#100!! A Kryptonite Medallion

*Trigger warning: if you’ve recently lost a loved one, the first seven minutes might be challenging.*

In this episode, Sam and Annie come back after a month to reflect on the episode that never was — a recording fail, but also a raw, challenging conversation — and share their fresh takes on what it’s like to have open and honest conversations about gender. Sam also speaks directly to our male audience members. This concludes the man box season, the Fall season, the third year of Unraveling Pink, and takes us to episode 100. Enjoy!

#99 Building Team Through Coffee

In this episode, Annie talks with a long-time friend, Noah Lemas, about what increasing gender equality in the workplace feels like for a 50-ish white male, why he left the traditional workplace, and what the workplace lost when he left it. Enjoy!

#98 Sam Has An Epiphany

In this week’s episode, Sam and Annie try to untangle friendship – among men and among women – and dig deep into the past to understand why they see friendship as they do. In the process, Sam has an epiphany. This episode may take you down your own memory lane. Enjoy!

#97 Rub Some Emotional Dirt On It

In this episode, Sam and I start to explore how the man box shows up in leadership, but this launching point took us to an exploration of authenticity. Also, a confession by Sam, a recommendation, and a challenge.
Enjoy!

#96 Time For Some New Voices
