An Educated Life

Kayin Griffith is the Director of Housing at George Fox University and she has a lot of amazing insights that have come through her life, work, and education. She talks about her Enneagram 2 type, parenting, MBA program, leadership, love, self-compassion, and so much more. It's a killer time, so grab your latte with hemp milk and come listen!

In this episode, I get to interview Mark Pothoff, the Dean of Students at George Fox University. He is entering his 25th year in Higher Education and I take the opportunity to ask him all about the world of higher education. We talk about how college life has changed over time, parenting, the highs and lows of working in student life, and more!

Grant Burns and Min Choi sit down and have a candid chat about our college experience and our journey with the Enneagram tool throughout our adult life. Self-awareness is a lifelong journey and it is one of the most powerful ways we can actualize who we truly are. The Enneagram is a tool to help us find our true selves.

We do not dive into the basics of the Enneagram. Go to the Enneagram Institute or search "Enneagram" in the Liturgist Podcast for a very good episode on the overview of the subject.

On this episode of An Educated Life we talk about the overwhelming power of being hospitable in a busy, stress-filled, chaotic, and scarce setting--college life. Kayin Griffith, Liz Anderson, Grant Burns, and Min Choi get together to talk about the beautiful compassion of hospitality.

Kristina Van Der Eems schools us on the art of pausing in this episode of An Educated Life. We talk about the rush of college life and how we can live a life that isn't just a string of panicky moments, one after another. Join us in this episode and try to listen without pausing because you won't want to miss it.

In this episode, we break down the beautiful pursuit of self-care in a busy, noisy, messy world. During our college years, we can quickly become overwhelmed and overextended, especially when it is so tempting to go to every amazing, meaningful experience or event. How do we stay intentional with our own self-care so that we can live healthy and sustainable lives?
