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.

Millennial parents, let’s talk. Remember when we thought we’d have a village helping us raise our kids? Turns out, that village is looking real different (or nonexistent). Why does it feel like past generations had more support? Is it because we moved away, set more boundaries, or are we just expecting too much? And let’s be real—at what point do you stop hoping and just buy your village instead? In this episode, we’re discussing the realities of raising kids without the village we thought we’d have.

Millennials: the most criticized, misunderstood, and, dare we say, resilient generation. In this episode, we unpack why Millennials are seen as lazy, entitled, and overly sensitive—but is that the full story? From navigating crushing student debt to juggling multiple jobs while breaking generational cycles, Millennials are doing more than just surviving—they’re redefining what it means to live. Is the world really tougher for Millennials, or are we finally brave enough to challenge the status quo? And what’s the legacy we’re leaving for the next generation? It’s time to set the record straight.

Feminism vs. Reality: What Went Wrong? 23:44

Is modern feminism missing the point? In this episode, we’re diving into feminism—past and present. Is the term still about empowering women and advocating for equality, or has it shifted into something more divisive? From understanding the original goals of feminism to grappling with its modern interpretation, we explore how the term has evolved—and whether it’s now doing more harm than good. Are we losing the balance between celebrating women’s independence and respecting traditional roles? And why does modern feminism often feel like it pits women against men—or even against each other?

In this episode, we dive deep into the controversial term "toxic masculinity" and unpack what it really means. Are we redefining masculinity in ways that suppress natural traits of men like strength and competitiveness? We reflect on societal shifts, the blurred lines between aggression and confidence, and why men today might feel hesitant to embrace their manhood. Is it okay for men to be unapologetically themselves? Join us as we challenge stereotypes, question societal norms, and explore whether masculinity, as we’ve known it, still has a place in today’s world.

Why Boys Don't Cry: The Real Impact of Tough Love 36:45

36:45

Are we harder on boys than girls, even as toddlers? Is it necessary for boys to face tough love from an early age, or are we unintentionally creating emotional scars under the guise of strength? In this episode, we tackle the fine line between discipline and emotional neglect. From the differing ways parents handle crying boys versus girls to the long-term impact of societal expectations, we ask: Are we preparing boys for the real world—or holding them back from emotional growth? Is tough love the only way to raise strong men? Tune in and challenge how you may view parenting, gender norms, and the lessons this generation is teaching our children—intentionally or not.
