    Fatherhood, a Memoir, sold 200 Copies, Then a Court Order? Sean Coffin Tells His Story | Ep. 20

    What happens when writing your own story becomes another battle? Sean Coffin says his memoir, Resenting Joy, sold 200 copies in less than two weeks before a temporary court order stopped him from publishing it. In this episode of The Stand with Meg Show, Sean and his fiancée, Brittany O’Brien, join me for the story behind that moment. Sean, a New York City teacher, coach, and father, recounts the intervention where he says he was accused of dealing drugs, the police response he describes, and the strain of navigating separation and family court. He also recalls putting the manuscript of Resenting Joy in front of Joy Mangano, his former mother-in-law, and explains the publication dispute as he experienced it. Brittany brings her perspective on their relationship and the life they were building through court dates, uncertainty, and the work of writing the book. Her love and support are part of this conversation, along with Sean’s determination to remain present as a father. We talk about: • The allegations and police encounter Sean recounts • The practical and emotional pressures he describes during separation • How Sean and Brittany met • Writing Resenting Joy and the manuscript meeting • His account of the book’s early sales and temporary publication restraint • Support, rebuilding, and what they want listeners to take away ABOUT THE GUESTS Sean Coffin is the author of Resenting Joy. His website describes him as a New York City teacher, coach, and father of two. Brittany O’Brien is Sean’s fiancée and joins the conversation to share her own perspective and experiences.

    What About the Kids? Hope, Stories, and Parenting with Julie Lavender Le Doux | EP. 19

    When the world feels heavy, what story is your child telling themselves? On The Stand With Meg Show, I sit down with author, musician, and artist Julie Lavender Le Doux for a conversation about children, books, and the stories we carry about ourselves. Julie introduces The Amazings Series, where a family that sees color lives in a town that sees only gray. We discuss the questions she wants her stories to raise about conformity, independent thinking, and the messages children hear from the world around them. Julie also explains how contemporary social and political debates inform the symbolism in her fiction. Then we bring the conversation home. What can reading together give a family? How can grandparents use a book to connect? What happens when our good intentions put too much pressure on a child? One of the most personal moments comes when Julie shares what she regrets about parenting her oldest son. She talks about learning to apologize, giving him room to be honest, and making clear that he was not responsible for her emotional well-being. We also discuss Wounds to Wonder and Julie's Christian perspective on emotional healing. Her account is shared as personal experience and belief, not as a clinical finding or a promise of treatment results. IN THIS CONVERSATION • Why Julie began writing about nonconformity • The Amazings Series and the fictional world of Wonder • The social issues and public debates behind the stories • Reading aloud, audiobooks, and conversations between generations • Family stress and the stories children tell themselves • Faith, hope, and Wounds to Wonder • Parenting regrets, apologies, and giving children space • Where to learn more about Julie's books ABOUT THE GUEST Julie Lavender Le Doux is an author, musician, and artist. In this episode, she also draws on her experiences as a homeschooling mother and grandmother.

    No One Is Coming to Save You. How to Write the Affidavit That Gets a Case Opened. | Ep 18

    ⚖️ Every fraud indictment Shawn has put on this table started the same way. A victim walked into a law enforcement office and put what happened in writing. Nobody came to save them. They wrote it down. Criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee walks real sworn affidavits, the documents that turn a complaint into a case: a Wichita Police detective's probable-cause affidavit in a Sedgwick County, Kansas false-information case (charged, not convicted, trial set for November 2026), a six-page FBI wire-fraud affidavit, an IRS Criminal Investigation affidavit for alleged wire-fraud conspiracy and money laundering, and Percoco v. United States, the Supreme Court's honest-services fraud case. Then the answer to "that's a civil matter": Shawn's four-legs-of-the-table theory, the same affidavit filed with police, sheriff, FBI, IRS, licensing board, prosecutor, and press. Plus the Supreme Court of Missouri's new rules, effective January 1, 2027, that end regional buddy-network discipline committees, and Shawn's read on the Clancy family's civil complaint against Lindsay Clancy's telehealth providers. Civil allegations and his opinion, not charges. 📂 Every document in this episode is a free download. Go to StandwithMeg.com, tap The Shawn Lee Report, then Documents. 🧠 Shawn's framework is his theory. Everyone named in these records is presumed innocent. General legal education, not legal advice.

