Unmasking Blindspotting: Leigh Ann and Mike's Deep Dive into Unconscious Biases

The more that we can speak honestly, but with compassion, I think it will help us open up a lot more.
Ever wondered how your past experiences shape the way you see others? In this episode of 'First Day Pod', Leigh Ann and Mike tackle the intriguing topic of blindspotting, also known as implicit bias. Meeting in person for the first time, the hosts bring a fresh energy to their candid discussion about how unconscious biases form and linger in our minds.
These biases can cloud our judgment, making it hard to see people as they truly are, even when they've changed. Leigh Ann and Mike share personal anecdotes to illustrate how these hidden perspectives have influenced their own lives. They stress the importance of self-awareness and honest communication in breaking through these mental barriers. The conversation also touches on societal pressures, like the 'keeping up with the Joneses' mentality, and how it skews our sense of success.
The hosts highlight the value of book clubs and community as tools for collective learning and growth. This episode is a blend of serious reflection and light-hearted moments, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in personal development and self-care. Tune in to 'First Day Pod' and start unmasking your own blind spots today.
