What to Expect on "One Thought at a Time"

Join Glenda, your insightful and genuine host, as she navigates a new chapter after a significant career change. This podcast is born from personal transformation and a deep-seated curiosity about the world and the diverse people in it.

• Real Stories, Real Growth: Glenda shares the raw catalyst for her podcasting journey – a termination after nine years that, while difficult, ignited a passion for learning and connection. She's not shying away from past challenges but instead uses them as a springboard for exploration.
• A Tapestry of Topics: Prepare for a wide array of discussions! From learning new skills like horseback riding and line dancing to delving into the minds of comedians, artists, and MMA fighters, Glenda's interests are expansive. The podcast will also tackle significant conversations around motherhood, mental health, and the power of books.
• Authenticity and Connection: Glenda openly shares her experience with learning disabilities, inviting listeners to be patient and grow with her as she hones her podcasting craft. This isn't about perfection, but about genuine curiosity, an open heart, and a commitment to shared learning.
• Beyond the Negativity: While Glenda acknowledges past negative workplace experiences, including interactions with individuals she describes as a "McBiggot" or a "well-respected secretary" who suggested people of color "just accept" issues rather than protest, the podcast's focus is firmly on moving forward and embracing positive exploration. These anecdotes serve as a backdrop to her renewed purpose.

One Thought at a Time is for anyone who loves genuine conversation, personal growth, and exploring the rich tapestry of human experience.

You're at a family gathering, you're proud of your work, and someone dismisses your profession by saying, "I could do that." Whether you're a designer, a chef, an electrician, or a social worker, this comment minimizes your effort, training, and passion.

In this episode, we're getting to the root of this behavior. We'll define who this person is, explore the psychology behind their need to belittle others' work, and provide you with three different strategies for how to respond (or not respond!) to protect your peace.

We want to hear from you! Have you ever had someone say this to you? What did you do or wish you had done?
