Weighing the Cost: A Listener's Story of Courage | Ep221 Jul25 min

How far would you go to do the right thing at work? Further than you think, or not as far as you'd hope?

In this episode, we share a listener's story that stopped us in our tracks. Their employer rolled out a mandatory wellness program that crossed a serious line, and this employee had to make a choice: go along with it, or risk their job to say no.

This story is a candid look at what courage can really cost when your values (and sometimes even your health) are challenged. Along the way, we break down what the company got wrong, why good intentions aren't enough, and how a leader's response in moments like these can define their reputation.

P.S. This episode mentions weight loss, body shaming, and eating disorders. Listener discretion is advised.
