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.

“Give yourself permission to feel foolish” was the caption by @rosegoldandlemon, that stopped me in my tracks and left me feeling slightly sad and kind of struck at realizing how safe I tend to play it. In this episode of 2 Elephants in the room, we process what it is to do something with reckless abandon. How does it feel to give your all to something, even if it makes you feel a little foolish? What are the benefits of being that close to life and not letting embarrassment deter you?

Please note that this episode does discuss suicide. With no end in sight, this pandemic has the ability to exaggerate daily stressors. Everyone is experiencing more frequent difficult days and while some people reach out for help, others are losing their lives. We've talked about reaching out for support but who is helping the helpers? In this episode, Alicia and I explore our experience with being therapists in a pandemic and how it impacts us personally as our caseloads increase and our opportunities to recharge feel further away.

Which is better, the "Golden Rule": treat people how you want to be treated, or the "Platinum Rule": treat people how they want to be treated? In this episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about how we give support to people and how we ask for support. In our society, it's common that people just try to do things on their own, it's almost expected. But the reality is that we're living in an uncertain time and as we figure out what life is in a pandemic, we may find that we need a little more support from one another. How do you show up for others? How do you show up for yourself?

Have you heard about Dr. Carl Hart? He's the tenured professor of psychology and psychiatry at Columbia University who is claiming that using heroin in specific doses for limited amounts of time is not harmful. It's quite controversial and scientifically, I understand what he's saying but socially he's missing the mark. In this episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about Dr. Hart's claims and the implications his ideas around hard drugs has on a society that is constantly trying to feel good. What do you think? Can a person safely and regularly use heroin? Listen in and let's discuss. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2-elephants-in-the-room/message…

Crisis Comparison 32:14

منذ 4 years32:14

32:14

By now we've all probably figured some small ways to create normalcy in this pandemic. We schedule weekly videochats with family or we made designated work from home space in our homes. As much as we are grateful to still have a home or a job, we can feel like something is still off. We feel sad or anxious and there seems to be no real reason why. So we start comparing our experience to the stories we've heard from friends and the news about the significant increase in unemployment, tent cities and homelessness. All of a sudden we feel guilt for even thinking of complaining. In this week's episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, we talk about crisis comparison and how we invalidate our own experience because we see that someone else has it harder. Every experience is valid and your feelings around not being able to live your norm are legitimate. It does not mean that we don't acknowledge the differences, we just don't assign a value that downplays what we're going through because we see the difference. Have you been comparing your experience to that of others? Do you invalidate your grief because it's "not as bad as" someone else's?

Grief comes to us in so many ways, through loss and transition or unmet expectations. There is also space where we know that loss or transition is coming and it causes us to begin to grieve in advance. This week's episode of 2 Elephants In The Room, Alicia and Erin explore impending grief, how it's different from immediate grief and ways to manage all the feelings. Have you ever experienced impending grief? What did you do to deal with the feelings?

Doing things for the first time can be nerve-wracking. Personally, it has lead to a lot of "productivity paralysis". In this episode, I'm coming to you solo dolo to talk about ways to get over the things that stop you from working out your great ideas and get you closer to exhibiting your full potential. Often we look at the new year as an opportunity to do new things, but fear can stop us. Learning to trust your intuition and be adventurous can remedy that.
