You won't want to miss this week's bonus conversation! Noa Kadman spent years investing time & money in the 'Org' brand, but eventually stopped teaching to go all-in on a new practice; one created by a former 'Org' training duo who broke away to do their own thing. The story she shares here is a cautionary tale for students and facilitators alike. If we don't take time to do the real-deal work of recovery, history is likely to repeat itself....
I'm back with another episode of Subject To Change.

A couple of days ago, I was talking with some friends/patrons of the pod about how much I love doing this work. AND ALSO about how my anxiety levels ebb and flow - in part due to the real and imagined pressures to always-be-creating in a digital world."What will I drop on Patreon this week?"... I wondered aloud.And then, instead of helping me short out my to-do list, they did what great friends do. They loved me enough to hold the proverbial...
"We're all supposed to love ourselves. But where is that supposed to come from when our entire lives we've been told that our bodies are wrong?" - Dr. Melissa Durfey This week, I'm delighted to be circling back to the topic of diet 'cult'ure with long-time friend and special guest, Dr. Melissa Durfey. Melissa & I met back in 2017 - in a business networking group that might've also been a little bit culty. 🤷♀️ I ask you, where is it...
It's been one helluva week. Despite how I've been feeling (the tenderhearted impulse to cut-and-run) yesterday I recorded another unscripted solo episode.

And I speak to the responsibility that we all share when it comes to safeguarding this work & our shared spaces of cult recovery. 0:00 - Update & important message to all patrons of the pod. 7:45 - Why it's so...
Welcome to a conversation that we haven't been ready to have until now; but on a topic that we've been VERY actively navigating behind the scenes since the launch of the 'cult'ure series. PUSHBACK. Today we're sharing our honest take on what happens when folks choose to step away from 'the Org' and then loyalists harass them through phone calls, private DMs, and/or public posts throwing shade. We've been taking 'the high road' around it all -...

Here it is!... the follow-up to Episode 76 with Susan McCulley. If you enjoyed Part 1, you definitely won't want to skip the second half of this conversation.

I hadn't planned to drop another one of these so soon, but something came up that I really wanted to deconstruct in real time (yesterday afternoon), so here goes... January 21, 2024 - Misogyny Much? Emotional Labor & 'What's It Worth?' In this impromptu share, I share some feedback that I received on a social media reel featuring content from the first episode in this series.
