    Jun 16 2025
    Ready to explore what real inclusion and well-being look like—especially for those doing the heavy lifting on the frontlines of change? On this episode of the Inclusive AF Podcast, hosts Katee Van Horn and Jackye Clayton are joined by Dr. Rebecca Eldridge, a licensed psychologist with 20+ years of expertise in multicultural issues and organizational well-being. Together, they dig into the often-overlooked toll of fighting for equity (especially for Black and Brown women), intergenerational trauma, and why self-care isn’t just a buzzword—it’s essential for sustainable change. You’ll hear actionable advice for leaders navigating tough topics like global conflict at work, the importance of psychological safety, and why “finding your calm” matters (even if it feels uncomfortable or impossible). Plus, there’s real talk about burnout, what organizations get wrong about DEI, and how small changes can have big impact. If you care about inclusion, employee wellness, or the “real work” of creating change—this episode is both validating and a must-listen. 🔗 Listen, learn, and join the conversation! #InclusiveAF #DEI #WorkplaceWellbeing #WomenInLeadership #PsychologicalSafety #Burnout #SelfCare #SocialJustice #Leadership #Podcast #InclusionMatters #MentalHealthAtWork 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments!
