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.

Humility: The Solution to Anxiety, Fear, and Weakness with Dr. Joel Muddamalle 37:13

After bonding over coffee as speakers at She Speaks 2024, I knew I had to have Dr. Joel Muddamalle on the podcast! Not only is he an incredible writer, bible teacher, and speaker, but he's a gentle and loving friend and you'll hear that in today's episode. We're talking all about humility, and how often our greatest thorns teach us the greatest things about God. Joel boldly claims that humility is the answer to decreasing our anxiety and fear and helps us figure out if we're actually living in a state of peace in this moment or not. I loved getting to learn from him about pride, self-reliance, and instead, what Jesus' yoke really means.

Where are my working moms at? I'm not gonna lie... this is a tricky tension. As mothers, we deal with guilt, pressure, comparison, and exhaustion on the regular, and that only intensifies when we work (whether from home or outside of the home). That's why I wanted to share some life-giving practical tips that I implement in my own life. My prayer is that you'll walk away from this episode with a more grace-filled approach to mothering and working, and also the hope that you can be a present mom and still do the work God has called you to. -- OUR SPONSOR: Go to https://www.thrivemarket.com/truthtalks for 30% off your first order, plus a FREE $60 gift!

"Gospel mom" is a title we all want as mothers, right? But sometimes that can be easier said than done. Emily Jensen, author, wife, mother, and co-founder of Risen Motherhood, is gracing us with her presence AGAIN, but this time, we're talking about how to center our motherhood on the gospel, and not the culture around us. We answer questions like, "How do we sift through all the voices on social media and in the world and figure out who is worth listening to?" and "How do we make biblical decisions as mothers in the day to day?" and "How to stop comparing ourselves to other mothers?"
