Let’s talk about...who's in your corner

Welcome to UN/DO - the podcast where we rethink work, rest, and play. Hosted by Dulcie and Yemisi, this season is all about unlearning the rules we’ve been handed and doing life on our terms. If you’re done shrinking, settling, or running on fumes…you’re in the right place.

This week, we’re talking about support, but not just in the ‘get a mentor’ or ‘find a sponsor’ kind of way. We’re going deeper. Because a lot of us are navigating big decisions, messy seasons, and major growth without a support system that truly fits who we are now. This episode is about moving beyond the cold, corporate frameworks and building something more human. More real. More you.

In this episode:

• Why mentorship and sponsorship alone aren’t enough

• The pressure to ‘network’ instead of connect

• Why traditional support systems don’t always meet our emotional or creative needs

• What we can learn from Michelle Obama’s ‘inner circle’

• Our signature UN/DO practice - one thing to unlearn, one thing to do differently

Books mentioned:

• The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama

• The Long Game by Dorie Clark

• Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad

• Find Your People by Jennie Allen
