Stereotypes Are Sabotage

The Movie, Barbie, is loaded with unifying themes about womanhood that will undoubtedly speak to you.  I chose the topic that resonated with me most deeply on the day that I watched the movie to talk about in this podcast episode, which is, do we really hear what women have to say?

Are women judged more harshly when they talk more than men?  According to research, there are incredible inequities related to how much men and women speak, and how they are perceived.  Join me as we tackle these challenging issues, and discuss practical strategies on how to combat them.

In Arthur Brooks’ latest book titled, “From Strength to Strength”, Arthur suggests that seeking “specialness” and achievement over the things that we know will bring us true satisfaction, like family and love, are the sources of many people’s dissatisfaction. It’s self-sabotage.  But so many of us do this to ourselves day in and day out. 

In this podcast episode, I wrestle with the tension of work life balance and the endless pursuit of achievement.  Let’s unpack the tangible, daily choices we are making about what we value, and how we are approaching living a happy life before it’s too late to make a change. The big question is: would you rather be special or happy?  

Ladies! Trust your guts!  Inspired by the book titled, The Female Brain, by Dr. Louann Brizendine, this episode of Underestimated with Julie Sands is devoted to understanding the innerworkings of how the brains of women are structured, and how they function. Women are not only intuitive, we can almost mid-read. It sounds bizarre, until the process we use to underestand others is explained in detail.  Women are hardwired to be communicative emotional barometers, we read the emotions of others exceptionally well BECAUSE of our biology and our neurology. This podcast is content-rich, but so so helpful. Listen and share with everyone you know so they can understand women better!

In this episode licensed family thereapist, Barbara Crump, joins us to discuss the impacts of INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA. We learn that the best way to understand our present is to understand our past, and that the lives that our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents lived really do still have an impact on the patterns and behaviors that we exhibit every day. 

During this holiday season let's recognize our heritage, and the patterns and behaviors instilled within us by our ancestors, as part of what has shaped us into who we are today. 

In this episode of "Underestimated with Julie Sands", special guest, Barbara Crump, licensed family therapist, shares about the stereotypes of mental health, tips and strategies on how to maintain mental health, the dangers of thinking about "us and "them", and the what to do with Narcicism and Toxicity.

Did you know that there are OVER 150 types of bias?  That's over 150 ways that we mis-interpret other human beings.

Biases are sneaky and they cause us to make mistakes, to mis-judge, mis-calculate, mis-perceive, and UNDERESTIMATE ourselves and others.

In this episode we will discuss an overview of the 5 Categories of bias, referred to as the SEEDS biases by the Neuroleadership Institute, so we can start spotting them in other people, and begin GETTING better, and exhibiting unfair bias LESS.

I’m focusing on perception bias this in this episode. Perception bias comes into play when we judge or treat others based on often inaccurate, overly simplistic,stereotypes and assumptions about the group they belong in.  It often involves other biases such as gender, age, and appearance, and many times results  in social exclusion, & discrimination.

Have you ever wondered why men seem to be getting further faster in the workplace than women?
Have you noticed that it seems like most people have a hard time finding strong women to be likable? Well you are not alone. This is actually really common , and there is now behavioral scientific evidence behind what causes most people (both men and women) not to like strong women that exhibit leadership qualities.

If you think that this script is unworkable and outdated, and needs to be flipped, join me as we discuss and debunk stereotypes and unconscious biases together.

We will uncover the science of unconscious biases, and we will also discuss strategies and practical applications on what we can do to disarm and dismantle these sneaky, unwanted unconscious biases and stereotypes that form within our brains without our permission.

There really is a better way, let’s find it together!
