  • Where Did Play Go? Reclaiming Your Joyful Self in a Serious World

    Where Did Play Go? Reclaiming Your Joyful Self in a Serious World
    2025/10/06
    Episode Summary: Have you ever felt like a part of yourself got lost along the way? That lighter, playful version of you—the one who laughed without thinking, chased silly ideas, or turned a rainy day into an adventure—quietly slipped away amid responsibilities, deadlines, and endless to-do lists? When was the last time you played just for the joy of it? Not for productivity, not for output…just for YOU? In this episode of Advancing Women Podcast, I explore the lost art of playfulness and why reclaiming it matters; not just for joy, but for creativity, resilience, connection, and well-being. Drawing inspiration from childhood stories, pop culture, and science-backed research, I’ll share practical strategies to invite play back into your life. #tunein We’ll discuss: Why productivity culture and societal pressures often push play aside, especially for ambitious women.How play actually improves brain function, problem-solving, creativity, and relationships.Micro-play rituals and imaginative practices you can start today.How reconnecting with your playful self can reduce stress, spark joy, and strengthen community. Key Takeaways: Playfulness is not optional—it’s foundational to thriving.Shared laughter and playful interactions enhance connection and trust.Start small: 5 minutes of dancing, doodling, silly voice texts, or gamifying everyday tasks can reignite your playful spirit.Revisit childhood joys and bring them into adult life intentionally.Use micro-play rituals to make routine spaces and moments playful and alive.

  • The feedback trap. When Criticism is Really Bias.

    The feedback trap. When Criticism is Really Bias.
    2025/09/22
    We’ve all heard it: “You’re too controlling.” “You should smile more.” “Maybe if you weren’t so emotional…” But here’s the truth: not all feedback is created equal. And far too often, what women receive isn’t feedback at all. It’s bias dressed up as “constructive criticism.” In this episode, we’re tackling a common but often invisible challenge in professional and personal life: feedback that masquerades as growth but is actually bias. We explore how women frequently receive critiques that focus on personality, style, or likability rather than skills or outcomes. Feedback that can drain energy, reinforce double standards, and perpetuate gender bias. Finally, I share strategies for reframing and resisting biased feedback, so you can protect your confidence and focus on growth that truly matters. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working twice as hard to fix things that were never broken, this episode is for you. Key Topics Covered: Feedback vs. bias: How to tell the differenceCompetence vs. likability: The damned-if-you-do, doomed-if-you-don’t bindJoan Williams’ prove-it-again bias and its impact on women’s careersVocal fry, uptalk, and other examples of style policing as biasPractical strategies: reframing biased feedback and pushing back with questions Manifestatement (Key Takeaway): Biased feedback is not your personal deficit. You are neither broken, nor defective. By reframing and resisting, we reclaim our power, keep the focus on outcomes, and push toward greater equity. Resources & References: Williams, J.

  • Animal Kingdom’s Painted Dogs and the Case for Collaborative Leadership

    Animal Kingdom’s Painted Dogs and the Case for Collaborative Leadership
    2025/09/08
    Episode Summary: What can a pack of African painted dogs teach us about leadership and gender equity? A lot more than you might think. On a recent Disney trip with my son, I hopped on my favorite ride - Kilimanjaro Safari -in one of my favorite parks – Animal Kingdom, and our guide, Kyla, shared something that really caught my attention: painted dogs are the most successful hunters in the animal kingdom with an incredible 85% success rate. Compare that to the so-called “King of the Jungle,” the lion, who is successful only about 20% of the time. The difference? Not brute force. Not dominance. Not confidence. The painted dogs’ secret is collaboration. They succeed because an alpha male and alpha female lead together, backed by the entire pack. In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we explore: Why win/win beats win/lose in leadership and equity.The hidden strengths that are too often overlooked and undervalued.How McKinsey research proves diverse, collaborative leadership outperforms.The importance of communal traits like empathy, compassion, and collaboration.Why the future of leadership looks a lot less like lions, and a lot more like painted dogs. This episode is a reminder that leadership and equity aren’t about fighting for the biggest piece of the pie. it’s about ditching the scarcity mindset in favor of abundance. Win/Win! If you lead a team, an organization, or even your own family, this episode will challenge you to rethink leadership and equity, not as competition, but as collaboration. #tunein and discover why the case for gender equity is really the case for better leadership for everyone.
