Through candid conversations with physicians, healthcare professionals, educators, and STEM leaders, the show explores mentorship, career navigation, leadership, and the real-life topics often left out of professional spaces—from dating, marriage, and having children to setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, and maintaining friendships while building a meaningful career.

In Episode 2 of Unwritten Curriculum, we explore the unspoken expectations surrounding hair in professional spaces.
From natural hair and protective styles to perceptions of professionalism, hair has long carried cultural, social, and political meaning—especially for women and people of color navigating careers in medicine, healthcare, and STEM.
This episode examines how appearance standards shape workplace experiences, the pressures many professionals face to conform, and what it means to show up authentically while still navigating institutional norms.
Through honest conversation, we unpack bias, identity, and the evolving conversation around professionalism in modern workplaces.
