S5: Brink of burnout, being alone & back in Canada!!

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Welcome to another episode in season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! And episode on a topic that's SUPER important to me: Empathy. And this was brought about by some family friction this recent Christmas (because, duh!). I chat about said family friction, how it affected me, and what I realised about myself and my defaults as a result of other people's situations and emotions. And tbh, I wasn't totally happy about it. Moving forward, I'm considering how to adapt my empathy. You'll find out why... Themes in the episode: -Empathy in relationships of all kinds -The different types of empathy (there are 3!) -Why too much empathy isn't a good thing -Toggling empathy for the right relationships and moments -Extending empathy to oneself -Compassion vs. Empathy -Childhood trauma, coping strategies, and why I am how I am -People pleasing -Emotional management _____________________ If you prefer a read, check out my resurrected blog: ⁠⁠https://themobilementor.blogspot.com/⁠⁠ (Lol, let's appreciate the 90s-core website energy!).

Welcome to season 7 of The Mobile Mentor pod!! I thought I'd mark 2025 with a brand-new season. Thank god 2024 is over... It was a tumultuous and very fast-moving year. I am happy to move on to more pleasant, stable, and peaceful pastures. This episode, I share how I start every new year in a softer, self-compassionate, and less strict way (I am not a fan of the old 'new year's resolutions' lark and its connotations – you'll find out why). I 'theme' every year! We've all gotta find what works for us, right? Have a listen and see what comes up for you with this approach. Themes in this Ep: -Words to live by (as opposed to vision boards) -Living in your heart and body vs. living in your head -Following your intuition -Staying flexible as opposed to fixing goals -Use personal reflections to inform what's ahead -When to do this exercise -Knowing and living by your values __________________ If you prefer a cheeky read, check out my resurrected blog: ⁠⁠https://themobilementor.blogspot.com/⁠⁠ (lol, let's appreciate the 90s-core website energy!).

I AM BACK after 4 months out! I missed being here, but tbh I just wasn't ready. 2024 may have knocked me a lot harder than ’23 (!!?)–because boy was it full of change and uncertainty–so much so, I took time off podcasting to refocus on getting well and clear. So here's my life update. The theme is: Rejection + Reflection = Redirection. The end of the year is usually the time for taking stock of impactful events, so here are mine, my self-observations along the way, and what I’m taking into 2025. Themes in this episode: -Being laid off work -When it rains it pours (a series of unfortunate events) -Having an unexpected healing period and starting again in my early thirties -Living in alignment with my values -Life choices... What did this period teach me? -Knowing yourself, your limits and capacity – and when to ask for help! -Doing what feels authentic, not doing what you “should” do -Reframing periods of ‘not achieving’ to something that's kinder to yourself -Living from a place fear vs. from a place of love -Taking a new work direction and considering a career change -Change hits harder the older I get… -Self-compassion Expect a Part 2 – the 6 key learnings and tools that got me through.

Hi Hi! Here's your July episode. This is a VERY personal one... If you feel a bit lost, are going through change in yourself or are seeking some advice on how to feel better about who you are, this episode is for you. I've had a decent stint diving into 'Self' lately, relearning who I am now. The end of 2023/first half of 2024 saw me going through a lot of change and uncertainty; in life, moving, relationships, work and visiting back home. I felt overwhelmed and pessimistic. So, after a fair but of personal work, here are my 3 'AHA!" moments that have brought me back to VIBRANCY. In this episode: -What being alone has taught me -The benefits of being alone -Meeting myself again at 33 -Resurfacing from a low period into optimism -I started therapy AND coaching...and boy, is it connecting the dots! -My holistic view on health and self-care -Acknowledging my boundaries -A new mantra I now live by (great for any recovering people-pleasers!) -Shifting my philosophy from thinking ahead (worrying) to being present (feeling) _______________ Thanks for listening, everyone!

Intuition. It is SO important. And the older I get, the more I realise this. In the Western world, we aren't taught how to connect with it aka listen to ourselves. So, when I was younger I kinda went around 'thinking' a lot; doing what 'I should' do and what is 'valuable' (in society's terms) . I guess I was ruled by the dominant culture and the 'norm' like many of us. BUT, here's what I have been doing for the last decade to LISTEN TO MY INTUITION, connect to myself, and decide what I want for my life! Happy listening. In This Episode: What is intuition? How to feel it How I got better at listening to it, by... Spending time alone Walking Journaling Talking out loud to myself Acknowledging the importance of sleep Gathering 'data'/insights to help my process Seeing how I respond to types of news (listen to find out what!) Deciphering who NOT to listen to... I hope you feel like you can align with yourself a lot more after this episode. ___________________ SIDE NOTE: Want to improve your brand storytelling or learn how to communicate so that people LISTEN?

How is it Q4 of 2023, already? Hi again, pals! This episode is an audio diary with new insights on Self and being human in low, uncertain, ever-changing times, plus some actionable bits on how I've been managing it. Finally found some energy to vocalise what's been going on–OPEN and VULNERABLE as always. Ps. The WIP title for this was: 'Am I Pessimist? Feeling the Ups and Downs More Than the Average Joe?' so that's an indication of things to come... In this episode: - Battling society's productivity and achievement expectations - Feeling in limbo amidst 2023's weirdness - Low mood symptoms and experiences - How unemployment and an uncertain job market impacts self-worth - Expectation vs. Reality - Recognising the problematic messages we tell ourselves - Coping strategies - LIFE NEWS!! _______________ Something else I've managed to work on is my new eBook, 6 Steps to Killer Copy; Boost Your Brand or Business. Created for brand builders, marketers, those generating AI content who should know what EFFECTIVE copy looks like, writing lovers, and more!
