33 Wrap up: Leave us a review and share the show with a friend Sound engineering and design by Taylor Marvin of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Coupe Studios⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

If you're thinking about divorcing an alcoholic (or you're not ready to leave yet, but you know something has to change), this episode is for you.Morgan Stogsdill and Andrea Rappaport sit down with Jeff Wright, an insurance brokerage founder and mentor who has helped countless people navigate toxic, alcohol-fueled relationships—shaped by his own childhood experience with an abusive alcoholic parent.Together, they unpack why leaving an alcoholic spouse can feel impossible (even when the situation is clearly unsafe), how trauma bonds keep people stuck, and what “self-preservation” really looks like when you're trying to protect your children and your sanity.You'll also learn the practical steps to take before you file: who to talk to (and who not to), how to make a plan quietly, how to build confidence when you feel shattered, and what legal tools can help keep kids safe—including monitoring options like Soberlink, testing, and supervised parenting time.If you've been surviving in chaos, consider this your permission slip to stop normalizing it—and start building a path out.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy living with an alcoholic partner can distort your reality and decision-makingThe real reasons people stay (hint: it's often not money)What a trauma bond is and why “they hurt you, then hug you” feels like loveHow alcoholism impacts the drinker's brain—and why denial can be extremeHow to assess your home environment: stress signals, kids' behavior, and “waiting for them to come home” tensionWhat self-preservation actually means: privacy, planning, and choosing the right supportWhy your divorce attorney is not your therapist—and why you need bothConcrete action steps: quiet planning, go-bag/documents, separate accounts, and rebuilding confidenceLegal tools that can support safety for kids (monitoring/testing options and structured parenting arrangements)Episode Highlights / Timestamps00:00 The reality: alcoholism can make you question your judgment and reality00:57 Sponsor: OurFamilyWizard + discount code02:11 Who this episode is for (especially if you haven't left yet)03:07 Meet Jeff Wright and why this is his mission06:07 Jeff's childhood with an abusive alcoholic father (and lasting impact)08:17 Morgan explains why this becomes “normal” when you're living it10:29 Why people don't leave: kids, fear,...

The Soil Sisters welcome one of their former coaches and teachers, Dr. Nelson Coulter, to the podcast to discuss his experience in Texas public schools. This discussion takes a ground-level look at changing school food systems and what becomes possible when communities prioritize health. Dr. Coulter explains the steps and bureaucracy involved in formally leaving the National School Lunch Program, the budget tradeoffs required, and why small districts can oftentimes innovate faster. The conversation covers what changed after the shift—less food waste, steadier energy and performance throughout the day, improved athletic practices, reduced after-school overeating at home, and better behavioral self-regulation—along with ideas for making healthier student meals feasible in all school districts. Dr. Coulter also shares how permaculture and regenerative practices shape his family's ranch life, food production, and self-sufficiency. TIME STAMPS:00:00 Welcome to the Soil Sisters Podcast00:26 Meet Dr. Nelson “Coach” Coulter01:31 Reconnected During a Regenerative Soil Textbook Delivery03:42 Returning to West Texas & Rethinking What Schools Are For07:47 Building the Guthrie Graduate Profile (soft skills over test scores) 10:02 Replacing Test Prep with a School Garden11:58 Health Wake-Up Call: Educator & Student Wellness19:37 First Steps to Healthier Cafeterias26:36 Budgeting for Better Food30:53 Divorcing the National School Lunch Program36:20 Kids Actually Eat It: Cutting Food Waste With Real Lunches38:43 From School Garden to Cafeteria: Harvesting, Preserving, Sharing 40:12 Is This Feasible for Average School Districts?

In this episode of Confident Coparenting™, Jeanne sits down with her son, Ethan, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about what divorce feels like from a child's perspective—both in the moment and years later. Together, they explore the emotions kids often carry quietly during divorce, what adults tend to underestimate, and how communication, reassurance, and emotional safety can make a lasting difference. Ethan shares what helped him feel grounded, how he navigated loyalty and pressure, and what he believes every parent should remember about their child during this time. This conversation is not about blame or judgment. It's about listening—really listening—to the inner world of kids and young adults as they experience family change. Whether you are a parent navigating divorce, a co-parent, or a professional who supports families, this episode offers meaningful insight into how parents can show up in ways that help their children feel secure, supported, and seen.

If your ex is still controlling you and you keep reacting, explaining, or trying to keep the peace… you might be actively hurting your legal case without even realizing it.Because here's the thing: divorce doesn't cure controlling behavior—it often exposes it. And control doesn't always look loud. Sometimes it looks “polite.” Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like a thousand tiny moments that make your stomach drop.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, attorney Morgan Stogsdill and comedian Andrea Rappaport break down what control looks like after separation, why it escalates, and the legal + emotional action steps to shut it down.And yes—there's also a story involving a tambourine, a fire-lit “happiness class,” and a man casually threatening everyone with a tombstone. (Welcome to the show.)What You'll Learn in This Episode✅ How control shows up during divorce (even when it's not obvious)Morgan explains that control can look like:Financial control: “I'll pay when I feel like it,” monitoring spending, moving goalpostsMicromanaging parenting and second-guessing everything you doWeaponized silence / delayed responses to make you spiralMaking you feel like you need permission for decisions you don't need permission for“Polite” manipulation disguised as “concern for the kids”Why control often escalates after separationAndrea explains the psychology: when someone loses access and power, they often pull harder—because control is how they regulate their discomfort.The dangerous legal issue most people miss: “splitting”Morgan explains how controlling behavior can drive a wedge between you and your attorney—making you doubt your lawyer, hold back details, or get pulled into the ex's narrative.That's not just stressful. It can derail your strategy and cost you serious money. The communication trap that keeps you stuckIf your nervous system is hijacked every time they text you, you'll default to the old pattern:ReactingOver-explainingTrying to smooth things overTrying to get them to “understand”Which gives them exactly what they want: access.The Tools That Help You Stop the Control1) Tighten the structure (legally + logistically)Morgan explains why vague agreements don't work with controlling people. Example of vague: “reasonable communication.” Problem: “reasonable” becomes a playground for manipulation.2) Reduce accessBecause (say it with us): control fades when access fades.That may mean:limiting communicationusing a parenting appnot responding to baitpushing...

