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.

220. Reviving Affection in Marriage 21:46

منذ 3 أيام21:46

21:46

Affection is one of the most valuable ways to connect in a relationship, and in this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell talks about its importance and how couples can revive affection in marriage. Whether affection in your marriage is dwindling, or you're looking to establish it for the first time, this episode provides a roadmap to enhance your emotional and physical connection through reviving affection. Dr. Alexandra emphasizes the importance of clear communication, discussing desires openly as a couple, and stripping affection of any transactional nature, especially tied to sexual intimacy. She shares insightful, effective strategies to reinvigorate touch and tenderness in your marital relationship. Tips in this episode: Don’t wait for your partner to read your mind. Be the first to extend affection in a calibrative, gentle manner that suits your current relationship dynamic. Have a conversation with your partner about wanting more affection, ensuring you both are aligned so it doesn't come as a surprise when you start touching more. Redefine affection as an end in itself, not just a prelude to sexual activity. Enjoy the intimacy of simple, non-sexual touches. Engage in an exercise where each partner showcases the type of affection they prefer, promoting mutual understanding and harmony in touch.
