[un]phased podcast Feisty Media

What does equity mean in sport? Yes, it's women being included, but it's also resources for racing moms, supporting the inclusion of Black folks in historically white sports, having size-inclusive athletic gear, and SO much more. Feisty Media welcomes a panel of women with intersectional identities to celebrate International Women's Day and discuss why equal opportunity is no longer enough. Hosted by Selene Yeager and Sara Gross, guests Khadijah Diggs, Marley Blonsky, and Alison Tetrick share the inequity they've faced in their athletic spaces, and what equity would truly look like for them individually.

This week, we announce a change in direction. Moving away from this iteration of the [Un]Phased podcast, Shaunna and Lisa discuss new directions and new ways to discuss DEI.
Looking back over the past 115 episodes, the duo explains the challenges they faced in focusing solely on DEI in relation to endurance sport, and how they will move away from this - to a more broad lens. We hope you've learned and grown with us along the way! Follow along and subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on our new directions. Stay tuned!

Perfectionism can be exhausting, especially in endurance sport. Athletes expect to have the *perfect* race. With the upcoming Ironman World Championship race in Kona, it's essential to understand what perfection is and what it is not. And, how does "perfection" exclude certain groups of people?
This week, Shaunna and Lisa dive into the definition of perfection and what groups are included and excluded. Perfection in terms of athletic performance is tied to something very specific, which, as the hosts discuss, has distinct roots in whiteness and maleness. How do we oppose ideas of perfection that come from a fast time, and instead embrace the perfection that comes from having a race that feels good?

Have you encountered someone who is so resistant to DEI work that they seem to drain all of your energy? You get sucked into the vortex of their unrelenting resistance, and often this distracts you from the work and all of the other folks that support it. This week on the show Lisa & Shaunna explain that we can call those folks that seem to exhaust you constantly “Energy Vampires.” They take our energy to fuel themselves, leaving us with less energy to spend not just in our social justice work, but in all areas of our lives.
We all have to be intentional about how we spend our energy, whether this be in sport, our careers, or in social justice work. It is important to set boundaries, especially when interacting with “Energy Vampires,” and to direct our focus towards those folks that do have the energy and excitement to engage in DEI work alongside us.

Any parent knows that no two children are exactly the same. They each have their own style of communication, problem solving, and conflict resolving (or creating). Just like siblings, not all DEI training programs are created equally. Each program depends on the training professional’s area of expertise. If you are seeking out DEI training for your organization, it is important to recognize this. 
One of the questions arising in the sea of training options is whether DEI training is the same as a training on anti-racism. This week on the podcast, Shaunna and Lisa discuss the difference between DEI and anti-racism training and how DEI professionals can help structure programming and education to better incorporate principles of anti-racism. They compare training topics to peace-keeping and peace-making and discuss how to build a training that is right for your organization.
