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.

As we traverse the role reversal inherent in caring for our elderly parents, Bailey from North Carolina joins us with a story that many will find familiar yet uniquely heart-wrenching. She opens up about the emotional journey of supporting both her father through through the fog of dementia – and her mother with a severe brain injury - a path marked by tough decisions like the possibility of transitioning to a specialized care facility. Our conversation sheds light on the complex dynamics of caregiving from a distance, the stark reality of personal limits, and the invaluable assistance that care homes provide. We peel back the layers of this emotionally charged topic, revealing how intertwined caregiving is with other life facets, such as parenting and professional commitments.
The onset of Dementia or Alzheimer's disease brings a plethora of challenges that often go unspoken. In this episode, we address these issues head-on, discussing not only the genetic worries and the slow progression of the disease but also the deep-seated guilt and trauma that surface while witnessing a loved one's decline. Cultural nuances in family caregiving emerge as we share our own experiences and the coping mechanisms that have steadied us on this tumultuous journey. Our frank conversation aims to encourage openness, providing solace in the shared understanding of the complexities involved.
Finally, we tackle the emotional weight of caregiving when resources are available, yet the decision to step into this role can be daunting. The chapter unfolds as we confront the shifting family dynamics due to dementia's or Alzheimer's cruel progression, detailing an intimate account of a particularly challenging public episode. As we recount the unpredictable nature of caring for a parent with dementia or Alzheimer's, we underscore the importance of compassion, patience, and the indispensable need for community support. It's a candid exploration of the highs and lows that families face daily, offering solace and understanding to those in similar situations; who are parenting their parents.

Behind the Laughs: Rapid-Fire Questions 26:36

منذ عام واحد26:36

26:36

Navigating through midlife can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. In this recent episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the blissful chaos of midlife, from hilariously honest confessions to valuable insights gained through personal experiences. The concept of midlife is often portrayed with a sense of dread, focusing on the negatives such as hot flashes, weight gain, and the confusion that sometimes comes from navigating life changes. However, our mission is to shine a light on the moments of joy, laughter, and unexpected understanding that arise from this phase of life. The episode begins on a light note as we welcome listeners into the new year with enthusiasm and excitement, showcasing our new podcasting gear. We set the scene for a fun and interactive episode, introducing a game called the Five-Second Rule. This game encourages quick thinking and spontaneous answers to whimsical questions, illustrating how our minds can sometimes struggle to find the most basic responses under pressure. Throughout this segment, we tackle everything from favorite curse words to interesting quirks about our partners, showcasing those relatable moments that anyone can find humor in. As the laughter ensues, we seamlessly transition into a deeper discussion about parenting and the lessons we learned. We address the real struggles that many parents face in instilling valuable life skills in their children, particularly with respect to financial literacy. It’s a moment of introspection as we reflect on our experiences—wishing we had taken the time to emphasize critical lessons about money and responsibility to our older children. This conversation raises significant questions that all of us can relate to: What would you do differently if given the chance? Another highlight comes when we share funny, embarrassing anecdotes, illustrating yet another aspect of the midlife journey—acceptance. We chuckle over wardrobe malfunctions and random accidents that remind us we're human and that mistakes are a big part of life. Laughter often becomes our best coping strategy, easing the burden of life’s little hiccups and reminding us to take things lightly. Sharing these stories not only entertains but also fosters a sense of community among listeners who might feel similarly awkward or embarrassed. As we wrap up the episode, we encourage listeners to engage with us on our social media channels, fostering an ongoing conversation around life’s quirks, shared experiences, and triumphs. It’s about creating a connection—a support system comprised of individuals navigating the wild, beautiful ride that is midlife. This episode is not just about comedy; it's about embracing the human experience. Whether it’s recognizing our flaws, celebrating our victories, or simply enjoying the laughs along the way, we want our listeners to resonate with our message: midlife is just one chapter of many—a time ripe for growth, acknowledgment, and, most importantly, joy. Join us for another adventure next week and remember to keep laughing and thriving through every crazy and wonderful moment of this journey. Thanks for listening!

When Politics Ends Friendships 27:22

What happens when politics come between friendships that have stood the test of time? Join us as we, Ashley and Traci, share the personal and emotional strain that recent political divisions have placed on our 26-year friendship. We reflect on the broader societal trend of social media unfriending and confrontations, revealing the complexities of maintaining respect and understanding amidst differing political views. Our conversation is a candid exploration of how offensive remarks and entrenched beliefs can touch personal lifestyles and test the strength of relationships, while also serving as a reminder of the importance of holding onto democratic values. As we navigate the stormy waters of political discourse, we question the role of technology and misinformation in shaping beliefs and reactions to political events. With Elon Musk’s Starlink entering the voting arena and misinformation running rampant, we tackle the anxiety it brings and the consequences on personal and societal divides. The longing for authentic leadership and the frustration with negative political tactics underscore our discussion, as we ponder why political funds aren't addressing critical social issues like hunger and homelessness. Through our stories, we encourage reflection on how recent elections have impacted friendships and family dynamics, and stress the importance of empathy and open dialogue in a polarized world.

Ever wondered if you could forge meaningful connections with strangers over a surprise dinner? Our latest episode features Nina, who takes us on her intriguing journey with the Time Left Dinner with Strangers app—an innovative platform that organizes social dinners in 65 countries and 285 cities. This isn't about finding love; it's about stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the delightful unpredictability of meeting new people. With surprise dining locations and a diverse mix of attendees, Nina shares her experiences, from awkward age gaps to the joy of spontaneous conversations. We also tackle the nuts and bolts of attending these events, especially in areas like Phoenix where logistics can be a challenge. With a participant pool that's 68% women and a funny quirk of labeling retirees as "not working," the app presents unique dynamics in social interactions. Our discussion covers everything from the importance of conversation starters to the experience of being a remote worker seeking social engagement. By sharing personal stories and discussing the potential improvements of such platforms, this episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone curious about navigating midlife social landscapes.
