Communities repeatedly ask people to perform stamina they don’t have. The Sabbath Switch is a tiny institutional habit that gives everyone one protected, no‑questions‑asked pause (monthly or per cycle) that leaders honor without curiosity. In this 10‑minute episode Dr. Disruptor opens with a doorway image of a beloved volunteer who left after hiding repeated crashes, then outlines an actionable policy: how to offer the Switch (who’s eligible, how to claim it discreetly, and what hosts promise), sample public and private language for announcements and calendars, a steward workflow that preserves confidentiality, and a short pilot plan to try the policy for one month. Listeners get paste‑ready lines to add to invites, a brief stewardship checklist so promises turn into practice, and a 60‑second rehearsal to draft the exact sentence they’ll say or post this week.
