  • Tell Me You’re A Woman In Accounting

    Tell Me You’re A Woman In Accounting
    2026/03/25
    It's Questian's birthday, and your hosts are celebrating with the most creative gift they could think of: a crowdsourced collection of "You know you're a woman in accounting when..." moments from their community. From conference survival strategies to scheduling babies around busy season, the hosts laugh, vent, and commiserate over the absurdities of life in this profession. Plus, a bonus visit from Nancy's best friend Shawn Simmons, who joins Nancy and Questian to share her sabbatical project using graphic design and fiber arts to build community around women's menopause journeys.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Welcome and Sponsors(02:29) - Why We Needed Laughs(03:20) - Community Shoutouts and Messages(05:00) - Turning 44 Past Your Prime(08:25) - Conference Packing and Swag(12:10) - Costumes and Hotel Room Chaos(23:07) - Planning Life Around Busy Season(26:22) - Pregnant in a Blizzard Work Story(27:31) - January Tears and Quitting Thoughts(28:48) - January Time Warp(30:32) - Hormones And Hot Flashes(31:52) - Menopause Community Mission(34:02) - Meet Shawn Simmons(34:57) - Sabbatical Research Deep Dive(39:22) - Survey And How To Help(43:52) - Woman In Accounting When(47:28) - Funny And Painful Truths(53:39) - Flash Mob Accountant Story(58:27) - Birthday Wishes And Wrap UpResourcesMenopause Resources 5-min Survey - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLXGxG-pYYJNS63ppsPC34o1-GVJtnsLkbLmTSvskxa_xiOg/viewformShawn Simmons on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-simmons-6783208/Bookkeeping Buds - https://www.bookkeepingbuds.com/Theatre of Public Speaking - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/?ref=857055Aileen Gilpin on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aileengilpin/Candy Bellau on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicejohnsonkramerica/Lynda Artesani on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynda-artesani/Melissa Miller Furgeson on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissamillerfurgeson/Vanessa Vasquez on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/quickbooksenespanol/Mindy Leubke on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindyluebke/Ellen Oliver on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellen-oliver/Dr. Jackie Meyer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackiecpa/Robina Bennion on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robina-bennion/Jean Zick on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanzick/Jennifer Weed on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferweed/Dr. Sam Graber on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsamgraber/Dawn Slokan on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnslokan/Terry Saracino on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-saracino-098644187/Stephanie Steinke on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-steinke/Olivia Henley on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivia-henley-756b468/Gail Perry on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gailperrycpa/Misty Schachtell Megia on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/misty-schachtell-3a634a2/Theatre of Public Speaking on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theatreofpublicspeakingCindy Schroeder on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brightbooks/Bookkeeping Buds on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/bookkeeping-budsSPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media

  • Credit Where Due: The Hidden Cost of “Borrowed” Ideas

    Credit Where Due: The Hidden Cost of “Borrowed” Ideas
    2026/03/11

    After one of Nancy's slide decks recently turned up in someone else's presentation without her name or her invitation, she and Questian decided to dig into the many forms plagiarism takes in professional life. From blatant reuse of materials to the murkier territory of borrowed ideas, they explore why credit tends to drift toward higher-status voices; what the research says about how this affects women differently; and why speaking up — for yourself and for each other — is the most important thing you can do about it.

  • Pancakes, Power Suits & Personal Autonomy: What Women Wear at Work Isn’t the Problem

