Who Are You Bringing to Work?

Visible Women Podcast

In this first episode of the (In)Visible Women Podcast, we invite a guest, Dr. Loretta L.C. Brady, Ph.D. is a Professor of Psychology at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH. She is the founder of BDS Insight and creator of Bad Ass & Bold. A Psychologist, Entrepreneur, Mom, Professor, constant striver. She joins us to discuss what it means to be authentic and resilient at work. We talk about authentic as the ability to show up as your full, intact self at work, and ask Dr. Brady to share how the authenticity dynamics may be different for people from different, ethnic, cultural or socioeconomic backgrounds who may communicate differently or use different languages for different situations. We highlight what it means to be visually authenticity, and the ways Millennial and Gen-Zers have been conduits for change in workplace practices, standards and policies related to women of color's beauty visibility. We discuss resilience in the context of women of color, and how weathering storms and absorbing the bumps of life foster a navigation system which can prove to be an effective workplace asset. Finally, we discuss the importance of being honest about what we're experiencing in the workplace, accessing sources of support, and ally-ship critical to navigating the turbulent political waters that can come up at the workplace.
