Writer, mystic, coach, leader, and a mother talks to Naketa Ren Thigpen about her racial awakening, the concept of whiteness, and what led her from attending seminary to becoming a bold spokesperson.Whiteness is a thing. It’s not who we are but it becomes so ingrained…we need to learn how to separate this. - Kerry Connelly [30:00]What you will learnKerry shares her life-changing experience about watching an episode of “On Being”.She talks about her inspiration behind authoring the book ‘The Good* White Racist’.Kerry describes her actual encounter and embracing a Black woman’s theology and rich ideology.The importance of taking small yet bold decisions to consider yourself a not-so-intelligent person and mingling with groups where you might look dumb to enhance your personal growth.Systemized racism is a mess tangled with patriarchy, capitalism, interpersonal relationships, our own psyches, and self-image.Power comes from the many aspects of you that make the complete you.Kerry’s decision to lean into writing while being staff at the Evangelical Church.The necessity of listening and learning from black voices – it does not mean submitting to them but paying heed to them.Public lament on racism needs to move people into reparation.The concept of whiteness and how we need to practice agency over that, just as we need to with toxic masculinity.The difference between “need” and “want” and how to choose wisely.More about Kerry ConnellyHaving spent a considerable portion of her life wading through the halls and desert lands of Evangelical Christianity, her time at the seminary helped examine her beliefs and changed her life in multiple ways.ContactKerry ConnellyWebsite: https://www.kerryconnelly.com/Email: [email protected] Media LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerry.connelly/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/sheselevatedFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JerseygirlJesus/Order a copy of my survivor memoir and personal transformational story.Selfish: Permission to Pause, Live, Love and Laugh Your Way to Joy at Amazon or anywhere books are found.Subscribe, REVIEW, Share & Balance BoldlyRecently Rated #8 by Feedspot on The Top 35 Women in Business Podcast to Follow in 2020!

One thing I –Naketa Thigpen- am sure about is that the current season we’re in is leaving no one unaffected whether in our relationships, businesses or other sides of our lives. In today’s episode I want to find out what it would be like if, instead of trying to shift and change things during this intense time of COVID19, we would manage to find the magic that it takes to guide us, increase confidence and impact? To help me elude this question, who better than Jenny Fenig? Former successful public relations executive and now award winning transformational coach and consultant who helps people using their intuition to take transitions and new directions when they need it. Jenny tells us how the loss of her young sister helped her, even years later, to find out how changing the form of a relationship can bring us peace. Sharing a conversation about the magical way this pandemic is bringing us closer to our family, children and ourselves. I asked her to reveal how she got from a survivor stage to a stage of overflow that allows her to love, guide and be a leader for her family and community. And as the show is all about balance, she’ll give us clues on how to balance the desire to help people with our commitment to care for ourselves. Jenny will confirm that there is power in the pause, explain why mindfulness is important and how living a mindful life helps us keep a look at our own patterns in an uplifting way.Hit play now to start finding the magic!More about Jenny:Jenny Fenig has devoted her life to coaching corporate and entrepreneurial women who are in a transition and in need of direction. Jenny believes that there is magic in all of us and at her retreats, she encourages her clients to let that magic guide them towards increasing their confidence and their impact.She spent the first decade of her career in the corporate space as a public relations executive and event producer elevating the visibility and message of the biggest brands and thought leaders in the world.

On this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast with Naketa R. Thigpen, there was an urgency to speak to someone with a mind to not only do good work, but someone who does that work with both high integrity and a full sense of self. All too often, great people with good intentions, show up to their work with only half of themselves. Often feeling like they need to hide portions of themselves for fear that the clients or even teammates simply wouldn’t understand them. Perhaps they’d even judge them for being so enthusiastic, optimistic, or upbeat. Not this guest! Our featured expert this week is Kirsten M. Toler, a Tax Senior Manager with Friedman LLP. She has over 25 years of combined experience effectively balanced between public accounting and private industry, focused mainly on client service and tax. Kirsten is also energetic, informative, and true to her core. Kirsten takes us inside her journey with a look at a unique professional career path that led her to incorporate her passion for understanding and strengthening emotional intelligence. Her intention to bring her full self to work and avoid exhausting herself with over compartmentalizing her gifts, helped to decrease the stress that goes with the joys of mothering teenagers and being a doting wife on top of her full investment in clients at work. Tune in and hear how to stay true to your core and maximize your potential! More about KirstenKirsten has a diverse background and is known by some as a Rockstar CPA and Strategist. When she’s not spending her time working with clients, loving on her husband, children, and family; Kirsten makes room to speak at the Girl’s Career Institute, as a Mentor on the Gail Bierbaum Rider Women’s Leadership Council, and Subject Matter Expert Panelist for UBS ‘Monetizing Your Life’s Work’ program.