    Pancakes, Power Suits & Personal Autonomy: What Women Wear at Work Isn’t the Problem
    2026/02/25
    When an Ernst & Young seminar told female executives that women's brains absorb information like pancakes soak up syrup, as opposed to retaining information like men, whose brains are more like waffles, it made headlines — and it still stings. Nancy and Questian dig into why sexist trainings on topics like women's clothing and appearance remain a workplace issue in accounting, from vague dress code language to the cognitive toll of constant self-monitoring. The conversation gets personal, gets real, and ends with a three-question self-test that has nothing to do with what anyone else thinks.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts(01:16) - Why Women’s Clothes Are Still Policed at Work(02:14) - The Resurfaced EY Workshop: ‘Power Presence and Purpose’(04:04) - Pancakes vs. Waffles: The Absurd ‘Brain’ Analogy(05:34) - Masculine/Feminine Scorecards & Stereotypes in Leadership(08:01) - ‘Sexuality Scrambles the Brain’: Dress Codes Start Young(10:16) - Polished, Don’t Ramble, Don’t Confront: Behavior Rules for Women(13:35) - Shifting Responsibility + A Real Conference Story(16:58) - When Attire Really Is a Safety Issue (Rail Yard Example)(20:09) - Accountability & Research: Fines, Reviews, and Lookism Today(25:58) - The ‘Attractive Accountant’ Comment: Why ‘Just Take It as a Compliment’ Fails(29:15) - Blending In vs. Being Yourself: Power Suits, Color, and the Double Bind(30:39) - Finding Your Style Again: The Necklace Story & Owning Your Presence(33:59) - Dressing for Alignment: Quieting Self-Doubt So You Can Focus(35:06) - Objectification Theory: How Body Monitoring Hurts Performance(37:49) - The Double Standard: Why Women Overthink Outfits (and Men Don’t)(40:53) - Dress Codes & the ‘Emotional Tax’ (Especially for Women of Color)(42:08) - Pantyhose Rules and Other Outdated Policies: Real-World Stories(45:24) - Gender-Neutral Policies vs. Reality: Redefining Professionalism(49:58) - Culture Fit Matters: When a Suit Makes Clients Trust You Less(54:12) - From Appearance to Function: How Allies Can Redirect the Conversation(56:10) - What to Do If You’re Unsure What to Wear: Mentors, HR, and Clarity(01:01:23) - Practical Self-Test + Closing Challenge to Rethink Dress CodesResourcesDress for the job you want meme - https://www.facebook.com/OfficialLyndaCarter/photos/dress-for-the-job-you-want-/1159144220762794/Erica Goode LinkedIn post re: physical attractiveness comment - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/erica-goode-cpa_opentowork-activity-7394630117991309312-LD3k“Professionalism” often codes male and white… unless you’re Will Ferrell on SNL - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mLsU46h8IAStereotype Threat - https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/psychology/stereotype-threatStudies & Articles Cited:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/women-ernst-young-how-to-dress-act-around-men_n_5da721eee4b002e33e78606ahttps://www.app.com/story/money/business/main-street/2021/06/02/ernst-young-training-program-nj-investigation-fine-power-presence-purpose/7489879002/https://people.com/human-interest/women-ernst-young-told-dress-act-around-men/https://news.bloombergtax.com/financial-accounting/ey-settles-n-j-charges-over-offensive-leadership-traininghttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/27/ey-oceania-staff-bullying-racism-sexual-harassment-elizabeth-broderickhttps://www.fastcompany.com/91229638/lookism-is-alive-and-well-and-getting-worse-heres-why-your-appearance-is-judged-more-than-performancehttps://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1997.tb00108.xSPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media

  • When There’s No App for What You Need: Building the Tool You Wish You Had

    When There’s No App for What You Need: Building the Tool You Wish You Had
    2026/02/11

    Judie McCarthy's team was spending a third of their time chasing down information—then one of her biggest clients called in tears, completely overwhelmed by the constant requests. Judie joins Questian and Nancy to share why that moment launched her from bookkeeper to tech founder. She talks through juggling two full-time jobs for years, selling her 25-year practice to the lowest bidder (and why that was the right call), and why the fear of regret turned out to be stronger than every other fear she had about building something new.

  •  Unmuted: Turning Down the Self-Doubt, Turning Up the Volume

     Unmuted: Turning Down the Self-Doubt, Turning Up the Volume
    2026/01/28
    Questian and Nancy sit down with Misty Megia of the Theatre of Public Speaking to explore why women so often stay muted—in meetings, on stages, and in their own heads. They unpack the roots of negative self-talk, why we're so much harsher on ourselves than we'd ever be with a friend, and how to bridge the gap between knowing something logically and feeling it emotionally. Misty shares specific techniques for moving past self-doubt and making self-promotion feel authentic instead of performative.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts (02:12) - Misty's Inspirational Story (05:42) - The Concept of Unmuting (12:31) - Overcoming Self-Doubt and Negative Self-Talk (16:40) - Practical Tips for Building Confidence (32:25) - Reflecting on Childhood and Self-Doubt (34:27) - Navigating the Challenges of Self-Promotion (41:20) - The Importance of Community and Support (47:00) - Learning from Men: Authentic Self-Promotion (53:25) - Upcoming Programs and OpportunitiesResourcesMisty Schachtell Megia on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/misty-schachtell-3a634a2/Theatre of Public Speaking Spring 2026 Cohort - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/bundles/tops-spring26?ref=857055Theatre of Public Speaking Spring 2026 Cohort VIP - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/bundles/spring26-vip?ref=857055Theatre of Public Speaking on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theatreofpublicspeaking/Theatre of Public Speaking on IG - https://www.instagram.com/theatreofpublicspeaking/Dr. Tara Swart, “The Source” - https://www.taraswart.com/the-source/Dr. Tara Swart videos - https://www.taraswart.com/videos/List of common cognitive distortions - https://mentalhealthcenterkids.com/products/common-cognitive-distortions-pdfNegative self-talk meme - https://kbravo.substack.com/p/cartoon-autopsy-negative-self-talkKate Johnson, “How Accountants Can Grow On Video” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFWwclJHcjEChair Whimsy Upholstery Courses - https://chairwhimsy.com/courses/The Blissful Life Podcast - ToPS Series - https://youtu.be/uM5voT6Fhks?si=-R3zNWReZNmR8LT6Studies Cited:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10963437/https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.10985https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3652533/https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/2025/program/paper/4diYF3ZQhttps://labs.psych.ucsb.edu/sherman/david/sites/labs.psych.ucsb.edu.sherman.david/files/pubs/sherman.lokande.muller.cohen_.2021.sa_.pdfSPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media

