UFYB #238: The Invisible Labor Load for Women & Families of Color: A Conversation Kara Loewentheil, J.D., Master Certified Life Coach

This is a deeply personal conversation with Kara and my fellow Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching (and Wellesley alum) Shawna Samuel.

We discuss and share about:

  • Emotional labor: the unseen, unacknowledged, under appreciated, unpaid work women do in their homes

  • How this logistical + mental load is heightened for women of color in particular

  • How coaching plays a role in providing a safe space to feel + navigate challenging circumstances

  • How “control” is a fallacy that we buy into: attending the “right” schools, getting a “good” job, being a valued member of society doesn’t prevent or protect you from systemic bias or intentional marginalization

  • Our personal experiences and approaches to working with clients
