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.

When I look back at the days when women had to fight for something as basic as a credit card, it's astounding to see how far we've come—and yet how far we still have to go. Our latest episode is a heartfelt journey through the ever-evolving landscape of women's rights and gender roles, where we uncover the delicate balance between striving for equality and cherishing our sameness. Weaving personal stories with historical milestones, I, Mesdeline, alongside the remarkable Monica Harwell, invite you to listen as we celebrate the triumphs of feminine strength in male-dominated fields and dissect the complex tapestry of societal expectations that women navigate daily. The narrative is enriched by anecdotes that challenge the notion of emotional intelligence being a hindrance, illustrating instead its profound impact on leadership and problem-solving.
We then take a soulful turn to pay homage to the often-overlooked power of the divine feminine. Embracing qualities like empathy, intuition, and gentle persuasion, we discuss how wielding these attributes can steer us toward a more just and balanced world. The conversation is an ode to the kindness and gentility that can, and do, triumph over aggression, as we share stories that echo this ethos. I encourage my listeners to harness their inherent divine power for the collective betterment and remind each one of the immense potential that lies within. So join us as we navigate this intimate reflection on femininity's role in shaping a brighter future, and consider how you, too, can contribute to this transformative dialogue.