    LIVE from Women Who Count, Part Two
    2026/01/14
    Recorded live at AFWA’s Women Who Count Conference, Questian and Nancy are joined by employment attorney Kami Hoskins and HR leader Julie Thiel for an unflinching conversation about sexual harassment in accounting. From boundary-crossing “jokes” and unwanted physical contact to explicit quid pro quo threats, this panel breaks down how harassment actually shows up at work… and why it’s so often minimized, misread, or missed entirely in the moment. They pull back the curtain on what really happens when HR gets involved, why silence is often mistaken for professionalism, and how power dynamics shape who is believed and who is protected.

  • ADHD: Chaos With a Side of Brilliance

    ADHD: Chaos With a Side of Brilliance
    2025/12/17
    Two accountants with ADHD (and one who’s got lots of questions) get real about what it's like when your brain won't filter information, when 30 minutes turns into either 3 hours or 3 minutes, and when opening your email derails your entire day. Jina Etienne joins Questian and Nancy to discuss early- vs later-in-life diagnosis; the exhaustion of masking symptoms for decades; the superpowers inherent in ADHD; and why women in accounting are finally putting words to experiences they've had their whole lives. If you’ve wondered about ADHD in accounting… yet all your resources are male, this is the episode for you.SponsorsForwardly - https://www.forwardly.com/shecountsRelay- https://relayfi.com/shecountsClient Hub - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecounts(00:00) - Introduction and Episode Overview (00:51) - Meet Our Guest: Jina Etienne (05:25) - Personal Stories of ADHD Diagnosis (08:15) - Understanding ADHD in Women (11:27) - Challenges and Misconceptions (19:42) - Masking Behaviors and Functional Freeze (30:59) - The Impact of Late Diagnosis (37:38) - Navigating Social Cues (38:42) - Communication Styles with My Husband (44:59) - Understanding Time Blindness (48:36) - Managing ADHD with Tools and Strategies (59:32) - The Power of Hyperfocus (01:03:12) - Embracing ADHD Superpowers (01:05:15) - Conclusion and Final ThoughtsResourcesJina Etienne on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/etiennejina/“Speaking the Unspoken” by Jina Etienne - https://www.etienneconsulting.com/post/speaking-the-unspokenThe Distracted Elephant podcast by Jina Etienne & Ipalla Cooke - https://www.distractedelephant.com Jina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@etienneconsulting Jina’s personal blog: Fearlessly Me - https://www.fearlessly-me.com “ADHD: Beyond the Stereotypes in the Workplace” by Jina Etienne - https://report.woodard.com/articles/adhd-beyond-the-stereotypes-in-the-workplace-ophrwr “Understanding ADHD: Looking Past Stereotypes” by Jina Etienne - https://report.woodard.com/articles/understanding-adhd-looking-past-stereotypes-ophrwrHelpful links:CDC - How is ADHD Diagnosed (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html)Adult ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis (https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/patient-care/prevention-wellness/emotional-wellbeing/adhd-toolkit/assessment-and-diagnosis.htmlTesting for ADHD: How ADHD Is Diagnosed (https://www.verywellmind.com/diagnosis-of-adhd-20584)Symptoms of Adult ADHD https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/adult-adhdMore and more women being diagnosed with ADHD, study findshttps://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/more-and-more-women-being-diagnosed-with-adhd-new-study-finds/Time Blindness in ADHD https://www.verywellmind.com/causes-and-symptoms-of-time-blindness-in-adhd-5216523 The Creativity of ADHD https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-creativity-of-adhd/“ADHD Impairment Peaks in Menopause, According to ADDitude Reader Survey” https://www.additudemag.com/menopause-symptoms-adhd-survey/ “This Is How Your ADHD Can Affect You During Menopause” https://drbrighten.com/adhd-and-menopause Links from studies and articles cited in the episode:Adult ADHD and comorbid anxiety and depressive disorders: a review of etiology and treatment - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12179154/The female side of pharmacotherapy for ADHD: A systematic literature review - https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0239257PubMed, Prevalence of Undiagnosed ADHD in Adults - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39830803/“Focus & Flow: The ADHD Accountant’s Survival Guide” (CPA Practice Advisor, 2024) - https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.com/2024/09/09/working-with-adhd-a-toolkit-for-accountants/110133/“Resources and Strategies Are Available to Accountants with ADHD” (NYSSCPA / Accounting Today) - https://nysscpa.org/article-content/resources-and-strategies-are-available-to-accountants-with-adhd-091224SPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media
