S3 | Ep1: Awareness at Work: How Deepening Self-Insight Transforms Your Approach

Hear from special guest Monica Reinagel, founder of the Nutrition Diva podcast and The Change Academy Podcast. This episode explores how to expand your capacity to view your field, workplace, and colleagues from new perspectives. By becoming more aware of our individual experiences, we can better appreciate the gift of hearing perspectives different from our own—without needing to justify or defend.

 

What’s the impact? Greater capacity for meaningful and gratifying connections in the workplace and beyond.

 

What to listen for:

• How the “lifestyle medicine” movement must acknowledge that health, food, and nutrition choices are influenced by the identities people hold.
• How the validity we assign to research reflects the societal systems and identities we’ve experienced.
• A compelling example from the Menominee community that shows research isn’t the only source of truth.
• Practical strategies to build capacity for embracing different perspectives—without judgment or defensiveness.
• How workplace busyness often prevents employees from recognizing, listening to, and learning from the diverse identities that make up their teams.
