Ep.6 Intrusive Stepmom/Manager:Boundaries Gone Wrong

Ocean unpacks a listener’s nightmare: a 24-year-old employee whose stepmother, also her manager, repeatedly calls her boyfriend about sick days and attendance. The episode examines privacy and nepotism concerns, explains why HIPAA likely doesn’t apply, and offers practical HR-informed advice: document everything, set clear boundaries, and consider formal complaints or moving jobs if the situation won’t change. The show blends legal insight, workplace strategy, and spiritual metaphors to help listeners reclaim power and handle toxic supervisory behavior.
