She’s also the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy practice. A former international business journalist, Ruchika is a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review. I first heard Ruchika speak on Brene Brown’s podcast, Unlocking Us. I became immediately obsessed with her work. I had the honor of hearing her speak at her book launch party here in Seattle and I’ve been fangirling over her ever since. The work she’s doing is so critically important and the way she does the work is so thoughtful and deeply impactful. I was so excited and so honored when she said YES to coming on the show.  Listen in to hear Ruchika share: How being an immigrant and woman of color has impacted and challenged her as a mother The social construct of imposter syndrome for women and how it parallels the social construct of mom guilt Her challenges around being a working mom who travels for work and how she is treated differently than men in the same boat The difference between diversity and inclusion and how current systems undermine inclusion, even if promoting diversity Her BRIDGE framework for allies, advocates, and those wishing to lead in more inclusive and equitable ways across social systems Links mentioned: Join my 5th annual Plan & Prep Pajama Party on January 23rd: shamelessmom.com/pajamaparty Connect with Ruchika and get Inclusion on Purpose: inclusiononpurpose.co Ruchika on Twitter Ruchika on Instagram Ruchika on LinkedIn Sponsor info and promo codes: Please find our sponsor information here: shamelessmom.com/sponsor/ Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?
