Tune in to All1nclusive for a lighthearted discussion of how quickly the future seemed to unravel in 2022 as women got transported back in time! Tracy and Bhavna consider how in some countries women are living in an eerily familiar dystopia, straight out of The Handmaid's Tale. Plus they offer up some actionable advice on 'what can we do about it?!'

In another story hear how the M&M choccy world has become a utopia for female empowerment: Lesbian Green and Brown Chocolates have been welcomed as respected members of society, and Purple Chocolate is now available in plus size. Tracy and Bhavna seem impressed! Times are changing (at least when it comes to chocolate). But seriously folks, will the new femme treats launch a candy industry woke revolution? Or are we really just talking about Toy Story on sugar steroids? Either way, there's no denying it’s an exciting time to bite into a delicious chunk of chocolatey history if that's your lolly, sweet or candy of choice.

In this week's What would YOU do? Tracy and Bhavna explore the tricky terrain of Maternal Bias in the office. Feeling like you're stuck between a rock (your career) and a hard place (parenting)? Do comments about how amazing it is that you can work AND be a Mum makes you feel appreciated...or judged? Whether your office situation needs to get with the times or if it's just one misstep in an otherwise comfortable corporate culture, Tracy and Bhavna take on this topic head-on! Listen up to find out how Bhavna would handle it, it might just give you some food for thought!

On the latest thought-provoking episode of All1nccusive, we have a warm welcome for new co-host Bhavna. Listen to Tracy and Bhavna's amusing tale on how they first met at an unforgettable Meet-Up! Tracy shares her interpretation of the meaning of Equality and they discuss if success can truly buy you respect.

They get stuck into South Korea for abolishing its own Gender Equality Ministry in response to growing concerns from young men that they had become victims of reverse discrimination. They talk about the many women who have spoken out about their treatment in the workplace - like the bank clerk who was asked to fetch lunch and wash bathroom towels just because she was a woman and the newby! :-0

In another story, Tracy and Bhavna explore the impactful shift to diversity in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant, with Thai business Tycoon Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip at the helm. Anne also a Transgender Activist has made history by being the first-ever woman to own a beauty pageant franchise. A number of changes have been made for the 2023 competition allowing married women and mothers to compete. The ladies examine what the future could hold for Miss Universe. Will new frontiers will be explored? Will we see pageants that resemble something between Ru Paul's Drag Race and a Dove Commercial? Only time will tell what opportunities await contestants down the road!

In this week's What would YOU do? Tracy and Bhavna tackle a hot topic: can equality measures actually move us further away from true parity? They take an in-depth look at the concept of being the "only".

With 2022 wrapping up, the All1nclusive team are taking some time out -In this thought-provoking feature "What Would You Do?", Tracy and Meenal asked some tough questions last year that made us ponder- have you ever had to make a decision that felt wrong for the sake of appeasing other people? Have you been pressed into changing your name in order to make it more palatable? Or have you taken a stand against discrimination faced by People of Color or LGBTQIA+ communities?

With 2022 wrapping up, the All1nclusive team are taking some time out -In the feature "What Would You Do?", our thought-provoking show, gave us a lot to think about last year. From exploring how we can combat discrimination against marginalized groups like People of Color and the LGBTQIA+ community, to investigating why 'well meaning' phrases such as "I don't see colour" may be taken offensively...we've certainly had an eye-opening few months! Oh - plus deadnaming? That was tackled head too.

In this week's Episode Tracy and Meenal bring to light a crucial - yet often overlooked - issue of medical inequalities, a topic thataffects so many women around the world.  If you've ever been frustrated by or experienced medical misogyny or inequality you're not alone. Every day more people come together to speak out against it through hashtags #genderpaingap, #medicalinequality and #genderpaingapawareness. Tracy and Meenal chat about the realities of this very complex issue facing women today due to a combination of social prejudice, medical ignorance and research exclusion - but there is a glimmer of hope! Recently Australia announced plans to tackle this issue head on in order to make change for those affected. We can only hope other nations follow suit soon!

In another story Tracy and Meenal were blown away by the remarkable story of miss Keeley Murphy. At only 13, she founded a charity that provides iPads to children with autism and intellectual disabilities across Australia - and soon it'll be making it mark on a global scale!  Her impact has been substantial and has seen hundreds of kids provided with iPads to support their learning. This story is truly heartwarming and serves as an incredible reminder of the power of each individual to create positive change in our world. We could all learn something useful from Keeley's outlook: no matter what your age or background, you have the ability to make an amazing difference in someone’s life!  This story really highlights the real spirit of equality.

