How important is “good” speech to your advancement and promotion at work? Or just navigating everyday life? And what are the hidden rules about what’s good? In this episode, Unapologetically Speaking, we’re taking a look at how the way we speak influences how we are perceived by others. And who defined Standard American English in the first place? We'll answer these questions and more.
What is privilege? Do you have privilege? Various definitions tell us that privilege is unearned access to resources but it’s the word “unearned” that puts people on edge and makes them defensive. So in this episode, we’re going to talk about privilege, what it is, what it means to different people and why it’s ok to be unapologetic about the privilege you have.
In this episode we explore what unapologetic means on a personal level. Because change starts on the inside. Internally. Right where you are. How do you be you, unapologetically, in all the places and spaces you show up? How and where do you bring your whole self to the party, and where do you hold back? What does it mean to be unapologetically you?
Everything is negotiable. Even if you’ve been told it isn’t or think it isn’t, or is it? In this episode we bust a few myths about who asks, why women don’t ask and how to ask, or maybe demand, what we want.
Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” But what is better and how do you define better? We have unreal expectations about what parenting should be and what a working parent should look like and as we try to build more inclusive workplaces sometimes we look at a person and wonder, “Who raised you?” This podcast topic isn’t about shaming or blaming, we're simply voicing s...
What prompted us to start this dialogue? As usual, an off-hand comment, a casual remark, or an event that causes one of us to say, "are you kidding me??"
What does it mean to be woke? What’s the definition? How woke do you have to be? You can't be woke because you have a black friend and you aren't woke just because you're protesting. If you had an opportunity to be woke and missed it, listen it and you might get a new opportunity....
How many days do you find yourself at work - tired, overworked and feeling burned out?
There is nothing we as the co-hosts love more than a good mental health day, but in a culture where some people are applauded for working long days with no vacation in sight, how do you change this culture so that it benefits you and your well being?
Stop working yourself to death, stop working your employees to death and cut yourself...
There are so many rules to live by… be strong, but don’t be bossy; speak up, but not too loudly . . .
We know you’re tired of living by rules made by someone else and so are we. Join us as we discuss how to break the rules and stay employed!
Do you have a hard time saying no? Do you find yourself saying, "I shoulda said no"? Or asking yourself why you said yes to THAT? You're not alone.

Tired of being cast as angry? Tired of being told to calm down when you have every right to be angry? In this episode, we talk about anger as a symptom of something underlying that needs to be addressed. When women are more likely than men to suppress anger at work and they are more likely than men to be penalized for showing anger we have to do something to change this biased way of thinking.
As we go through this season with a theme of Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda, we thought it would be good to introduce the hosts to you and we hope you'll get to know us more as we travel along this journey together.
