In this epic I'm pleased to share the awesome journey of Charlene Hunter, a British woman of Jamaican heritage who is engendering change in the tech industry. She is an awarded and experienced woman in tech who has now co-created a global community of over 10,000 members.

Too often when we talk about issues that affect women in the workplace it sounds like concepts that belong in a textbook, or something that previous generations had to deal with when the reality is many of us (yes, I said us) perpetuate these same biases even today.

In this epic I dive into one of the top challenges women face when it comes to diversity. It's unconscious bias! I seek to demystify unconscious bias and help you identify possible scenarios that you can relate to. I also share some examples of my experiences.

Highlights

There are three types of unconscious bias that we explore in this episode. Here's some insight on them:

Stereotyping

Women are often stereotyped as emotional or irrational, which can lead to their ideas being dismissed or undervalued in the workplace. Research shows that gender bias is a key reason why women are underrepresented in leadership roles.

Microaggression

Microaggressions are subtle but hurtful actions or comments that can be based on unconscious biases, such as being talked over or interrupted in a meeting, or dealing with mansplaining from a male colleague.

Unequal Treatment

This shows up as a lack of diversity in the workplace, being paid less than male colleagues for the same work, or being passed over for promotions in favor of less qualified male candidates.

I put my hand up as someone who sometimes struggles with perfection paralysis. Between that and doing several things at the same time, I am always seeking out or attracting coaches who have solutions to these types of habits. I was thrilled to have Camille as a guest on the show, without even knowing that we were going to touch on these exact challenges that many female entrepreneurs experience.

Some of the key takeaways from this talk really resonated with me. My top two:

• Lean into the urge to try something new when its aligns with your passion
• Take messy action!

You'll have to listen to the epic to hear more about them, but trust me, it's a good one!

Camille became a coach out of her own experience with weight fluctuation and feeling dissatisfied with her ability to find her happy health zone. As she unraveled this for herself and gained an understanding that many women have the same challenges, she embarked on her journey as a certified nutrition coach. Recently she expanded her business to also include supporting other women in her field who need support with their graphic design and systems setup.

I have developed this formula that I use in my coaching programs to help women create success without stress in 30 days or less. It's simple and easy but often taken for granted behaviors that can change your life and lower your stress levels.

Knowledge

Know What You Want…

• Instead of what you don't want or what you aren't getting

Self Awareness - knowledge of self is the best way to defeat imposter syndrome

• Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses

• Embracing your authentic self

• Seeking feedback

• Challenging negative self-talk

Energy

The resource that we underutilize! There is so much we don't know about energy because most of us don't pay attention to our energy. Here are a few ways in which managing your energy can contribute to your success:

• Improving productivity

• Reducing stress

• Enhancing creativity

• Improving decision-making

• Increasing motivation

Epic Execution

Clarity of purpose; Attention to detail; Adaptability; Persistence; Teamwork; Continuous improvement; Accountability.. These are all the traits of someone operating in an extraordinary way. This is very difficult to sustain without knowing and using the mindfulness tools that are available to support you.

Have you ever considered that you may actually be addicted to stress? That underneath all the complaining about being busy and feelings of frustration about always being pulled in multiple directions gives you a high like no other? Stacey shares some of the behaviours that may be early indicators that you are developing a stress addiction.

Stress can be a motivating factor for some people, and it can give us a sense of purpose or drive in our daily lives. However, prolonged exposure to stress can lead to negative consequences for our physical and mental health.

There are scientific reasons why you may feel addicted to stress. When we experience stress, our body releases cortisol, a hormone that prepares us for a "fight or flight" response. This can make us feel more alert, focused, and energized. Over time, our brain can start to associate stress with these positive feelings and may seek out situations that cause stress as a way to replicate those feelings.

However, chronic stress can also lead to negative physical and mental health outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, and burnout. It's important to find a healthy balance between stress and relaxation to maintain our overall well-being.

There are ways to break the cycle of addiction to stress. One strategy is to identify the sources of stress in your life and make a plan to manage them more effectively. This may involve setting boundaries, delegating tasks, or seeking support from others. Additionally, engaging in activities that promote relaxation, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies, can help to counteract the effects of stress.

I found out that I have chronic period pains and WOW I felt free! Women have been taught that having period pain is normal and that the medication prescribed is the best way to deal with it. Well in this epic episode I am so excited to bust up these myths with my guest Lux Perry, co-founder and CEO of Somedays - a period wellness company that supports people that have periods.

Many women suffer through the pain and shame of having a period every month. Some don't ever discuss it and wear masks through excruciating pain or mishaps at the office. It doesn't have to be this way… listen in to hear more.

I've been getting lots of questions about managing anxiety at work and effectively managing relationships at all levels. I also get asked about handling challenges with conflict in the bedroom and finding time to access bliss. In this Epic I revisit the conversation that started season 3 of the podcast with our certified leadership development and energy mastery coach. I talked with Marlon about the three guests who used the catastrophe or conflict they experienced as catalysts for their greatness. She also compares this to things in her life that she struggled with that could have derailed her also but instead set her up for Epic success.

With Coach Marlon, Stacey vulnerably shares her most current anxiety challenges by taking the couch to discover what shifts she needs to make so she can let go and access peace of mind.

Meet the second-generation Jamaican-American boss lady that serves as the STEM/STEAM Coordinator at South Atlanta High School all while owning and operating Twelve12 Group: a company consisting of connected brands that include short/mid term rentals and consulting.

After working as a Corporate Account Marketer, Andrea began her 18 year education tenure and has since served as a secondary Mathematics and Social Studies teacher and Instructional Coach of all subjects and grade levels.

Andrea realized that there is a significant gap between the current K-12 education experience and the experiences required to adequately prepare students for a STEM-centered workforce.

She saw a way where she could help to close this gap by providing K-12 schools/districts, for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations with solutions and strategies that address these challenges; and from that initiative Twelve12 Group was born!

Twelve12 Consulting specifically helps organizations to provide quality STEM/STEAM programming for historically underrepresented groups with specialized interest in students who identify as Black and/or LatinX and those in the Caribbean Diaspora.
