In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Ever feel like something is too risky, even when you’ve taken all the right precautions? Or maybe you hesitate to take a leap because it still feels uncertain? Today, we’re diving into the Peltzman Effect, a concept that explains how our perception of risk changes when safety measures are in place—and how we can actually use this to our advantage.

Feeling Aligned with Your Work 6:59

för 5 weeks sedan6:59

Have you ever had a job that should feel amazing, but something still feels off? Maybe it checks all the right boxes, yet deep down, you’re unfulfilled. In this episode, we’re exploring why some jobs look great on paper but don’t align with who we are. I’ll share a client’s story about transitioning to a job that seemed perfect but left her feeling disconnected and how she uncovered what was missing. I also talk about why gratitude can’t override misalignment, the fears that keep us from speaking up, and how you can start identifying the kind of work that truly lights you up. If something feels off for you right now, I encourage you to take a step back and ask: What parts of me feel most alive when I express them? Am I actually expressing them in my work? And if not, what would it look like to start? Ready to feel more aligned but need support? As a life coach, I help people like you uncover what’s holding them back and start creating a life and work they truly love.

Maybe You Never Learned to Dream 8:10

Today’s episode is all about dreaming big, and why it can be so challenging for some people to imagine a different way of living or working. For many of the women I coach, dreaming outside the framework they’ve followed for years can feel foreign. If you’ve spent most of your life checking boxes and following a well-laid-out path, the question, “What do I really want?” might not come naturally. But this doesn't mean that you lack creativity and are unable to dream. I truly think that dreaming big is a skill, and like any skill, you can strengthen it with practice! Questions to help you practice dreaming bigger Who inspires me, and what about their life or choices resonates with me? What would it look like to live a life that’s 1% bigger? What is one thing I’ve always been curious about but never pursued? If I could spend a day doing anything I wanted, no matter how impractical, what would it be? What’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit or live, and what about it excites me? What is one small, joyful thing I could do this week that would feel adventurous or new? When was the last time I felt truly alive and excited? What was I doing? What’s something I’ve told myself I can’t do but secretly want to try? What values do I want to align my life with more closely? What’s something I’d regret not trying if I reached the end of my life? Ready to dream bigger, but want some help? As a life coach, I help people like you uncover what’s holding them back and start imagining and creating a life they love.

What Are You Anticipating for the New Year? 6:23

för 10 weeks sedan6:23

6:23

Happy New Year! This week we’re diving into a question from one of my clients: "Is it possible to feel the Sunday Scaries in regards to an entire year?" And I think the answer is yes, especially if you're anticipating change in the future. But you don’t have to stay stuck there. Here are some ways to check in with yourself: Acknowledge how you’re feeling. Give it a story. Ask if it makes sense and if it’s helpful. Create space for yourself to feel those emotions with compassion. You’ve got options for supporting yourself as you move into this new year, no matter what it holds.

As we close out 2024, I want to share a powerful question that actress Jamie Lee Curtis lives by: "If not now, when?" This question holds so much wisdom for all of us. It can lead us to monumental changes, or show up in the smaller, everyday moments that shape our lives. Commit right now to making 2025 the year you go for it…even if you don’t feel ready. Because here’s the truth: You might never feel fully ready. But you can start anyway.

Close the Loops: Simple Actions to Ease Overwhelm 5:16

för 13 weeks sedan5:16

5:16

In this episode, I share a simple yet powerful suggestion I recently gave to one of my clients who was feeling stressed: close the loops you can. When life feels overwhelming, it’s not always about finding a huge, life-changing solution. Instead, it’s about identifying those small, lingering tasks that are within your control, and taking action on them. We’ll explore: How “open loops” can amplify stress. How closing even one or two loops can free up mental space. Practical examples of what this could look like in your life, from deciding on a gift to delaying a decision until you have more capacity. Big stress doesn’t always need a big solution—sometimes, it’s the small things that create the most relief. Take a few minutes today to identify and close 3-5 loops in your life and close them. It’s a simple step you can take to create more breathing room in your mind and ease the overwhelm.

What If This Was an Invitation, Not a Threat? 9:07

för 14 weeks sedan9:07

9:07

Today, I want to share a mindset shift that has been incredibly impactful for both me and my coaching clients: What if this was an invitation and not a threat? Inspired by insights from Martha Beck's The Way of Integrity , I’ll share how this mindset shift can help you open up in areas where you may be shutting down. When we can reframe threats as invitations, we create space to question if those things are really threats in the first place. And from that point of view, we can grow and align more fully with our values. And that’s where the magic happens.

A Question to Help You Through the Holidays 3:46

för 15 weeks sedan3:46

3:46

I hope you're all doing well! I'm doing a short episode this week because I'm officially on vacation. Wherever you are and whether or not you're in the midst of holidays, I want to leave you with a question this week that you can absolutely journal on. I actually find this question helpful to ask in the moment, especially when I'm feeling a little stressed or overwhelmed or irritated. Besides my thoughts, is everything okay? I think I got this question from the author James Clear, and I absolutely love it. More often than not, we're doing okay, and it's our perspective on what's happening that is creating our overall experience. And when we know that it's our thoughts or perspective creating our experience, we give ourselves a chance to make adjustments. And if you ask yourself that question and you find that the answer is NO, everything is NOT okay, you give yourself a chance to tend to your needs or ask for help. Thank you for listening and I'm sending you love where you are! Connect with Lynn Grogan: If you’re considering a major career or lifestyle change and want to talk to someone, I’m here for you!

Lessons Learned from Being Alone 17:04

för 16 weeks sedan17:04

17:04

When my husband goes out of town, I have a little tradition: I pick a show we wouldn’t normally watch together and plow through an entire season. This time, I chose the show Alone . I ended up loving it so much that I knew I had to bring it into today’s podcast episode. If you’re not familiar, Alone is a wilderness survival show where contestants are dropped into extreme conditions to see how long they can last. As I watched, my coach brain kicked in (as it always does!), and I started thinking: How does this apply to real life? Thankfully, most of us won’t ever face a wilderness survival scenario. But the challenges contestants face on Alone reveal some powerful lessons about resilience, adaptability, and mindset that we can learn from. In today’s episode, I’m sharing five key takeaways from Alone and showing you how to apply them to your own life: Energy Is Finite—Spend It Wisely : Focus your energy on what truly matters to you, and don’t waste it on things that drain you unnecessarily. Success Requires Both a Plan and Adaptability : Plan for the results you want, but be ready to pivot when life throws you a curveball. You Are So Much More Capable Than You Realize : Challenge yourself to push past your perceived limits—you might just surprise yourself. Mindset Matters : Your attitude can make all the difference. Practicing positivity can help you overcome even the toughest challenges. Keep the Big Picture in Mind and Allow Yourself to Change Your Mind : Life isn’t static. When your priorities shift, it’s okay to give yourself permission to change your mind.

Changing Your Mind is a Sign of Growth, Not Flakiness 10:09

för 17 weeks sedan10:09

10:09

Being able to make decisions and giving yourself permission to change your mind is essential if you want to transform your life. Without making intentional choices, you’ll often find yourself stuck in a cycle, experiencing the same things over and over again. If you’re happy with your life as it is, that’s amazing! But if something feels off, staying on autopilot can lead to years of feeling unfulfilled. True momentum comes when you take responsibility for your choices and decide to act. If you’re grappling with a decision that feels impossible to reverse, remember: most decisions aren’t permanent. Allow yourself the freedom to change your mind and create a life that aligns with your future dreams — not one shaped solely by past decisions.
