Episode notes

Seaton: I hear that white women don't know that's the issue. And i think learning at that, first you have to learn that that's the case, im right? And then you have to kind of figure out how to listen and how to take that perspective," she says. "We need our voices to be heard"

As leaders, we know we’re supposed to be authentic, but for women, that can be tricky. For one thing, it can be hard to even know what our “true selves” want with all the demands competing for our attention. For another, there are different expectations about how women should look, and behave. In this episode, we talk with an expert on authenticity, as well as a woman trying everyday to bring her best self to work and help others do the same. Guests: Tina Opie and Candice Morgan. Our theme music is Matt Hill’s “City in Motion,” provided by Audio Network.
