social stigmas

As a business owner, sometimes it can be hard to manage our own expectations, the opinions of others and the internal stigmas we create for ourselves. In this episode, I'm joined by Katy Murray, who's a photographer, podcast host, and mom. All the while balancing a full-time career.  Katy shares her experience of how she handled the expectations from both herself and those around her, as well as the steps she took to make sure that her business was a success.

She also chats about her experience of managing failure and mistakes throughout her journey, and how it's important to not let this define you. So if you're feeling a little overwhelmed trying to balance all the things,  then this episode is definitely for you!

In this episode, we cover:

• Katy's personal journey of becoming a business owner
• What stigmas and stereotypes in the business world looks like 
• How to combat negative feelings of being judged 
• Ways to encourage ourselves as female entrepreneurs 
• Tips for balancing the demands of being a small business owner with other responsibilities 
• How to give yourself grace when things don't go exactly as planned
• Practical advice for creating a successful business and setting yourself up for success in the long run

In this week's episode we talk about the various male personality types, the differences, and why I, your host, believe that male masculinity often gets a bad wrap in today's society and what the actual definitions of male masculinity are!  We dive into some of the traits of an alpha male and some of the negative connotations associated with these terms.  We also discuss other terms such as what it means to be a sigma male and beta male.  

UPDATE:  There are a lot more male personality types than what is mentioned in this particular podcast.  As I have mentioned before in later podcast episodes, I reserve the right to come back and add more information and details or information in future episodes. :)  Thank you for your time and understanding!

Pooja and Senator Dhingra touch on the social stigmas and conceptions of mental wellbeing versus physical wellbeing, finding a career that’s aligned with your inner true self, using nature as a medium for finding calm, and defining success in ones life and career.

About Washington State Senator Manka Dhingra:

Manka Dhingra is Deputy Majority Leader of the Washington State Senate. She brings two decades of experience as a prosecutor and behavioral health expert to her roles as chair of the Senate Behavioral Health Subcommittee and vice chair of the Senate Law & Justice Committee. She also serves on the Ways & Means Committee.

Dhingra was first elected to the Senate by the constituents of the 45th Legislative District in November 2017, the first Sikh legislator elected in the nation. Since then, she has sponsored and passed legislation addressing a wide range of issue areas, including: curbing domestic violence and sexual assault, preventing firearm violence, providing property tax relief for seniors and people with disabilities, prosecuting financial fraud, and reforming the criminal justice system with an evidence-based approach.

During her time in the Senate, Dhingra has helped pass legislation and funding to transform the Washington State behavioral health system, reorienting it around prevention rather than crisis response. She continues to strive to ensure that Washingtonians with behavioral health needs get the treatment they need and deserve.

As a member of the Special Committee on Economic Recovery, she is helping the state craft an economic plan to lead an equitable recovery from the COVID economic downturn. She also serves on several task forces dedicated to reducing poverty, reforming the criminal justice system, improving equity in state government, and providing a sound and fair fiscal footing for the state.

Dhingra continues to serve as a Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. As Chair of the Therapeutic Alternative Unit, she helped develop and oversee the Regional Mental Health Court, the Veterans Court, and the Community Assessment and Referral for Diversion program. As a mental health and crisis intervention expert, she has also been an instructor at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission for the 40-hour Crisis Intervention Training for law enforcement officers to reduce the risk of tragedy and improve the response to people in crisis.

Outside the courtroom, Dhingra is a community leader and anti-domestic violence advocate on the Eastside. She co-founded Chaya, an organization that assists South Asian survivors of domestic violence and led the organization’s work toward ending systemic violence through education and prevention. She also serves on the board of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Eastside.
