Ep 393: Bring Your Whole Self To Work With Maeve DuVally

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has been a big topic of conversation, particularly workplace conversation, over the past few years. DEI efforts stand to make our workplaces more inclusive, more welcoming, and more equitable for all. More recently though, there’s been chatter that for some companies, DEI efforts are only a facade to make their workplaces look better — without really putting much effort into making the changes that matter. 
Maeve DuVally is on a mission to ensure DEI efforts are actually changing the face of corporate America — and to be a mentor for trans employees in the workplace. DuVally lived through workplace challenges herself at a place notorious for not being an easy place for women to work — Wall Street. She spent nearly 20 years at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch and details her coming out story in her new book, Maeve Rising: Coming Out Trans in Corporate America. Listen in to hear her advice for anyone who wants to bring their full selves to the workplace, how to be a good ally, and why she fully believes in DEI initiatives.  
In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who’s worried about the high sales charge on her employer's retirement plan and a young retiree who wants to know how to make a little extra money while keeping her flexibility. For our money tip of the week, how to save on the high cost of weddings as a guest.
