Diverse Joy Podcast - Season 1, Episode 2

With special guest Sandy Eichel, we share our joy about gardening and working with kids. We discuss ways that stale notions of "professionalism" can stifle authenticity and increase marginalization. People are happier and more productive when they can authentically express themselves through their appearance. In other words, we celebrate Sartorial Joy!

We also share our perspectives on how to start diversity discussions in workplaces that aren't talking about diversity issues.

To develop our bias habit-breaking skills, we learn to watch out for Norm Enforcement as one way that biases play out.

Sandy's joyful recommendation is the fantastic TV show, Schitt's Creek.