Also in this Episode we bid a fond farewell to the remarkable Meenal, whose presence on the All1nclusive Podcast team was nothing short of delightful! Seeya and thanks for all you’ve done - we'll miss ya!

In this episode of All1nclusive, Tracy and Meenal chat with Andrew Low, transformation coach and trainer of coaches. Andrew shares his amusing story of landing in the Australian country town of Toowoomba as a student from Malaysia at the age of 21, in search of himself. He had always planned on completing his degree and moving back home to start a family, but his time Down Under changed his whole life, allowing him to finally be honest about who he was - one that defied traditional expectations!

Hear him open up about coming out to his family - embodying curiosity while navigating tricky situations that might be a little bit racist. 

Andrew's journey to self-discovery is a story of courage and strength. After his life unraveled due to depression, workaholism, and surviving an almost fatal car crash, he had the courage to embrace who he was truly meant to be in spite of feeling like something may have been wrong with him. Nowadays Andrew trains and mentors coaches on how they can help others navigate their own struggles with the support of transformation coaching - swapping out pain for wisdom and self-love.

Andrew is a witty and funny guy with a heart of gold, who wants nothing more than to help others find their true purpose in life.

This week on the show, Tracy and Meenal dive into the controversial story of when Lady Hussey, a trusted acquaintance of the Royal family, questioned cherished charity boss Ngozi Fulani on her heritage at an event at Buckingham Palace. The black British guest was repeatedly asked where she "really" came from despite having already stated that it was Britain!

Tracy and Meenal reveal why Lady Hussey's questioning of Ngozi Fulani at Buckingham Palace was more than just a case of genuine curiosity - it had an undeniable undertone that made some people scratch their heads. Plus they dive into what makes this type of inquiry so offensive (hint: it rhymes with "racism"). But is it possible to ask someone where they're from without coming across as a bigot?

Tracy and Meenal explore the type of questions to ask if you're curious about someone's heritage and the difference between polite curiosity and prejudice. They also share their own stories of relevant encounters in this all too familiar situation!

In another story, Tracy and Meenal roused their celebratory spirits to commemorate the International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD) by examining Kurt Fearnley's thought-provoking article for ABC! This Paralympic Gold Medallist shined his flashlight on Australia's laws surrounding disability discrimination, which - oh boy! Let’s just say there were a few deficiencies compared to European countries...or even our own US counterparts. The question remains: Do we have what it takes to bridge this gap? Only time will tell if intentions are set in motion or simply meant as empty promises.

In this week's What would YOU do? Tracy and Meenal tackle the topic of intersectional Bias - a form of discrimination where multiple biases play out. It can be targeted at gender, race, sexuality, ability, age etc. So the question is: What would you do if someone in your workplace raised concerns about changing video call software to accommodate women with visual impairment? Listen to how Meenal would handle it, might just give you some food for thought!

In this week's Episode, Tracy and Meenal talk about performance bias in the workplace and take a look at why being a female leader can be so unappealing. Are you a woman who doesn't want to be a leader? You're not alone! According to a recent survey, being a leader is the least favourable attribute for young women today. But why is that? Tracy and Meenal talk about the double standards and abuse that women leaders face day-to-day, and how that is discouraging young women from taking on leadership roles. They also share some surprising and amusing statistics from the latest research on attitudes towards women leaders - did you know that 92% of Americans couldn't name a single female leader in tech? Tracy and Meenal are laughing out loud when they read that the other 8% offered "Alexi" or "Siri". Seriously?!

Did you know that buying lipstick could make a difference? Tracy and Meenal cheer on MAC Cosmetics on their latest campaign. MAC supports the LGBTQI+ community by giving back through charities - all with just one purchase of a single lipstick! Stigma is a huge issue facing the LGBTQI community and MAC partners with various organisations to eliminate stigma and empower the community. It's an amazing thing when everyday choices can help someone in need - just the purchase of 1 lipstick can support a homeless person living with HIV and AIDS for 2 days.

In this week's "What would YOU do?", Tracy and Meenal explore an issue that is sadly still prevalent in today's workplace. 'Performance Bias' is behaviour where women is repeatedly talked over and interrupted during meetings. Listen to why it matters!
