How can Black women leverage mentorship and sponsorship in white workplaces?Black women's advancement in Canadian workplaces is not guaranteed – in fact, it's often impeded by negative stereotyping and experiences that lead to burnout and “racial battle fatigue.” To find meaning and success, Black women can intentionally build goal-based networks, look outside the box for the right mentoring relationships, and seek sponsors who recognize rather than minimize their cultural capital. Within organizations, being an ally means valuing and supporting this work while recognizing the costs of inaction.On this episode of Just One Q, Dominique chats with Rochelle Ramathe, DEI strategist and author of Black Faces in White Spaces. They discuss the importance of mentorship and sponsorship for Black women. She emphasizes the difference between the two, and shares how to leverage both when navigating white-centric workspaces.Keep Up with Rochelle:https://www.rochellespeaks.info/Become a Learning Snippets Partner: https://dialectic.solutions/learning-snippets/become-a-partner/Try Learning Snippets:https://dialectic.solutions/signupContact Us to Be a Guest on Just One Q:https://dialectic.solutions/podcast-guest

Register TODAY for the Podcast Summit: https://podcastsummit.comWhen we grow and mature it's not happening because of the natural flow of life. This happens because we are in environments that cause us to want more. Think about when a baby sees other people walking around. That baby will start to mimic what's going on around them. The baby won't only try it... that baby will not stop until they can walk even though they've never done it before.When you intentionally allow yourself to be in an environment where something different and above what you are doing is is happening you will begin to move the same way. However, it does start with not only knowing about the environments but, be in them. You will grow according to what where and who you spend your most time with. So, what does your next level look like?

Lynsie McKeown helps us to understand the importance of tapping into all aspects of our being. In this episode, we talked about the difficulties caused by neglecting feminine energy and how focusing solely on masculine energies can lead to disempowerment, toxic behavior, and a lack of harmony in our minds, body, and spirit. By awakening our divine feminine energy, we can move to a place of higher consciousness and become more powerful in all areas of our life. We discussed how to nurture your feminine power through practices like yoga, meditation, and intuition. Lynsie takes us through a powerful exercise to cultivate self-compassion. Lynsie highlights three free factors of tapping into our divine feminine energy. These include: 1. Neglecting our innate feminine powers and predominantly following a masculine approach can lead to disempowerment and toxic behavior. 2. By awakening our other half, we can move from a place that is more powerful and from a higher level of consciousness, expanding our understanding and feeling more alive. 3. Nourishing the divine feminine can be done through various practices, including connecting to breath and the practice of cultivating compassion. Lynsie helps us to learn new ways of getting comfortable with ourselves and tapping into our inner knowledge even in challenging times in our lives.About the Guest:Lynsie McKeown is a Women's Spiritual Empowerment Coach, a Lineaged Yoga and Meditation Teacher, a certified Neuroencoding Specialist, a TedX Speaker, and a global live Radio Show Host of Women Thriving, Unapologetically on the world's leading live internet talk radio network, VoiceAmerica.

What does it mean to truly thrive? And to do so unapologetically? Modern culture teaches us to look externally for happiness and to seek end goals (continuous financial gain, career advancement, solid romantic relationships, a healthy and fit body, and a constant flow of prosperity) that prove we are thriving. However, thriving is not a fixed destination or can be measured in finite ways. It is an inner state of being that enables one to move through life in a peaceful, joyful and even abundant flow, regardless of external circumstances. In this episode of Women Thriving, Unapologetically Lynsie will guide you through 5 simple steps so you can experience your innate capacity to thrive.

Our culture is obsessed with weight. We often feel our weight is the problem. If only we weighed a certain number on the scale and fit into a particular size we would feel better. But what if weight and size were not the problems? Or even food? In this episode of Women Thriving, Unapologetically, Lynsie, and featured guest Kirsten Johansen sit down and dive into how our aversion to suffering leads to anesthetizing ourselves with food and other addictions. You'll discover the steps to take to answer your own call to be rescued and to cultivate unconditional positive regard for yourself so you experience the freedom of being human.

Pausing as a regular practice can look like different things in the context of modern life, and whether through breath, movement, creativity and/or stillness, we cultivate the experience of presence as a way to see inside and return to a sense of innate connection and possibility within our lives. Modern research in the field of neuroplasticity and mindfulness are revealing similar truths sourced in ancient wisdom traditions, specifically that how we are perceiving our reality dictates the quality of our experience of it. Today's guest, Amie Heeter, will talk about the ways to move beyond scattered, anxious, and fear driven mindsets with accessible and time tested methods relevant to these times.
