  IHSTS - Ep. 15 - Ship or Sh*t? Business Partnerships, Betrayal & Burnout

  Aug 11, 20261h 4m

  Quick programming note before we dive in: our producer Brian is clearing his throat a little more than usual this episode — he was just getting over a cold, not staging a coup. Please excuse the frog. This week our usual producer steps out from behind the camera and onto the couch. Brian Prairie (Raven Spring Media) sits down with Megan to tell the story he's only ever alluded to before: the toxic 50/50 business partnership that ended in locked bank accounts, middle-of-the-night accusations, lawyers, and an actual FBI visit. From there, Megan and Brian dig into the murky difference between a trauma bond and a shared value, why "begin with the end in mind" is advice everyone gets and nobody follows, and why money isn't the problem — misaligned values about money are. Guest producer Jake LaMore of the "This One Time in Kankakee" podcast sits in for check-in, and yes, we do eventually explain what "poop on the Prada" means. Key Timestamps [00:00] Intro & Meet Guest Producer Jake LaMore [04:51] Check-In Question: What Would Your Autobiography Be Titled? [10:10] Brian Introduces Himself: Raven Spring Media & Working With Megan [14:47] The Toxic Business Partnership: Fraud, the FBI, and Burnout [21:28] Trauma Bond, Shared Goal, or Shared Value? How to Tell the Difference [32:05] The Business Divorce: Lawyers, Lockouts & Betrayal [39:25] When Money Becomes the Value (And Why That's Not the Problem) [47:32] Why Do We Expect Jobs — and Relationships — to Always Feel Good? [49:16] The "Poop on the Prada" Test: Wash It or Toss It? [55:01] Hernan's Dog Poop Metaphor for Toxic Relationships [56:40] Ship vs. Sh*t: One Letter Makes All the Difference [1:00:27] Final Takeaway: Begin With the End in Mind Standout Quotes "Toxic leaders create an entire culture that supports toxic leadership." — Megan "If there was a mistake to be made, I made it — and then I learned not to do it." — Brian "Is the blowout bad enough that you throw it away, or do you wash it? That's the sh*t metaphor for every relationship in your life." — Megan "A ship can definitely turn into sh*t. The only difference is one letter." — Megan Therapist's Toolkit 3 Partnership Questions: 1. Do I actually know the difference between a goal I share with this person and a value I share with them? 2. Have we talked about "the end" before we began — what happens if this doesn't work out? 3. Is this a fixable blowout, or is it time to throw the onesie away?

  IHSTS - Ep. 14 - He Ordained Himself In His Bathtub

  Jul 28, 20261h 23m

  Content note: religious trauma and coercive control, with a brief, non-graphic mention of a real criminal case involving child sexual abuse material. Jay from the Pinkpill Rx podcast joins Megan solo to finally tell the full story: walking into a "church" at 18 and not walking out for almost a decade. They break down how it happened — isolation from family and friends, a schedule built to consume every free hour, tithing and labor that drained him dry, and a leader who literally ordained himself an elder in his own bathtub. Plus: what actually separates religion from a cult, what happened when the group collapsed, Adlerian psychology, who really holds power, Megan's own deconstruction story, and why rage letters and screaming into a lake are underrated coping tools. KEY TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Welcome Back, Jay 2:25 The Unread Email Game 9:07 The Doom Basket Hack 10:53 Age 18: Walking Into a High-Control Church 14:59 Chasing Something That Felt Real 17:09 First Red Flags: Dress Codes and Targeted Sermons 19:29 Cut Off From Family and Friends 21:14 A Schedule Built to Own You 22:31 Tithing, Labor, and Financial Abuse 23:21 Where Religion Ends and a Cult Begins 33:12 What His Parents Got Wrong 37:33 How the Group Fell Apart 40:10 The Arrest 44:41 Self-Ordained in His Bathtub 48:44 Purpose, Power, and Adlerian Psychology 1:03:20 Who Actually Has the Power 1:11:03 Rage Letters and Screaming It Out 1:19:38 The Big Takeaway: Someone to Leave To STANDOUT QUOTES "The only difference between organized religion and a cult is the ability to ask questions." "He was never ordained an elder anywhere — he ordained himself in his bathtub at home." "Love someone so fiercely when they're leaning into toxic stuff that they always have someone to leave to." THERAPIST'S TOOLKIT 1. When I ask hard questions in my relationships, groups, or workplace, am I met with real answers — or with guilt, silence, or punishment? 2. Do the people closest to me have their own longstanding relationships outside of me, or have those slowly disappeared? 3. If someone I love needs to leave a person, group, or situation, have I stayed close enough that they have somewhere to go?

  IHSTS - Ep. 12 - Let Me Be Fucking Angry

  Jun 30, 202638 min

  Megan and producer Brian ditch the guest couch and get back to the OG duo for a no-holds-barred conversation about rage. Not irritation, not mild annoyance—rage, the top-of-the-line, burns-hot end of the anger spectrum. Why are we so afraid of it? And who gets permission to be angry, versus who gets called "bossy," "intimidating," or worse for the exact same energy? Megan pushes back on the therapy gospel that anger always "covers" something deeper, makes the case that anger can sit right alongside hurt and sadness as its own valid feeling, and breaks down the idea that a feeling without a story attached only lasts about 90 seconds. Plus: gray rocking, rage rooms, rage walks, and why everyone needs a hype playlist. Key Timestamps [00:00] Back to the OG Duo: Today's Topic Is Rage [01:11] Check-In: What's Your Rage (or Hype) Song? [07:53] Rage vs. Anger—It's a Spectrum [10:46] The Myth That Anger Always Covers Something [12:32] "Bossy," "Intimidating" & the Gendered Weight of Anger [15:31] Underneath vs. Alongside: What If Anger Is the Root? [18:35] Rage as Trapped Energy & Primal Release [21:30] Anger Management & "Whose Problem Is My Anger?" [23:33] The How We Feel App & Naming Emotions [25:05] Weaponizing Feelings & Power Structures [28:11] The 90-Second Rule & Gray Rocking [33:35] Tools: Journaling, Rage Walks & Releasing Safely Standout Quotes "A feeling without a story lasts 90 seconds." "What if anger is the root? What if, next to anger, I'm also sad and hurt at the same time—and they're equal, and there's not one underneath?" "Do they have issues with anger, or is them being angry causing you issues?" Therapist's Toolkit 3 Reflection Questions: 1. When I feel anger or rage, what story am I attaching to it—and what changes if I let the feeling move through in 90 seconds instead of feeding the narrative? 2. Do I treat my anger as a mask for something "deeper," or can I let it stand alongside hurt, sadness, or frustration as valid on its own? 3. Where can I release this energy safely and non-traumatically—a rage walk, a playlist, journaling, a scream—instead of turning it inward or onto someone else?

  <p>Ten episodes in, and we're celebrating with one of Megan's oldest friends — her former intern turned 17-year ride-or-die.

  IHSTS - Ep. 09 - Stop Calling It Independent — Let's Talk Community

  May 19, 20261h 9mS0

  <p>We throw the word "community" around a lot. But do we actually know how to build it — or what's getting in our way? In this first-ever two-guest episode, Megan sits down with two powerhouse community builders, Barbi Watson and Becca Parks, for a real conversation about what community means, why so many of us are quietly lonely, and what it actually takes to find your people.</p><p><br></p><p>They dig into the difference between showing up online versus showing up in real life, why introverts and extroverts need community differently (but equally), how emotional intelligence is th...
