511. Coaching Hotline: When DEI Feels Like a Threat
About this episode
Kara Loewentheil discusses scarcity thinking in the context of diversity and equity at work, emphasizing personal responsibility for success.
Do you catch yourself resenting opportunities others get, even when they’re designed to increase fairness or diversity? In this episode, I answer a listener struggling with scarcity thinking at work and explain why it’s the thought, not the circumstance, that creates anxiety and resentment. You'll hear how women are socialized to wait for rewards instead of creating them, and why taking responsibility for your own success lets you see opportunity and achievement as something you generate, not something handed out.
