Women have long been made to choose between starting a family or pursuing a career. Dr. Chi Viet believes women can have both a fulfilling family life and a successful career.

I'm honored to say Chi is also a friend, and can personally attest to what a dynamo she is.

In this episode, she dispels myths and shows how much one can achieve when they are passionate about their work.

We also discuss her origin story, why it's important to own the different parts of yourself, and why "having it all" empowers not only other females but also the generations to come.

Episode Highlights:

• Dr. Viet's unique upbringing having two hard-working parents
• Childhood challenges she faced as an immigrant from Vietnam
• The pros and cons of growing up with extended family
• The struggles of being a sheltered introvert
• The importance of looking back to the past in a positive light
• Values she learned from her career-focused mom and dad
• How some women lose a part of themselves during motherhood
• Why it's not selfish to focus on a career while having a family
• Schooling and training involved in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• The percentage of women in training and practice in Head and Neck Surgery
• The advice she would give to women who want to pursue a career in her field

Given that we're in the midst of a world pandemic, I'd like to remind you to practice good mask wear, social distancing when appropriate, and good hand hygiene. As a physician I'm constantly washing my hands and applying sanitizer when soap and water aren't available. I was thrilled to discover ESAS Beauty's Moisturizing Rinse-Free Hand Cleanser which exceeds the recommended percentage of ethyl alcohol for effectiveness but adds the amazing sense of organic essential oils, moisture retaining hyaluronic acid and anti aging benefits. I appreciate the support ESAS Beauty is providing to the 6% with Nancy MD podcast as a sponsor and for bringing a little olfactory joy to my day!

In this episode, I'm joined by Jenny Chong. Jenny is a mother, mentor, and a female leader. She is the Head of Innovation for the FinTech startup KogoPAY. I wanted to talk to Jenny because there's a phenomenally small number of females working in the technology and investment banking space.

• Dealing with imposter syndrome as a successful woman
• Why women feel more imposter syndrome than men
• The biggest hurdles of her life and work
• Why it's never too late to pivot in your career choice
• Advice she would give a woman who wants to work in her field

There is an unconscious and inherent bias against women that exists in our society that results in women getting passed over for opportunities and advancements on simply the basis of gender.

In this episode, I'm joined by Angeline Deluca. She is a power generation technician at a major diesel engine and power systems manufacturer. After completing a two-year tech program, she entered the Cummins Engine Program where she graduated with a 4.0, being the top-scoring student in 14 of her classes, and obtained the sought-after Roger Penske Student of the Year scholarship.

I had to admit that when I was introduced to Angeline as a possible guest for The 6%, the field of mechanics hadn't even crossed my mind. This is exactly what makes her perfect for this show.

We talk about her motivations and challenges, encounters she's had with contemptuous customers and coworkers, how she's able to push through and rise from trials, what she would say to young women who aspire to be in her field, and many more.

If you want to catch Angeline, she will be in one of her favorite events in her now-homeland Oregon at the Oregon Tradeswomen's Career Fair. The second day is open to the public. Angeline will be there to teach how to work with engines together with other women in working in carpentry, electrical, roofing, and etc. More information about the fair can be found here.

Episode Highlights:

• Angeline's childhood and upbringing
• What inspired her to pursue this profession
• Her father's initial reaction to her career choice
• People who supported her ambition growing up
• How she handles sexist feedback from customers
• Her internal and external approach to dismissive coworkers
• How she controls her anger and frustration
• The different certifications and levels for mechanics
• The mentors and cheerleaders in her journey
• Why women need both male and female allies and advocates
• The importance of He-ForShe movement in male-dominated arenas
• What keeps her going despite the challenges
• Confidence and passion: Angeline's recipe for success
• The value of having outlets for anger
• Why doing what you love is worth all the trials
• How earning your accomplishments makes you more resilient
• Countless harassment she experienced in school
• Stories about coworkers who didn't want her in the job
• Her relocation and how she's happier where she works now
• Her public speaking opportunities
• Advice she would give to women who want to get in her field

About the guest:

Angeline Deluca is a generator technician at Cummins Sales and Service in Portland Oregon.

She acquired her Associate's degree in Diesel Mechanics Technology from the Universal Technical Institute of Arizone Inc.

She's also completed the Ford Accelerated Training program along with the Cummins Engines program where she was an Awarded Student of the Course in 14 courses.

Aside from her mechanic background, she's also done some public speaking and mentoring in the past, being present on podcasts and sharing with audiences what it's like being in the field.

Angeline's path wasn't an easy one but it was worth it.

From the beginning, she faced objection by some members of her family upon opening up about her career choice.

She's also met so many employers, clients, classmates, and workmates who were against having a woman working with them.

In spite of all of these, she's able to continue doing what she loves with the help of her loved ones, solid supporters and her confidence and belief in her own skills.

Now, Angeline educates other women interested in her field. She imparts her knowledge and wisdom in her passion and urges them to not give up because the prize awaits them.

Young women who step into male-dominated careers rarely find female mentors to look up to. So it's hard to know - do you need a thick skin? Do you need to suppress aspects of their femininity, to succeed?

In this episode, I'm joined by Tanya Hall, CEO of the Greenleaf Book Group. She shares how she has navigated her field and ascended to the top without shedding parts of herself as a woman. She lives the example of being an individual who values her emotions and connects with her feminine parts.

We delve into her childhood, her move from Los Angeles to Austin, Texas, her experience with other women in her field, and why accepting and using your feminine strengths can help you accomplish great feats.

Episode Highlights:

• Tanya's upbringing as a middle child
• Her parents' traditional relationship dynamics
• How she and her sister rebelled against stereotypical gender roles
• The lack of female mentors growing up
• How some women feel competitive toward other women
• How Tanya pivoted from a career in television into publishing
• Gender balance in media and how the powerful women there inspired her
• Why women are great at storytelling
• Unlearning the idea that women are less valuable than men
• How Tanya rose from distribution manager to CEO
• Why working with a sense of purpose creates job satisfaction
• What a hybrid publisher is and its numerous benefits

• How being a single mom added to her work stress
• Flow: The key to career and family balance

About the guest:

Tanya lives in Austin, Texas with her two daughters and three big dogs. She and the girls have developed a tight-knit bond, being proud and supportive of each other.

Initially from LA, she moved to Austin Texas because was impressed with its diverse and accepting culture. She found it a great place to raise her daughters. It was only after moving in that she realized that she needed to find a job. She then found an opening for a distribution manager in Greenleaf Book Group. Telling herself she'll find a better paying job as soon as they become settled, she started her career within the company.

But pretty soon, she found herself loving her work. Although her tasks started out as primarily listing books in different databases, the part where she worked with authors sparked a fire in her. She fell in love with how passionate they were. Knowing that she had a huge impact on making their ideas happen, gave her a strong sense of purpose.

Fast forward many years later, she's now the CEO of the company. Her discovery that she has a knack for launching and branding authors and the fact that she is an awesome builder played a fundamental role to her rise in ranks.

She also learned to work with, instead of fight against, her individuality. She loves to write, think, and analyze during mornings and becomes more verbal during the afternoons. Her staff and her daughters are well aware that when inspiration strikes her, she will not hesitate to write it down and act on it even if it's past office hours.
