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.

1283: Minimalism & Metabolism: Why Less Stuff = More Energy 19:43

5天之前19:43

19:43

Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between decluttering your space and achieving weight loss success. Our environment shapes our mindset, habits, and overall well-being. By organizing our physical surroundings, we create space for better decisions, healthier choices, and a calmer mind. Tune in to discover how a clutter-free home can support your weight loss journey. Listener Question: “I am working on decluttering my home, changing my relationship to home and possessions. Any advice or guidance in that area would be great!” Key Topics Covered: How your external environment impacts your internal state. The psychological effects of clutter: stress, overwhelm, and decision fatigue. The identity shift: Becoming a person who takes care of their space and themselves. The financial aspect: Clutter represents money you once had—rethinking purchases. Practical strategies to start decluttering and regain control. Practical Approaches to Decluttering: Stop Spending on Non-Essentials Implement a budget and a 24-hour hold rule before making purchases. Reflect on past purchases: Did they bring lasting joy or just add to clutter? Consider: Would I rather have this item or the money in savings? Ditch and Donate Like It’s Your Job Declutter small spaces daily (drawer, shelf, cabinet) to avoid overwhelm. Use the 20-item rule: Find and remove 20 items per day (expired food, unworn clothes, broken items, etc.). Give items to friends, donate to charity, or sell locally for extra cash. Why This Matters for Weight Loss: Decluttering fosters a sense of control and reduces stress-related eating. A tidy kitchen encourages healthier eating and meal prep. Removing distractions makes it easier to focus on self-care and movement. Action Step for Listeners: Pick one small area to declutter today and reflect on how it makes you feel.

1280: The Root Work for True Transformation - Let's Talk About It 15:13

14天之前15:13

15:13

For the longest time, I was chasing change but not true transformation, and my results showed it. I stayed in the struggle for decades. So many of us find ourselves chasing the same goals for months—maybe even years—without ever feeling like we truly get there. But what if the issue isn’t a lack of effort, but rather the approach itself? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the crucial difference between change and transformation and why this distinction matters more than you might think. I’ll share my own personal experience of shifting from temporary change to deep, lasting transformation and how identity-based consistency plays a key role in making sustainable progress. Plus, we’ll dive into the power of setting personal standards, why root work is essential for breaking free from old habits, and a simple but powerful mindset shift that can help you create real, lasting results. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of “starting over,” this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: 🕒 [00:59] – The key reason we struggle to maintain progress over time 🕒 [02:22] – Why focusing on just “what to do” isn’t enough for real change 🕒 [04:23] – Identity-based consistency: shifting from actions to self-definition 🕒 [06:08] – Setting personal standards and why they matter in every area of life 🕒 [07:57] – The hidden beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of frustration 🕒 [10:26] – The “I’ll deal with it later” trap—and how it prevents transformation 🕒 [12:19] – Why successful people ask for help and how to access free resources Links & Resources: 🔗 Join the Consistency Course Waitlist: Click here 🔗 Start the Upgrade Program Now: Click here 🔗 Download the Free Consistency Workbook: primalpotential.com/consistencyquestions 🔗 Follow Me on Instagram: @ElizabethBenton The truth is, you can’t create lasting results without doing the deep, root-level work. Whether you choose to go it alone, work with me, or find another resource, the key is to start —because transformation isn’t about chasing change, it’s about becoming the person who naturally creates the results you want.
