This is part two of our conversation with Gina, our Swedish expert on gender equality and inclusion in the workplace.

Join the three of us as we nerd out and dig into the intricacies of intersectional inclusion, gender roles and neurodivergence, and how to hold space for the full range of the human experience.

This is part one of our fascinating interview with friend of the podcast, Gina Petrushenko. She is a Gender Equality Consultant with Spicy Brain and Add Gender in Sweden.

We asked Gina to consult on a situation Jenn was in at a previous job and tell us what her advice would have been.

We covered sexual harassment in service jobs, the barriers to making the workplace psychologically safe, the pitfalls of masking, the traps of an environment that outwardly appears diverse but isn't actually inclusive, and how to convince the people in power to make changes through objective studies and with outside help.

Stay tuned for Part Two!

Is your workplace a cult? How do you spot a toxic workplace before it's too late? What's the deal with almond milk?

All these questions and more will be answered in part 2 of our 2-part series on toxic workplaces, bad bosses, and how to avoid them.

We'll talk about red flags for identifying toxic workplaces, the chronic stress to burnout to illness pipeline, the dangers of staying too long in a toxic environment, and the similarities between toxic workplaces and abusive relationships.

It's not all doom and gloom, though. We end on a good note! We'll also get into green flags, how to spot healthier workplaces during the interview process, and the good that can come from bad.

We hope this episode validates and informs you, and that it sparks your own conversations around boundaries and taking good care of your physical and mental health.

Also, please excuse the sirens in the background! We were recording in my old downtown apartment and soundproofing was not a thing.
