// What happens if you like someone at work? Did the metoo movement make that more complicated or even impossible?
// We discuss how to go about it in a respectful way and how to protect yourself if you’re ready to make your move...
// Also, have parts of the metoo movement, as necessary and about time for it to happen, made it more difficult for women to advance in the workplace….sounds weird, right?
// We discuss the unforeseen adverse effects of the #metoo movement for women in the workplace, based on Bobbi’s research.
Bobbi is the author of the Sexual Intelligence in Business, co-chair of the academic conference Love and Sex with Robots and owner of Imagine Ideation. Together we cover the post-metoo paradigm: the good, the bad and the ugly based on Bobbi’s research.

While TO4TS is on a break, check out this revisit of a past favourite episode (#086 When Self-Help Goes Horribly Wrong and How To Prevent It). I will return early 2023 with Season 4!!!
What led to the death of 3 individuals seeking to better their life and looking for enlightenment at a James Arthur Ray 5-day event?
Ray was made famous by the movie The Secret and being featured several times on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Together with Kirby Brown’s mother Ginny, a licensed clinical social worker and her sister Jean, we discuss the perfect storm that led to that tragedy, their mission to stop it from ever happening to anyone else and how self-help can be done safely.
We cover:
+ How strong minded people can fall victim to the self-help industry.
+ Tools and dirty tactics used by the self-help industry.
+ What may have contributed to James Ray’s situation.
+ How to not collapse after grief.
+ The legal system is not yet equipped to advocate for the families of [Self-help gone wrong] victims.
+ How to find self-help organisations that have pledged to do no harm and signed [The Promise].
+ What has changed for them in how they perceive life after Kirby’s passing.
