S3 E59: Season 3 Wrap up
with host Dr Jacqueline Kerr
Key Takeways
It was such an honor to interview the mothers in Season 3; authors and advocates like Katherine Goldstein, Eve Rodsky and Amy Beacom, DEI specialists like Ruchika Tulshyan and Mita Mallick, mental health experts like Farah Harris and Alison Butler, leadership experts like Laura Knights, Debbie Cohen, and Karen Tischler, new mother support experts like Christine Anastasia and Whitney Casares and burnout experts like Jen Moss and Sharon Grossman.
I learned about seeing yourself as a leader of multiple domains instead of being overwhelmed by too many roles. I learned about humanizing the workplace, I learned about the importance of job sharing to prevent burnout, and how organizations need to be flexible to meet employee needs.
I learned about the stages of burnout and going beyond mental health first aid. I learned that inclusion is when you plan the party, not just show up at an event not designed to make you feel welcome. I learned that advocacy works when lessons are shared, I learned that carving out time for a purpose was harder than it looked.
I learned that emotional intelligence is a survival tool for some, yet a thriving tool for others. I learned that women leaders have to unpack their own triggers and trauma first. And that focusing on healing is as important as nourishing others.
