    Reclaiming Yourself When Everyone Needs You: Kerry Docherty on Guilt, Honest Conversations, and Choosing Yourself
    When was the last time you were called selfish, or worried you might be, just for putting yourself on your own list? For those of us in the middle, putting our needs last can feel like the only way to keep everything running, and the guilt of choosing ourselves can be heavy. In this episode, Candace is joined by Kerry Docherty, co-founder of beloved sustainable lifestyle brand Faherty, poet, social activist, children's book author, and author of the memoir Selfish: Unlearning, Reclaiming, and Telling the Truth. Kerry explains why she chose a title that's so activating for women, and describes the moment in therapy when a simple question showed her she wasn't the victim: she had agency. She talks about finding her voice through a writing collective and about telling the truth in print about her marriage, her family business, and herself, including the fallout with loved ones and her husband Alex's response in the final chapter. She also shares the small daily choices that help her reclaim herself, the guilt of leaving home to write, and the honest conversations she and Alex have with their kids. As Kerry puts it, being "selfish" can be "the biggest act of service that we can give other people."

    Balancing Full-Time Employment with Side Ventures
    Attorneys Sarah Sawyer and Russell Berger of Offit Kurman discuss how employers should approach employee moonlighting, which has become more common. They emphasize starting with state-specific laws that may limit an employer’s ability to restrict outside work, then evaluating whether a side job creates a real conflict with the employer’s business. They also note practical concerns about performance and whether an employee’s outside work affects focus and commitment. The episode highlights the importance of clear, lawful conflict-of-interest policies, regular reminders to employees, and an avenue for employees to disclose perceived conflicts proactively.
