You Are More Than Your Title
Have you ever felt not good enough? Not smart enough? Not… ENOUGH? That’s called imposter syndrome, and way too many of us are living with it. Imposter syndrome is when, despite our many accomplishments, our wall of degrees, and our career success, we believe that we are inadequate.Living with imposter syndrome can be absolutely crippling, especially when it comes to the work of equity and inclusion. We can reduce ourselves to seeing our work as just… and I don’t mean fair, I mean we see ourselves as JUST a Mom, JUST a teacher, JUST a business person. This mindset of “just” lets us settle for less than and allows us to believe that we can only make small changes because we are JUST one person.On today’s episode, I’m here to tell you that is NOT the case. Being just one person can make a whole lot of difference - you just have to believe in yourself. I’ll also be covering the history of Juneteenth, talking about the importance of perseverance when it comes to accomplishing seemingly impossible tasks, and hooking you up with 13 questions designed to help you build bridges, make connections, and get to know friends, and family, coworkers, and strangers better as you reflect on your work in diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Equity In Action: Where are we NOT practicing intentional inclusivity
Sometimes there are people in our lives who we will never forget because they CHANGE us. If you’re an educator or someone whose work directly services others, you know this better than most. On today’s episode, I’m sharing how my experience with one outstanding student had a profound impact on my style as a leader then and continues to influence me in the present. I’ll also be covering the importance of understanding the depth of your impact as a leader. As a company or school leader, you’ve got to make big decisions; often with those big decisions comes big responsibility. We’ll be talking all about how to make decisions that honor your quest for inclusivity and push back on the status quo that tells you you’ve got to maintain control and dominate every situation.Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss:🔑Step back and determine: What is working and what isn’t? When it comes to being a leader, checking in with yourself and your initiatives, goals, and progress (or lack thereof) is integral to your progress and growth. If you’re feeling a little stuck and ineffective, take stock of what you’re doing that is working WELL and what isn’t. Make changes from there! 🔑Identify where you are NOT practicing intentional inclusivity and change it. This is a big one, and it requires a big amount of work. If you’re not sure where to begin when it comes to identifying where you’re not being intentional with your inclusivity take a look at national statistics and identify where women and people of color are most excluded, marginalized, and straight-up silenced. Then, be intentional about fighting back against that.🔑Let go of practices and habits that don’t serve your mission, vision, or values. Are you struggling to identify exactly WHAT is holding you back from being your very best? Be intentional about your intentionality. That’s right people, journal, reflect, make time where it needs to be made, and understand that the work you do is IMPORTANT. --------------------------Don't miss out on future episodes!

Empowered Decisions: Freeing Yourself from the Guilt of Feeling Directionless
Happy June! It’s officially the start of the summer and an amazing time to reflect on the past season of life. So often seasons of life - whether they align with the ACTUAL seasons of the year or not - align with major changes. And major changes come with big decisions… and big decisions can come with a lot of pressure. It’s alllll connected. Sometimes the pressure to make a decision - one that will impact you, your family, or those you work with, can feel so overwhelming that you feel frozen and are unable to do anything. We’ve all been there. On today’s episode, we’re talking all about how to make decisions that will help you move forward and continue to make progress in your life so you feel empowered and confident.Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss:🔑Healthy guilt is good guilt! That’s right people, the pressure you feel to make solid and empowered decisions is a good thing. However, good guilt is a slippery slope and can quickly turn into shame if you don’t keep it in check. Allow your guilt to be a motivating factor and not something that allows you to spiral into despair or harsh self-judgment. 🔑Follow up on your feelings. Here’s the newsflash of a lifetime: feelings are not facts - no matter how much we think they are! It is important to identify the FACTS of your situation before you move forward so you can make a solid decision. 🔑Make a decision! One decision can mean big changes. If you’re feeling stuck in your career or personal life take stock of what is really holding you back and identify ONE thing you can make a decision about. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be surprised how much progress you being to make!--------------------------Don't miss out on future episodes!

The Art of Sustaining Change: New Year's Resolutions and Beyond
On this episode of the Cheers to Your Pivot podcast, Dr. Taryn Fletcher delves into the art of sustaining change! We start off focusing on the reasons why, in many cases, people set New Year's goals...and then let them go. Dr. Taryn also shares eye-opening statistics about the success rate of resolutions, offering insightful reasons for this phenomenon; and provides actionable steps to ensure that your goals stay on track throughout the year. Tune in to discover how to sustain long-lasting change and prioritize well-being! ✨ Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss: 1️⃣ Intention over tradition: Many resolutions are made out of the customary thing to do rather than a genuine desire for personal and professional changes. To sustain change, it requires evaluating what's working, adapting, and being flexible in approaches and perspectives. 2️⃣ Internal motivation to drive change: Transitioning into a new year does not automatically bring motivation and commitment. It's more about daily activity, reflecting, and evaluating the factors that influence thoughts and behaviors to create momentum and confidence for change. 3️⃣ Connect to your goals: Many resolutions are set without a genuine connection to personal and professional values. It's important to regularly check in with oneself, adapt to schedule changes, and make adjustments to remain connected to the goals.

Tune in to this week's episode to hear five challenges to help you step out of your comfort zone this week! Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss: 1️⃣ Daring discomfort is about challenging ourselves and our routine ways of being. It requires us to step out of our comfort zones, try new things, have tough conversations, and take on difficult tasks. By doing so, we gain confidence, learn new skills, and develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 2️⃣ Understanding how we fit into the world and paying attention to how others fit in is essential for growth and creating inclusive spaces. This especially applies to those in positions of power, such as educators and leaders, who need to confront their own biases and ensure that their programs and spaces embrace historical excluded groups and promote belonging. 3️⃣ The challenge for this week is to dare discomfort by volunteering, resolving a conflict, engaging in self-reflection, seeking feedback from a trusted colleague, or investing in professional learning. These actions push us out of our comfort zones and help us develop self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to navigate diverse environments.

The Power of Decisive Declaration in Life and Leadership
In this week's episode, we continue our dive into the Cheers to Your Pivot framework. Join our host Dr. Taryn Fletcher as we explore the 7 critical criteria for decisively declaring your goals and aspirations that will lead you to doing work that truly matters. When you have the clarity and confidence to declare what you want, the universe responds in ways you might not have expected! Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss: 1️⃣ Clarify: Take the time to define and articulate what you really want. Don't let self-doubt or societal expectations hold you back from acknowledging your desires. Remember, you deserve to pursue your goals! 2️⃣ Ownership: You are the sole owner of your desires and aspirations. Don't rely on external forces or let others define what you should want. Pressure test your own wants and take ownership of your path towards fulfillment. 3️⃣ Move forward fearlessly: Decisively declaring what you want opens doors of opportunity. Embrace the unknown, let go of what no longer serves you, and pursue what truly lights you up. Your journey towards doing work that matters starts with bold decisions.
