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 this episode of The Worthy Wealthy Woman Podcast, we dive into a topic that every entrepreneur and creative needs to hear—discomfort. Being an entrepreneur isn't about staying comfortable; it's about pushing boundaries, meeting your edge, and leaning into the discomfort that growth requires. Most people retreat when things get uncomfortable, but what if that discomfort is actually a sign that you're on the right path?
In this episode, I share personal stories that helped me redefine my relationship with discomfort and step into my power. We also explore how nervous system regulation plays a key role in neutralizing discomfort, so it no longer holds you back but instead propels you forward. If you're ready to stop avoiding discomfort and start using it as a tool for your success, this episode is for you.

Plus, I’m sharing two exciting opportunities: the Denver Workshop for photographers looking to elevate their business and my CEO SZN group coaching program for creative entrepreneurs ready to step into their full CEO identity (LINKED BELOW).
Tune in, lean in, and embrace the discomfort that leads to your next level.
