In this conversation, Sarah Davis, Workplace Strategy Lead at HED,  discusses the importance of human-centered workplace design and its impact on employee well-being and organizational culture. She emphasizes how physical office environments should align with company values and support different work behaviors. The discussion highlights the need for gathering diverse employee perspectives when designing workspaces and the strategic role of the office in fostering collaboration, creativity, and social connection. Sarah advocates for moving beyond traditional office layouts to create intentional spaces that enhance rather than hinder employee performance and satisfaction.Connect with Sarah Davis here:https://hed.co/https://www.linkedin.com/company/hed-architecture-engineering/Connect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciChapters00:00 Introduction to Human-Centered Workplace Design04:30 Aligning Physical Space with Company Culture11:34 Defining the Purpose of the Office18:11 Moving Beyond Productivity to Experience-Focused Design25:45 From Paper Decisions to Real Employee Experience29:53 The Impact of Good Design on Employee Performance33:23 Resources and How to ConnectIf you found our discussion insightful, we'd like you to take a moment to rate our podcast.

Purity culture promised protection and blessing, but for many it left a legacy of shame, confusion, and even distance from God. In this episode, we sit down with licensed psychologist Dr. Camden Morgante who knows the struggle firsthand, both personally and professionally. She shares her own story of growing up in purity culture, the myths that shaped her faith, and the painful ways those messages got tangled with her sense of identity and sexuality. Together, we unpack what it looks like to heal from toxic beliefs while holding onto a faith that is life-giving, embodied, and whole. You'll hear how she helps clients disentangle shame from sexuality in a distinctly Christian context, and how she found freedom herself while still embracing a traditional Christian sexual ethic but without the weight of fear and condemnation. If you've ever wrestled with purity culture's ideas or impact, this conversation offers a hopeful, grace-filled path forward.

It's not something God just “puts up with.” It's a gift meant to be celebrated between a husband and wife. Genesis 2:24-25 reminds us that in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were naked and felt no shame. Physical intimacy was God's idea—and He designed it to bring joy, unity, and blessing.Proverbs 5:18-19 paints a beautiful picture of marital love: “Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you… may you always be captivated by her love.” And in 1 Corinthians 7:5, Paul encourages married couples to stay connected physically, only stepping back from intimacy temporarily and mutually for the purpose of prayer. Then, he says, come back together so the enemy doesn't use that gap to tempt you.Beware of the Enemy's TacticsJesus warns us in John 10:10 that the thief's purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. One of the enemy's favorite ways to attack a marriage is by eroding physical intimacy. For decades, experts have said that money and sex are two of the leading causes of divorce. Even if a couple stays married, when intimacy suffers, joy and connection often fade.That's why Philippians 4:6 is so important: pray about everything—including your physical relationship. Ask God to protect your marriage from division in this area. Pray for open and loving communication. Pray for healing if there's been broken trust, sexual sin, or wounds from the past. And if either spouse is carrying shame or guilt, ask God to lift that burden and restore joy.Filling Your Spouse's Love TankEphesians 5:25 calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially and selflessly. One of the best ways to build desire for intimacy is by speaking your spouse's love language:Quality TimeWords of AffirmationPhysical TouchActs of ServiceGiftsThe key is loving your spouse in ways that are meaningful to them, not just in ways that are natural to you. That means learning what fills their “love tank” and making it a priority. If her love language is physical touch, make sure there's affectionate touch that isn't just a lead-in to sex. If it's quality time, let her define what that means—unhurried, undistracted time together. When your wife feels loved, seen, and valued, intimacy naturally grows.The Role of Compromise in IntimacyIn most marriages, one spouse will have a higher sex drive than the other. That's normal. 1 Corinthians 7:4 reminds us that in marriage, each spouse gives authority over their body to the other, meaning intimacy is a shared gift, not a personal possession. The healthiest...

