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.

Opening our eyes to a new perspective of spiritual. Tawnya’s soul's purpose is to lift, enlighten, and inspire others on their Spiritual Journey. Tawnya lived most of her life in a state of "knowing" before she stepped forward to develop her Divine Gift from God. Between 2014-2017 she dove deep into a meditation practice where she met and established a sacred bond with her Spirit Guide Rebecca. In 2016, when her grandmother fell ill and passed away, Tawnya received the validation she needed, through the spirit of her beloved grandma, that there is Eternal Life. In that moment, she knew, without a shadow of a doubt, it was time to step into her power and accept her position as a Lightworker and Spirit Communicator. Tawnya's energy and delivery is unique and second to none. She is the Light. She spreads the Light. Tawnya is pure Divine Eternal LOVE.
