Many moons ago, "Defiance" was the name and location of a pivotal "Scandal" episode to seal the U.S. Presidency on primetime tv. In this episode, airing on Election Day, the hosts ponder the systems that make up the fundamental pain points of our existence as Americans -- the prevalence of invisible labor, return to work woes, parenting, and disability.

This week the Drs discuss the ongoing uncertainty of corporate and government DEI programs, the hypocrisy present in claims of free speech (for whom, exactly?), and how equity and inclusion are lenses through which we should address weather disaster preparation and evacuation.

Our frustration with American journalism and news media continues as we share some new language, address the fragility of women's progress in the workplace, and Finland's war against fake news.

This week, Drs. Gold and Ingarfield discuss proactive social justice, the death penalty, and how the righteous indignation and political optics of some can derail legitimate efforts to make amends for past wrongs.

This week, the Drs ponder at what point watching movie or television dramatizations of people’s struggles or experiences of violence becomes exploitative. Dr. Lisa shares her frustration with the poor job news media is doing suffocating the many lies told on the campaign trail by one particular presidential candidate and the pair end with reflections on whether knowing a person’s race gives context to behavior and at what point this can tip into racism and stereotype.

Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa quickly whiplash from funny to not funny in this week's episode. A satirical mockumentary attempting to discredit DEI, Tyreek Hill's unfortunately familiar police stop, and the public health risks of social media are priorities in this week's conversation.

In the U.S. context, the systems 'stay winning'! To live in community (for good or for bad), folks must function within these systems. But what happens when systems go unchecked and unimproved for years? Individuals who do not thrive within these unchecked and unchanged systems are victim-blamed for the dysfunction. In this week's podcast, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa address systems like workplace mandates, the business of health care, and lack of support for mothers.

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa look at how certainty can derail dialogue, why and whether someone should give up their airline seat, and what’s up with the fact checkers?

Only listeners of a certain age will remember the medical sitcom from the late 80s/early 90s where Dr. Howser was a teenage physician. (You read that right; a child prodigy turned surgeon.) If it was hard for you to process the thought of someone so young seeing patients, you may be showing signs of ageism -- as we all have.

For the very first episode of September, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna (both as resident Gen Xers) speak to the topics of family relationships, the 'right to disconnect' from work, and being 'enough' of any identity group. We see holes as big as Swiss cheese in many of these arguments, so listen in.

There's nothing like speaking from experience. This week, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna think through some "a ha" moments from consulting experiences and work they’ve done in the field with clients and in professional settings. 

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa focus on reframing. What can a well-placed reframe do and how can it help us think differently about the world? From sexual harassment in the workplace to the Olympics to politics, there is always a benefit to thinking about something from a different angle.

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa take on Covid and the Olympics, Hurricane Debby, and revisit the origins of “imposter syndrome.” There is a lot going on right now, so keep those DEI antennas at the ready!

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa take on identity – what does it mean and when does it tip over into labeling. How can cultural humility and honoring other cultural identities and traditions help us grow as humans? The team finishes up with some identity observations from the Olympics.

In this week's podcast, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna discuss President Biden’s decision to step aside after one term and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

For those who are long-time listeners to the [un]phased podcast, before we became [un]edited, you will remember we had discussions about DEI deeply rooted in triathlon and the endurance sport world. The Paris 2024 Olympics Special is a return to our comfort zone talking about all things sport, including a final plea for a platform to pick Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna up as commentators.

In our first podcast back from our world travels, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna return to the U.S. irritated and frustrated. Don't worry -- and don't tone police them. (See what we did there?) This week shines a light on tough issues that require complex solutions. Listen in!

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa talk about ERGs in the workplace and how we can engage in allyship or resist it. And why would an annual Self Care Day on our calendars really do anything to move the needle on workplace cultures?

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa talk return to nostalgia for bygone eras that were not equitable for all and how systems are constantly working in the background to reinforce U.S. cultural values that maintain hierarchies of who / what is worthy of support and who / what is not.

This week, Dr. Shaunna and Dr. Lisa discuss the ways in which work is harmful to Black women, how data is rarely collected on marginalized people, and how these realities are symptoms of a larger sickness in society.
