In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

In this second episode of Season 2, Karin explores the next shaping force on your inner "root system": individuals from your lived experience who have you have experienced as a "mentor"... or a "tor-mentor". The hyphen is deliberate! Both mentors and tor-mentors shape your perceptions and predictions on how you relate to yourself and others. They can also be sources of illumination for you. Greater awareness on the influence of these individuals provides you with deeper understanding and the ability to make more intentional choices on what you chose to carry forward.

Send us a text Words matter. Have you heard that before? Turns out, what we say and what we write is another shaping force on our inner 'root systems' that influence how we see ourselves, others, and the world. In episode 7 of season 2, Karin explores language through the lens of metaphor. We all use metaphors in our communication, and most of the time we don't even realize we're doing so. Common metaphors to describe events, experiences, or people that we learn or absorb through our lives actually have a powerful influence on how we see, filter, and relate to everyone and everything around us. Tune in to learn more about how these can support you -- or limit you.…

Send us a text Karin "zooms out" in this sixth episode of Season 2 to explore ways that culture of the country where you were born (and later, the countries in which you live) shape your inner "root system". Cultures of countries embody experiences, events, history, and stories as well as values and philosophies. Cultures of this sort influence in myriad ways; through what or who is celebrated and honored, to what or who is punished or ostracized, to what is focused on (or not) in media and advertising, to name a few. As we become more aware of the influences, we can better discern what we choose to reflect and embody as we live our life... and what we don't. Tune in to learn more.…

Institutions & Communities of Purpose 18:46

Send us a text Where you work. Where you went to school. Where you practice a faith. Where you volunteer. Companies or businesses, schools, places of worship, service organizations/non-profits, recreation leagues, musical groups -- to name a few -- are all kinds of institutions that Karin calls "communities of purpose". In this fifth episode of Season 2, Karin explores this shaping force on your inner "root system". Places we choose to associate with for a specific purpose (to learn, work, pray, give back, exercise, make art, create) and be a part of for a period of time influence our perspectives, beliefs, and "filters" on the world, sometimes in ways we don't realize. Tune in to learn more about how a diverse array of institutions in your past and present can shape how you are and how you relate to people, situations, and yourself.…

Send us a text In this fourth episode of Season 2, Karin explores another shaping force on your inner "root system": neighborhoods or what she calls "communities of place." The neighborhood that you grew up in has a material yet often implicit influence on the stories you carry and the default lenses you use. What you are exposed to, what you observe, what you absorb in those settings all shape perspectives for seeing the world... and seeing yourself and others in it. Tune in to learn more about how your immediate physical 'surround' can expand or limit your perspectives.... and possibilities.…

Send us a text In this third episode of Season 2, Karin explores the next shaping force on your inner "root system": your ancestors, or family lineage. While it may seem obvious that the family you grew up among has an influence on the lenses through which you see yourself and the world, you also hold within you the influence of ancestors you've never met. Science has demonstrated the validity of such psychological inheritance across generations through the field of epigenetics. Tune in to learn more about how you reflect the effects of the life experiences of those who came before you.…

Send us a text In episode 9 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky explores the concept of shifting… shifting how we are in the world and how we see ourselves. It is a propensity of the human mind to put ourselves and others in a box. We say to ourselves “This is who I am.” And yet, neuroscience research shows the lifelong ability of the brain to change (neuroplasticity); our biochemical makeup offers us a never expiring invitation to shift and change our ways of being and doing. So how do we begin? Tune in for some initial seeds on how to initiate a shift for yourself, and some considerations on the context to support it.…

Send us a text In episode 8 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky identifies an influential way to strengthen and deepen relationships across every aspect of our lives: rituals. Relationships do not follow the “set and forget” principle. For us to tap into the full potential of relationships and experience fulfillment from them, they need active cultivation and nurturing. Karin highlights two different types of “relational rituals” and the benefits they provide. She also offers a simple approach to keep these types of rituals relevant and engaging. Tune in to explore the idea of relational rituals and how you can cultivate those more intentionally in your own life.…

Send us a text In episode 7 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky raises an important requirement that many of us do not give sufficient attention to: rest. In societies conditioned around productivity and “keeping up” on the treadmill of life, it’s easy to feel like you’re swimming against the current for even considering it. Rest is more than the narrow view of sleep. While theoretically we know rest is good for us – for the health of our body, mind, and soul - it is typically not a consistent practice. Sometimes the hurdle to rest is simply giving ourselves permission to do so. Tune in to explore resistance to rest and a fuller view of what rest means, and why the gift of it to yourself matters.…

Send us a text In episode 6 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky asks us to consider those moments where we look at our life and wonder to ourselves: how did I get here? Is this it? It’s easy to shift into autopilot during the rhythm of life – our brains are great accomplices in supporting that! Our time, attention, and energy is often consumed within a narrow idea of life’s possibilities. But a richer, more diverse vision life is available to us – if we’re intentional about designing and cultivating it. Tune in to learn about how to think about your life like a garden, and how this approach can lead to greater fulfillment.…

Send us a text In episode 5 of Klarity, Karin Stawarky focuses on a fundamental relational ‘glue’: trust. Trust is a building block for any relationship and is as dynamic as the relationship itself. The deepening of trust can create the conditions for powerful connections with other humans; its erosion creates distance and disengagement. Insights on the factors that influence the presence or absence of trust offer new perspectives into why relationships in your life may not be as gratifying as you’d like. Tune in to learn about what you can do to foster trust in your most important relationships.…
