Lena: Hey everyone, welcome back to another personalized episode from BeFreed! We're absolutely thrilled to dive into something that hits close to home for so many of us today.
Miles: Absolutely, Lena. And wow, do we have a loaded topic here. We're talking about working with a micromanaging boss-specifically in a family business context-and how to modernize workplace practices when you're dealing with psychology and criminology work. This is like the perfect storm of workplace challenges.
Lena: Right? It's fascinating because you've got all these layers-family dynamics, professional boundaries, and then you're working in fields that literally study human behavior. The irony is almost too much to handle.
