"Keep your promises, especially to yourself." That's been the carrot I've been dangling for myself as I put together this May's Season of Change Series for the podcast.

First on this month, Dr. Qaali Hussein, double board certified surgeon, whom I've wanted to come on for a long time and couldn't pin down myself, is here to talk about what propelled her work to change, and how she made it happen. What does "defiance" mean to us, why are we afraid of it, and let's just get over our apprehension of it already!

We ended up completely ignoring the notes and talked A LOT about DEI and how it misses the trees for the forest (yes, I intended to write it that way). But hey, in the spirit of defiance, it made sense to throw the script out the door and go with the flow.

If you're in a season of change or considering one, this episode is for you. Don't forget to check out Defiance Academy and get professional coaching with Dr. Qaali who's opening her first cohort of the year in June.
