In Part 2 of this conversation, Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown continues her discussion with organizational psychologist Dr. Kerriann Peart about what Caribbean women experience in professional spaces.

This episode explores topics we rarely talk about openly, including how perimenopause, burnout, and ambition culture intersect with work and identity.

Together they discuss:

• Why Caribbean women often push themselves to the point of burnout
• The hidden impact of perimenopause on professional life
• Cultural expectations around ambition and hard work
• How to recalibrate ambition at different stages of life
• Why learning to regulate yourself is essential for longevity in your career

This conversation continues the discussion started in Part 1, where they explored Caribbean identity in corporate spaces and the challenges of navigating workplace culture.