Most people expect a divorce or breakup to be painful. What they don't expect is for it to feel strategic, relentless, and never-ending. If you're separating from someone with narcissistic traits, you're likely treating it as a transition, but they're treating it like a war. Today you'll learn why divorcing or breaking up with a narcissistic partner follows a completely different set of psychological rules, the mindset shifts that help you stop taking the bait, and what you need to do differently, especially if you have kids and want to protect them long-term.____________________________Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/divorcing-or-breaking-up-with-a-narcissist Are You Divorcing or Breaking Up with Someone Who Has Narcissistic Traits?

A talk with Jackie Miller, host of the podcast “Out of Crazy Town: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist.” Jackie shares her personal story of escaping a coercively controlling, psychologically abusive marriage—and how that led her to try to help others navigating similar nightmarish situations. We talk about how these relationships evolve from subtle manipulation into abusive domination and control; and we talk about the mind-bending psychology of narcissistic abuse—projection, gaslighting, smear campaigns, and the delusional self-justifications that can make these people nearly impossible to understand. We also talk about why victims often seem “crazy” to outsiders, how abusers weaponize children and the legal system, and why staying calm in the face of harassment can be the most powerful defense.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode explores gratitude from an entirely different angle. Not the surface-level gratitude we usually hear about, but the kind that comes from the hardest chapters of life. Kara walks you through the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness and explains how emotions carry vibrational frequencies that shape our experiences. Gratitude sits at the top of the scale, yet it is often born from the moments that break us open.Inside this episode, Kara shares the stories that changed her life. Being shut out by the cool kids in 5th grade. Divorcing in her early twenties and finding her voice. The heartbreak of miscarriage and the spiritual awakening that followed, being let go from a job she overperformed in, and how it pushed her into true alignment. And the freedom that came from coming out of the spiritual closet and releasing the fear of what people think.If you are craving a deeper understanding of why the most difficult seasons often shape the strongest versions of us, this episode will speak to your heart. Kara's stories show how gratitude can transform your vibration, expand your consciousness, and help you rise into the truest version of yourself.Explore more of Kara's resources, workshops, and intuitive tools here:karmicleader.com/resources

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The loudest voice in divorce is often the one inside your head—the story that explains everything your ex does and why you're “right.” We dig into how confirmation bias narrows your view, fuels conflict, and drains families, and we show a better path: shifting from case-building to problem-solving with tools you can use today.We start by naming how adversarial systems reward selective evidence and turn parents into opposing counsel in their own lives. From emails read in the worst light to kids' struggles being used as proof, bias escalates stress, legal fees, and the sense of moral certainty that keeps you stuck. Then we pivot to what actually helps: future-focused questions, validation without villainizing, and the move from positions (“I want the house”) to interests (“I need stability and financial security”). You'll hear practical reframes, co-parenting communication tweaks, and real examples that replace blame with clarity and choice.For professionals—divorce coaches, mediators, therapists, and attorneys—we offer a blueprint to interrupt bias at the intake question, honor emotions without fueling grievance, and design processes that lower costs while protecting kids. For parents, we highlight simple, child-centered habits that rebuild trust and keep decisions grounded in what matters most. The punchline is simple: being right won't raise your children or heal your nervous system; building a livable future will.If you're ready to trade adversarial autopilot for collaboration and calm, press play. Then share your biggest reframe, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and leave a review to help more families find their way forward.

Let's face it—back to school hits different when you're divorced… and especially when you're the one stuck writing 40 thank-you notes from a six-year-old who can barely write his name.In this episode, Andrea and Morgan are tackling two of the most unhinged yet relatable parenting hurdles:

Divorcing a covert narcissist is not just about paperwork—it's about survival. Today on the Covert Narcissism Podcast, I sit down with Bree Sullivan-Howell, a seasoned family law attorney with over two decades of experience and the author of Crush Your Divorce and Keep Your Faith and Crush Your Comeback. Bree brings both practical wisdom from the courtroom and heartfelt guidance for the personal and spiritual battles that survivors face. In this powerful conversation, Bree and I dive deep into: Why narcissists view their spouse and children as possessions—and what happens when you dare to break free. The reality of post-separation abuse and how it shows up in custody battles and court filings. How legal abuse works—and why narcissists weaponize the legal system to keep control. Practical steps for documenting emotional abuse in ways that hold weight in court. The critical importance of building a support team—attorney, therapist, coach, and trusted allies—so you're not fighting this battle alone. How to become a safe haven for your children while navigating accusations of parental alienation. Why it's essential to avoid clinical labels in court and instead focus on facts and behaviors. Bree also shares her faith-based perspective on reclaiming worth, hope, and freedom—reminding us that there is life after narcissism. If you're in the thick of a high-conflict divorce, this episode is a roadmap of both strategy and encouragement. You'll walk away with clarity on what to expect, how to prepare, and the confidence that you are not alone in this fight.

Amy and T.J. are scratching their heads with the rest of you as to why former MLB player David Justice would throw shade on his ex Halle Berry, 30 years after their divorce. But if you listen beyond the headline, what he goes on to say is far worse. From explaining how she proposed to him and how he dumped her, he also talks about how they could’ve stayed together… which has to be tough for his current wife of 24 years.
