Does policy feel stuffy and legalistic to you? This episode is for you. 

Laura Evers, Founder of Social Safety Solutions, and Whitney Hooper, founder of Emboldened Entrepreneur and the host of the podcast, talk about why we need policies and how they support every healthy organization. 

In every thriving organization, there’s a common thread holding people, systems, and success together: safety. Not just physical safety, but psychological, procedural, and relational safety—the kind that allows people to perform, innovate, 

We're talking about how:
1. Why policy is a living, breathing guide to help us walk with integrity. 
2. How policies and procedures give us the safety to operate well. 
3. How to live with audacious courage, even when it feels overwhelming.
