Can You Ever Really Know the Person You're Married to or Dating? What About Friendship?

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.

Think about it: Do we really know the person? Do we feel like we know the person because we are married to them, have been dating them for years, or have been friends with them? Hmm, are they showing us what they want us to see? Is there another side totally opposite from the one we are seeing? Is there an uncaring, cruel, and mean side?

Consult With Yourself First on Every Decision, Not Family and Friends 8:15

Send us a text Talking to yourself isn’t a sign of craziness; I do it regularly, even in the dressing room. Verbalizing my thoughts helps me work through them and make sense of my decisions before discussing them with a friend or family member. Ultimately, I will be the final decision-maker. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

My Three-Year Roadmap to Life After Divorce 20:31

Send us a text This was the roadmap I created for myself. I wasn't sure if it would work, but surprisingly, it did. Divorce is scary because your life changes completely. I decided that I wanted my financial situation to remain the same, so I developed a path to success. I also knew I wanted to date—not just casually, but to truly embrace dating, just as I did before marriage. I can say it has worked out better than I thought! https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text Sometimes, ladies feel like they are comprising, but really, you are taking a backseat. The problem is that it's in our nature to be givers, and it's such a bad trait. Then we become upset, our health goes down the drain, and we don't know why. The problem is right there in front of us, but we start to blame our husbands. Yeah, he might have a little part in it, but we are the biggest problem. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text Ladies, you have to stop using excuses for why he ignores you or doesn't acknowledge you on this important day. Please stop with that old saying, "He shows me 365 days out of the year," because you know that isn't true. It might be time for you to move on. Why stay if you aren't shown love on the biggest lover day of the year?…

Send us a text I see women whining about their recent breakups all the time, but I question if they truly understand what they're feeling and crying about. I don't think they know. It seems to me that women feel pressured to show some kind of emotion after a breakup. I know I can't be the only one who finds it somewhat laughable when a breakup occurs. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text Dating should be new and exciting, yet somehow, we tend to fall into the same old patterns. We often discuss the same topics in every relationship, the only difference being that it's with a different person. Honestly, this approach isn't working; we either end up breaking up or getting bored to death. So, let's switch up, do some things differently, try new questions, and see where things go. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text I believe the downfall of any relationship, whether romantic or platonic, occurs when one person becomes a carbon copy of the other. I think relying on someone else to make you happy and fill all the voids in your life can create too much pressure for anyone. Additionally, dating just one person can be a waste of time. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…

Send us a text Many friendships end because you weren't being your true self; instead, you were trying to be what your friend wanted you to be. You were being her and doing the things she liked. When you attempted to express your own preferences or assert your individuality, conflicts arose. As a result, there was no space for your personal growth, yet despite all of this, you still find yourself missing her. But why is that? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/…
