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.

In today’s episode here are some of the questions we have covered: You are a Psychologist and a yoga teacher who has spent a large part of your career trying to marry the two together. Have you seen a greater acceptance for yoga in the mental health world? You have a new book out called Mental Health aware yoga for people listening, can you explain what Mental Health Aware yoga is? Why would you recommend someone attend a mental health aware yoga class? How does it differ from other yoga? What are some of the benefits of practising Mental Health Aware yoga? In your book you talk about the importance of how we practise yoga over what we practice? Can you speak to this for us? As I age I've naturally felt drawn to a slower gentler yoga practice and find loud full dynamic classes stressful. When I was younger I loved them. I found the research Bessel Van der Kolk did fascinating. Could you tell listeners about the study and its findings? There is a lot of focus these days on breath work in the wellness space, but for some bringing attention to the breath can be unsettling. What is the approach to cueing breath in mental health aware yoga? Why do yoga teachers need to know about mental health aware yoga and where could one start expanding their knowledge? Can you talk about the importance of creating a safe container in a yoga class? I am perimenopausal/menopausal woman who is feeling anxious but I want to practice yoga, what type of yoga would you suggest?
