Holding Space: Surviving Corporate America with Minda Harts

An Intimate Conversation with Women of Color

In this 2020 Re-Release episode, the concept of holding space is explored as a form of healing. Minda Harts, Workplace Consultant, Speaker and Author, and MY favorite Podcaster, emphasize the importance of taking the time to heal and introspect before being able to support and be of use to others. Minda highlights that holding space allows individuals to openly discuss their experiences, both positive and negative. The societal expectation for Black women to be stoic and strong has long prevented them from openly discussing their struggles. However, the work being done aims to create a safe space where Black women can share their experiences and explore what healing means to them. Listeners are encouraged to pause, reflect, and explore their own definitions of success, granting themselves permission to examine their desires and goals. The recurring theme of healing in recent episodes underscores its importance and the need to prioritize it. By holding space for oneself and others, individuals can engage in the healing process and work towards becoming the best version of themselves.

In this episode, we cover:

[00:06:23] Black women in the workplace.

[00:14:38] The power of women's voices.

[00:15:38] Legacy and future generations.
