Lived experience, researched into theory.

You did everything right and still got pushed out. You were told it was you. It wasn’t.

Lived Theory Co. is management research and public scholarship on how toxic power dynamics work inside the systems we live in. Naming the pattern underneath it, and who pays when it goes unchecked. Lived experience. Real research. No theory for theory’s sake.

I spent years in HR watching complaints come in and watching what happened to them. Then it happened to me. I did everything right and still got pushed out. Now I research toxic power dynamics and organizational displacement as a PhD candidate in Management, so the women living it have the language, the research, and a way forward. Lived experience. Real research. That’s the work.