Good design is losing.Not by better design — but by faster, cheaper, half-assed garbage.And the worst part? Clients are eating it up.Welcome to the new reality where timelines matter more than talent, and “good enough” is winning over great. Designers are watching their best work get ignored while AI bots, Canva templates, and $5 Fiverr hacks get the green light.And yeah, we might have been the ones to let this happen.This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we rip into the real reason good design is losing to fast design and what graphic designers need to do to stay relevant in a world that values speed over skill.In this episode we discuss:- Why clients think fast = progress (and how to flip that on them)- How designers became their own worst enemy- A better way to deliver work without compromising quality- The process tweak that keeps clients off Canva and on your sideIf you're sick of watching garbage design win just because it's quick, this episode gives you the tools to fight back and win the long game.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Covid changed a lot of things including in person worship. There is a place for online worship but in this conversation we talk about the theological and spiritual good of gathering in person rather than just online.  Jonathan Griffiths is a Lead Pastor in Ottawa, Canada and also a writer.  He wrote the book "Gathered for Good: God's Good Design for the Local Church". A great conversation on the importance of the local church.

Why does doing good service design often feel like an uphill battle...Okay, I'm on a mission this year to find the best recipe for BBQ Chicken Wings (recommendations are welcome, by the way).Over the weekend, I was experimenting with a new one (I'd give it an 8.5/10), and then it struck me.I can have the most delicious recipe, but if my guests turn out to be vegetarian, we spontaneously decide to go out for dinner, or the kids are just tired of eating chicken again, it won't matter. No one will appreciate my tasty chicken wings, no matter how hard I try.And obviously, the problem isn't with the recipe itself.Well, you might be surprised how often this exact scenario plays out in our work in service design.We pour our hearts and souls into crafting solutions that should create a positive impact on users and our organizations. Yet, somehow, a lot (maybe most?) of these well-designed solutions never actually see the light of day.Is it because they are bad solutions? Assuming you know what you're doing, most likely not.So, there must be something else going on. Are there other critical success factors (like knowing your guests are vegetarian) that we tend to overlook when we're so focused on perfecting the "recipe"?It turns out there are (which probably isn't a huge surprise to many of us).So what are these other success factors? And most importantly, how do we understand them and maybe even turn them in our favour?That's what we discuss in this episode with our returning guest, Brad Alphonso.Brad has led numerous service design initiatives from the initial idea all the way through to implementation inside a large, regulated, and pretty complex organization. He's open about the fact that not all of these initiatives had the impact he hoped for, but over the years, his success rate has gone up significantly.In this episode, we look back and reflect: Was it luck? Was there a magic breakthrough, or did the 'game' itself change somehow for him?So if you want to move the needle with your work, instead of it feeling like a constant struggle, this episode offers important clues – around understanding your organisation's real momentum and how decisions actually get made – that could help you navigate much more effectively.This conversation made me reflect on the fact that I see so many talented service design "players" out there. And I do wonder how many of us are, at times, playing the wrong game... let's try not to be that person.Keep making a positive impact!Take care,~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this fascinating episode, Paul and Todd resume their discussion of natural evil with special guest Dr. Rahel Wells. If the world we live in is the same way God made it in the beginning, what does this tell us about God's care for the animals? On the other hand, if God really does care for the animals, how might that care shape our view of creation? Dr. Wells walks us through scripture's teaching about animals and explains what we should do about it.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we dove deeper into our “Be the Church” theme by discussing using our God-given gifts in the church. As followers of Christ, we should strive to be more than just a face at church because membership is more than attending a class; it’s spiritually engaging with our church family. Would the church body notice your absence if you missed a few Sundays? We also had special guest Jonathan Griffiths join the conversation. Jonathan is the lead pastor of the Metropolitan Bible Chuch in Ottawa, Canada. He also leads Encounter the Truth, a broadcasting ministry that produces religious programming on radio and podcasts across the United States and Canada.
