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.

for 4 years siden24:25

24:25

This episode we talk about the Chinese money mindset. Simona's Wenzhounese approach to hoarding as much money as possible and Janet's parent's vision that money should be earned to be spent. We'll also cover the ridiculous "frugal" strategies of our parents, their ridiculous spending behaviour and how hoarding is part of being Asian. Let us know what you thought of this episode, what your own experiences are with Chinese money mindsets and if you have any requests for next episodes! ❤️💜💙💚From your Asian European Sisters…

6: Corona, yellow fever and racism 23:25

for 5 years siden23:25

23:25

We recorded this episode a couple of weeks ago when borders were still open and home quarantine was not a thing yet. Where Corona was still distant and not existent in Denmark and the Netherlands yet. We talk about how Corona has affected perception on us and how it changes our perceptions, racism in general in the Netherlands and Denmark and whether our partners have yellow fever ;). Since you're at home, give it a listen, some feedback and a shoutout when you actually listened. Much much love, stay safe, Janet and Simoma…

Episode 5: Asian beliefs and rituals 17:59

for 5 years siden17:59

17:59

We're back! In this episode, we talk about 4 Asian beliefs that frequently put questions marks too. Did your parents pull up your nose bridge to "naturally" boost while you were young? How about all the ladies who do not shower for a month and stay inside after giving birth? And is wet hair the cause to all our problems? Listen and find out what we were taught during our Asian upbringings in the West and let us know in the comments whether you have any cray cray sounding rituals in your family. Much love, Janet and Simona…

Episode 4: The 5 Languages of Love and how Asians justify gift-giving as NOT being materialistic.. 22:11

for 6 years siden22:11

22:11

Apologies for the corny (book) title BUT we were pleasantly surprised when we found out we tested EXACTLY the same when we took the "5 languages of love" test. It may be the fact we're telephatically connected, or that we are long lost sisters.. or just the simple fact that Asians growing up in Europe are not that different . Listen in to hear what our results were and how we think our Asian and Dutch/Western upbringing has influenced our beliefs about love & intimacy and why Asian parents don't tell their kids they love them, but will rather ask them whether they've eaten yet. Let us know how you tested and what you want to hear from us the next time! Link to the 5 Languages of Love test: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/…
