Last time we spoke, Nina Y said she was stepping away from the conversations around d ei for her own mental health. She now says there's more eyes on it, but i don't think that we're seeing the change that we may be wanted to, or need to. 'The system wasn't set up for someone like me to be a manager,' she adds. "I wasn't meant to be in this position"
Just like 2020, this past year didn’t turn out like we expected. And, yet, we got through it. In this episode, we reconnect with three women who were on our show during the height of the pandemic to find out what they’ve been up to and how they’re making sense of the big shifts in society, our workplaces, and our lives. The questions they’re asking themselves are important ones: Is the path I’m on the right one? What does a “healthy and happy me at work” look like?
We discuss the value of self-reflection, why we’ve generally been putting it off, and the introspection that the death of a family member brings about. The Amys reflect on two recent losses, how they managed grief and work, and the lessons they took away from those experiences.
