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.

Ep 57: A Wife and a Weapon (Zipporah) 1:15:55

17 weeks ago1:15:55

1:15:55

This may be one of our most important episodes yet. Today, we answer the questions: What do you do when your husband is unwilling, unable, or unavailable to be the spiritual leader of your household? What if you're single or divorced and don't have a man to be the "head of your house?" What authority do we have as women/wives to take the "spiritual reins" for our family? We'll look at the story of one amazing wife who literally spared her husband from death with an amazing act of faith, as well as touch on multiple stories of other women who stepped in when the situation demanded it. We hope this episode sets a lot of women (and men!) free. Bible Verses Referenced: Ephesians 5:22-33 Exodus 4:18-26 Genesis 17:9-14 Genesis 25:1-6 Judges 4 Judges 5:7 Joshua 2:12-13 Ruth 3:1-5 Ruth 2:6-7 1 Samuel 1:1-28 1 Samuel 25:14-35 2 Chronicles 34:22-28 Acts 16:11-15 1 Corinthians 16:19 Romans 16:3-5 Romans 16:7 Sisters with Swords is produced and edited by Holly Knight.
