In this episode we will be talking about the concept of vulnerability. A couple of years ago research professor Brené Brown went viral with her TEDtalk on this topic. As a researcher she defines the concept of vulnerability by uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. Having collected 13.000 pieces of data over a period of 12 years, she ultimately concluded that vulnerability is about taking courage. Although these research findings speak a sense of truth, in this episode we will unpack what vulnerability and its paradoxes mean in our ordinary daily lives. I am joined by Edward Kerkhof and Nicholas Toko - with both of them I’ve shared interesting, but different conversations about vulnerability.

In this episode we will be talking about diversity and inclusion in the workforce. A topic that increasingly has been advocated by organisations - by means of really caring or fear of missing out and losing organisational legitimacy.

In this episode we will be talking about curls and its identity dynamic, as I'm joined by fellow curly, Dutch-Moroccan women: Ikram and Ilham. What made us embrace our curls? And how does this tie into the bigger scheme of self-acceptance? Tune in to hear what we found out beneath our popping curls.

Keepin' it real with inspirational conversations.
