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.

Shining a Light on Australia’s Housing Crisis and Givit’s Impact on Families in Need As the festive season approaches, many are preparing to celebrate, but for countless families in Australia, the Housing Crisis casts a heavy shadow. In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Danielle Draper, manager of Givit’s Domestic and Family Violence program, to explore the profound challenges facing single mums and their children. Danielle shares how Givit, a not-for-profit organisation, transforms lives by connecting families in need with essential items—fostering dignity and respect. From helping a mum transition out of refuge with a bed and fridge voucher to delivering nearly 1 million items over four years, Givit’s impact is extraordinary. We delve into the long-term reliance on transitional housing and the emotional toll it takes, especially during the holidays. Danielle also highlights how donors can provide thoughtful contributions, like bicycles that bring joy and connection or Christmas gifts for overlooked tweens and teens. Discover how Givit bridges the gap between generosity and need, ensuring families receive exactly what they require, and learn how you can be part of this inspiring mission.

How giving to charity at Christmas can really help your kids 42:10

πριν 3 years42:10

We can hardly be blamed for getting caught up in consumerism at Christmas. It is everywhere! We are constantly encouraged to buy more, to eat more, and to keep up with everyone around us. Quite frankly, it's exhausting. Are you ready to pull in the reigns this Christmas and to offer a little of what you have to those in desperate need? Christmas is a time to accept our place on the globe, to practice gratitude for all we have and to help our children understand how and why to give to charity. If I've not convinced you, then Noddy Sharma from World Vision certainly will. He explains how donating is so much more than a simple act of giving. It will educate your kids, help them to see the bigger picture of the world around them and instil wonderful values that they will hold in their hearts forever, and maybe even pass down to their own children. How giving to charity at Christmas can really help your kids Listen to Noddy and I discuss: Why it's so flippin' hard not to get caught up in consumerism at Christmas and ultimately overspend How to ignite an enthusiasm in our kids to be charitable Some of the really cool ways for you and your kids to donate through World Vision How much of what you donate reaches the right place (I know this is something you'll be wondering!) The message it give our kids if they see us donating at Christmas How to make our kids aware of disasters/crisis situations around the world ... without terrifying them For more podcasts like this and heaps of other free single mum resources head to the Beanstalk Mums website.…

I honestly don't believe there is a parent alive who doesn't struggle at times. How can we not? There are no hard and fast rules for parenting. No guide to follow, or exams to pass. Yes, parenting is a mission of trying your best and sometimes winning but sometimes not. All the while learning but constantly evolving because no two days and no two kids are the same. Fun heh? In this podcast I chat to the Managing Director of Parentline , Kimberley Harper, about getting the support you need and deserve in your parenthood journey. And, even better, getting it for free. So have a listen and learn ways to make parenting easier, calmer and happier for everyone in the family. Kimberley and I talk about: Understanding that parenting is bloody hard and it's ok to reach for support The biggest parenting struggles for mothers (hint: overwhelm is one of them) How getting support and talking through your parenting problems can seriously help Advice specifically for single mothers who are dealing with financial pressures and the stress of co-parenting Daily and ongoing parenting practices which will help you to not only survive but to thrive in your role as mum For more podcasts like this and heaps of other free single mum resources head to the Beanstalk Mums website.…

Christmas can be a particularly hard time for many single mothers. We feel pressured to create a picture-perfect Christmas for our kids, complete with stereotypical family and presents galore.

Why separating without lawyers is definitely a thing 1:05:27

πριν 3 years1:05:27

1:05:27

It is a myth that you need to hire lawyers to separate and divorce. You don't. Property settlement is essentially a financial exercise that a lot of separating couples can work through together with the support of an expert. Which is where Belinda from Divide comes in. Belinda works with separating couples throughout Australia to help you financially separate and have your orders approved by the family court, without using lawyers. The end result is a more amicable split which will encourage a healthier co-parenting relationship and leave more money for you both to begin your new lives. Not only this, Belinda is a whizz at tax and super in a financial split so her advice will pay-off now and way into the future. Or, to put it another way, nothing will come back and bite you on bum further down the track. Sounds good? Find out more in this podcast. Listen to Belinda and I discuss: Which kind of cases would or would not require the services of a family lawyer Options available to separating couples if they don't want to hire lawyers The benefits of choosing the "no lawyer" pathway (there are heaps!)
