#03 Unmasking Microaggressions: Owning Identity and Culture

In this episode we are tackling microaggressions, identity, and culture head-on.

Pavneet Khurana, an organisational psychologist, breaks down the subtle yet damaging ways prejudice creeps into our daily lives and workspaces.

Through raw storytelling, we reveal how these "paper cuts" of bias stack up, causing deep harm. Pavneet shares how self-awareness and curiosity can shift these dynamics, and the tough process of unlearning ingrained behaviours.

We dive into leadership, fear, and the challenge of showing up authentically in spaces that don’t always welcome us. From reclaiming names to unpacking diversity and inclusion in the workplace, this episode pushes us to rethink the environments we build and live in.

Join us for a conversation that isn’t just talk—it’s a call to action. Break barriers, embrace diversity, and make room for real change.
