Not Your Token Minority - Learning to take life slower with Bonnie Hu

Learning to take life slower with Bonnie Hu

10/17/21 • 47 min

Most of us are familiar with the busy-ness that life can bring and how easily we can get caught up in it. This was no less true for this episode's guest, Bonnie, who is a fellow podcaster and a business owner based in Auckland. This year for her, though, has been about slowing down and having more gratitude for the smaller things in life. We talk all about that mindfulness journey she's on, as well as the biggest lessons she's learnt as a small business owner and her love of sky diving.
Bonnie's podcast is called The Everyday Us and is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Play.

So you want to talk about racism?

Have you ever heard someone say: "Why is everything about race these days?" or "I can't joke about anything, everything is so PC"? If these comments make you uncomfortable, then this episode could be for you.
In this episode, Steph Tan - who was my wonderful guest in the previous episode - joins me again to break down comments that we most commonly hear and see when addressing race and racism. We look at why those comments can be damaging in the context of racism against people of Asian background and how someone might address them.
I don't intend this episode to be a complete, incontestable conversation - just what Steph and I currently understand of and have learnt about racism so far. There is still so much to learn and I'm always open to constructive and healthy discussions.

Gigi: Why being invited to the party isn’t enough

You've probably heard the terms "diversity and inclusion" (D&I) or "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI) thrown around a fair bit in more recent years. They have become indispensable parts of employee engagement and retention initiatives in workplaces - but not all DEI strategies are built the same.
I'm joined in this episode by Gigi Hui, an HR professional who is passionate about DEI and working with others to help them become their best selves. In our conversation, we look at the different layers of “leaning in”, especially when you’re not a straight white male; society’s obsession with extroverts and the implications of that in the workplace; and what true DEI looks like and how to avoid turning it into a “tick box” exercise.
Gigi mentions a TED Talk on "The myth of bringing your full authentic self to work" by Jodi-Ann Burey. You can watch it here.
