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.

The holiday season often brings unique challenges for divorced women. When family gatherings change, traditions feel different, and the absence of familiar routines leaves us disoriented, it’s normal to experience sadness and longing for what used to be. In this episode, I dive deep into the ways you can not only survive but actually enjoy the holidays post-divorce by creating meaningful moments and focusing on what truly matters.

Tune in as we discuss:

Letting go of “Hallmark” expectations and embracing imperfect, real-life celebrations
Facing the reality of different holiday routines without letting it diminish your joy
Separating your own experience from your children’s, and making sure they feel loved without carrying your burdens
Ideas for building new traditions, coordinating peacefully with your ex, and planning joyful gatherings, even if they’re on a different day
Making decisions that align with your values rather than allowing holiday emotions to lead to regretful choices

The holidays may look different now, but different doesn’t have to mean worse. Join me as I explain how to find peace and joy in this season, setting the tone for a holiday experience that leaves you and your children with beautiful new memories.