    They Called Fake Court Orders a Conspiracy Theory. The DOJ Just Put One in an Indictment. | Ep 17

    ⚖️ Families have been saying "fake orders" for years and getting called crazy. This month a United States Attorney's office put those words in a federal indictment. Criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee walks the actual indictment of a Madison County, Illinois guardian ad litem charged with bank fraud and mail fraud: over $400,000 allegedly withdrawn from minors' accounts, and a fake court order allegedly created and mailed to a minor to conceal it. Charged, not convicted. Then the timeline, with fraud counts continuing after a suspended law license and a cocaine arrest, while he was still a GAL. Plus Shawn's theory he calls Operation Judge Hunter, how cooperation deals climb, the DOJ division bragging that it's going after lawyers, the two victims who started the Houston attorney case themselves, and Shawn's read on tele-GALs billing $250 an hour of remote-work fraud. If this was your GAL, take copies of your invoices to the agencies that charged him. 🧠 Shawn's framework is his theory. General legal education, not legal advice.

    👩‍⚕️ She spent her days saving other families' children. Family court still took hers. I sit down with Dr. Adwoafuaa Nwokocha, Houston family medicine physician, first generation Ghanaian American, mother of five, and author of Custody MD: Fighting for the Woo. In her words: homeless with a newborn and a Northwestern degree, medical school as a single mom, then a custody battle where she describes a full year without her children, three nannies whose courtroom stories contradicted each other, and Physician of the Year won in the middle of the worst season of her life. We talk faith, rebuilding, the guilt of moving on, and what she tells every parent still in the fight: the system is banking on your shame keeping you silent. 📚 Get Custody MD: Fighting for the Woo at CustodyMD.com, in my shop at StandwithMeg.com, and on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. 📲 Follow Dr. Nwokocha: TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, all @CustodyMD.

    What If the Medication Changes Who You Are? Black Box Warnings and Forged Drug Tests. | Ep 15

    Criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee lays five prescriptions on the table, a sedative hypnotic, an opioid, a benzo, an amphetamine, and an antidepressant, and reads the FDA's black box warnings out loud: warnings that apply even when a drug is prescribed, supervised, and taken exactly as directed. He walks through the FDA's warnings on substance-induced disorders, his theory of pseudo-addiction and how patients end up on medication cocktails, the Lindsay Clancy case, and the fraud half: negative drug test certificates for sale online, and why he argues a bought result filed in a virtual custody hearing could be evidence tampering and conspiracy to commit telehealth fraud. Plus the full law enforcement ladder for escalating a stalled fraud complaint, and Connecticut's child welfare telework audit.

    A Family Court Judge Is Now a Convicted Felon. How Records Requests Took Her Down. | Ep 14

    Criminal attorney Shawn Lee walks Meg through the conviction of Ohio family court judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze, who pleaded guilty to felony tampering with records and got 60 days in jail, and the legal concept underneath it: willful ignorance and deliberate indifference. Plus a live walkie-talkie experiment that shows how court-ordered co-parenting apps turn a five minute miscommunication into a $120 bill, the real conspiracy statutes, and the DOJ's Ferguson report on courts that ran on revenue.

    It's a Felony Everywhere Except Family Court | Who Actually Investigates False Court Documents? | Ep 13

    Handing a lawyer a false document that gets filed in court is a felony charge in criminal court. So why do families say the same conduct gets called "a civil issue" in family court? In Episode 5 of The Shawn Lee Report, criminal trial attorney Shawn Lee walks through a real Kansas felony charge for exactly that conduct and explains why he argues the criminal code does not stop applying just because the filing happened in a family case. His framework, his analysis, taught at a kitchen-table level. In this episode: • A real Kansas felony charge: a false document, handed to a lawyer, filed in court • Why Shawn argues "that's a civil issue" is the wrong answer to a criminal act • The Martha Mitchell Effect: the 50-year-old playbook of calling a truthful witness crazy, and the 2022 Netflix documentary that named it • Complaint versus indictment in plain English, walked through on a real federal indictment of a sitting judge • The newspaper investigation that brought down a sitting Missouri attorney general when no prosecutor would touch him, and why the media is a front in the fight against corruption Episode 6 premieres LIVE Sunday, August 23 at 4 PM CT with a public Q&A with Meg and Shawn right after the episode, inside the same broadcast.
