Season 3, Episode 8 - Pulling Oracle Cards with Kathy Crabbe

Dimed Out

33:58

In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Alright gang, this week we're pulling oracle cards.
In the concluding part of my conversation with artist, psychic, astrologer & soul reader Kathy Crabbe, I have my chakra's checked and Kathy pulls a couple of cards from her hand made oracle decks.
This mini session of sorts not only moved me to look inwards a little more, but it also provided some helpful creative prompts, such as free/automatic writing.
As an added bonus, me and Kathy also touch upon a couple of interesting areas towards the end of our chat. Mainly her thoughts on determinism and dealing with any negative information she receives amidst her soul readings.

In this episode of your thirteenth favourite, above average, but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT…we wrap things up on Season 5. Diving into an amateur attempt at Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold dusted lacquer, I break a cheap bowl and put it back together with superglue and gold paint. A fun little project and a metaphor of sorts for embracing flaws and imperfections. Something I've been working in in this season. I also discuss perspective shifts and the human element of my time in Puebla.

In this episode of your third favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast DIMED OUT…we're looking at Performance. Acting the part you think other people want to see. Embodying the character we believe we need to be. The various masks we wear for those around us. We're also looking at the productive and destructive qualities of Perfectionism. What it is, how it manifests, when it starts and when it should stop. Outside of detailing my own experiences with perfectionism, in this episode I dive into two seperate, but equally fantastic conversations. The first is with Jess Parente, trauma informed coach and founder of 'It Ends With You' - a mental health service specialising in codependency. IT ENDS WITH YOU https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553460761081 The second conversation is with Rhi Anderson, life coach and founder of 'Living Abled' - an an organisation that is helping young adults find their purpose and self worth while breaking the stigma of disability.

TW: THIS EPISODE FOCUSES ON DIETING, BODY ISSUES AND MENTAL HEALTH. It's about chuffing time! The 5th Season of your 3rd favourite above average but infinitely curious podcast, DIMED OUT, is finally here. With all good intentions I tried to piece together an interesting, different, iteration of the show. One that was partly intended to help me let go of perfectionistic traits and cause less work...yet this one has probably been the most laborious. Having said that, at the end of the day, it is a labour of love. In this first episode I dig into my original plans, their implosion, my failed (mostly) fitness journey, and the uncertain nature of what is to come.…

Season 4, Episode 16: Nasubi's Prize Life 1:02:13

Alright gang, in our season finale we’re asking “can a man live on completion prizes alone?” The year is 1998. The place is Japan. An aspiring comedian by the name of Nasubi auditions to be on Denpa Shonen’s new TV show with the hopes of breaking into showbiz. Selected as the sole contestant, Nasubi is then taken to a small apartment, stripped naked and told that everything he needs to survive from this point on, must be won via magazine and radio contests. Oh, and if that wasn’t traumatic enough, millions of people at home will be watching on a weekly basis. Nasubi’s Prize Life is a story that is so ridiculous it shouldn’t be true. But it is. It’s a story that is cruel, compelling, grotesque, puzzling, and psychologically fascinating. A pretty fitting way to finish our fourth season then.

Alright gang, this week we’re concluding our two part conversation with Tim Doyle. Not only are we getting a resolution to Tim’s encounter with the Angel of Death but Tim also digs into a variety of topics including the God frequency. Shifting from a 3rd dimensional consciousness to a 5th level consciousness. Egyptian gods, arcturians and a prayer which allegedly removes fears and other emotional parasites from your being.

Alright gang, this week in the first of a two part conversation, we’re talking to ordained metaphysical minister, reiki master, and conduit for the Golden Ones, Tim Doyle. In a very unique conversation that took place at my mums dining room table, I spoke to Tim about a number of things. His mission to spread the teachings of his celestial guides ‘The Golden Ones’. His ayahuasca experiences in Peru. His encounter with the angel of death. How, why, and when, we allegedly choose to come to earth. Karma. Reincarnation. Free will vs Determinism and so much more. It really is quite the conversation, and this is only the first part. Be sure to check out the concluding part next week.
