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.

Coming To Terms With The Truth 32:55

Finding out I need surgery hit me with a truth I’ve been avoiding which is: there aren’t many people I can truly rely on. Yeah, there are people who love me, but love and showing up aren’t the same thing. As a single parent, I already carry so much on my own, and this just made me realize how alone I really am. In this episode, I get real about burnout, feeling unsupported, and the weight of doing everything alone. I’m also sharing ways to build the support system you do need, even if it takes a while to build it. From delegating tasks to creating a support system of chosen people, we’re talking about how to lighten the load and stop running on empty. If you’ve ever felt like it’s all on you, this one’s for you. Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about being in a relationship—it’s about celebrating love in all forms. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or self-love, this day is a reminder that you are worthy of love no matter your relationship status. In this episode, I talk about why being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you’re missing out and how you can make the day special for yourself. Plan a solo date, buy yourself flowers, dress up, and romanticize your life the way you deserve. I also share ways to show love to your platonic friendships—maybe plan a girls’ night out or host a fun Galentine’s celebration. Plus, I’ll share my favorite Valentine’s Day memories, from being single to being in a relationship, and how I’m spending this year showering my daughter with love. And if you're in a relationship, let’s be real, love isn’t just for one day a year. No matter how you celebrate, this episode is your reminder that love starts with YOU. 💕 Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

Lately, the world has felt like a lot—political chaos, DEI rollbacks, and just the overall heaviness of everything happening around us. In this episode, I sit down for a raw and unfiltered vent session about how overstimulating it’s been, the weight of having Trump back in office, and how all of this is affecting my mental health. I also reflect on my own struggles with keeping my word to myself, stepping outside my comfort zone, and finding peace in the midst of it all. This episode was recorded before the recent plane crash tragedies, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. If you're struggling to find peace right now—whether because of global events or personal battles—just know you're not alone. I encourage you to go within, focus on what you can control, and take care of yourself. Disconnect when you need to. Meditate, rest, and give yourself grace. Let’s talk about it. 💙 Instagram: @themonicehour X.com: @themonicehour…

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into the topic of imposter syndrome—a feeling many of us face but rarely talk about. Imposter syndrome can hold us back from reaching our full potential, trapping us in doubt, fear, and even complacency because staying in the familiar feels safer than stepping into the unknown.

Whether you’re looking for actionable advice, personal insight, or just reassurance that you’re not alone in this struggle, this episode has something for you.

This is about releasing what no longer serves us, moving forward with intention, and focusing on becoming the best version of ourselves.
