Had such a blast chatting with Meghan Grace, Ed.D. on the #GenZ podcast! During the episode, we discussed what it means to be authentic at work, the impact of gender expectations, and the critical role of self-connection in organizational leadership. This conversation had me reflecting on a question I often ask during my workshops... “When was the first time you learned about gender?” A few years ago, I had a participant who had something big come up as he examined this question. He was a cisgender straight man, and he told me that when he was young he loved to make flower arrangements and bake. His mother had a beautiful garden he would slip flowers from and reflected fondly on getting to do this as an activity together. When he reached high school, however, something changed. His peers made fun of him for these activities. They called him some… not so nice names... leading him to question his masculinity, his gender and sexuality, and ultimately leading him to stop doing these things that he so genuinely enjoyed. As he recounted this experience to me, he realized how gender expectations and expectations of masculinity led him to disconnect from key aspects of himself. This is a common experience for folks of all gender identities. While many focus on how gender expectations impact trans and gender expansive folks, the reality is that these expectations impact everyone and can lead to us being severed from parts of ourselves that are critical to our authentic joy. We know that disconnection, whether from ourselves or others, can have a huge impact on how we show up in the world and how we show up at work. So how do we reconnect with ourselves when this severing has occurred? Take a listen to the latest episode of the #GenZ podcast where we dive into this exact question. This episode is available on all streaming platforms.  Once you take a listen, be sure to let me know what resonated with you and what it makes you consider around your own experiences of authenticity and self-connection.

Radiolab has always been one of my favorite podcasts to listen to (I think I have been listening to it now for over 10 years!). The latest episode, about the genesis and history of the idea of genetic origins of sexuality and sexual desire, and how it moulded and transformed the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and led to change in perceptions about LGBTQ+ people, was a thought-provoking listen. While the episode focuses on the origins, the tension, the acceptance, and finally the skepticism generated by this idea, I also found it fascinating, more broadly, to think about how ideas can have a life of their own, and how they evolve (and sometimes devolve) owing to who shares them, the context within which they emerge and disperse, and importantly, their role in shaping, directing and changing social movements and our perceptions and attitudes about wide range of subjects. Now ain't that fascinating stuff!
