June 20, 2023Episode 26 (Part 1) | The Prison POD Podcast | Valerie Cartonio
Valerie Cartonio | Podcast Host & Inmate Advocate
Fellow podcast host and inmate advocate Valerie Cartonio channels her expertise in sociology and peace studies into her work advocating for incarcerated individuals in the state of Maine. At our next roundtable, Valerie joins us to share her experiences as an advocate breaking barriers and reaching those she serves through her podcast “The Prison POD”.
In Part 1, Valerie shares how she found her way into her role as both an advocate and as a podcaster for incarcerated individuals. We discuss the larger systemic problems as well as what is wrong with our current perspectives about the punitive system. We discuss the damage our current incarceration system has caused for many who have shared their stories with her in hopes of finding some semblance of humanity outside the confines of prison.
Let’s talk about it.

June 06, 2023Episode 25 (Part 2) | Choosing Our Messy Joy | Robin Shear
Robin Shear | Certified Joy Coach & Keynote Speaker
Certified Joy Coach & Keynote Speaker Robin Shear joins us at the roundtable to discuss the topic of Joy and why it is crucial to our experiences (and
longevity) as human service professionals.
In PART 2, we unpack the philosophy of joy and how our attention drives our understanding of what joy means to us as a society. Robin provides us with a new perspective on how we can understand what joy is, when it is missing in the lives of those we serve, and how to recognize when we’ve lost it ourselves. Are happiness and joy the same thing? The nuance between the two leads the way to understanding and choosing messy joy.

Let’s talk about it.
