Self-Compassionate Professor episodes

  • 114. Gaining energy and clarity via insights about past with Dr. Sara Taylor
    The first of a two-part series, Dr. Sara Taylor describes the work she does today as a therapeutic life coach and shamanic practitioner as well as the ways her academic career was shaped by early trauma. While not conscious of it at the time, with a lot of work, she came to put together her larger life puzzle and understand the bigger picture about why she chose academia and why she eventually left (in addition to many other life pieces). She explains that academia was a perfect container for her trauma and makes a convincing case for all of us to do the deep inner work required to release trauma, arguing that it affects every aspect of our lives.

  • 113. Pregnancy loss, healing, and professional identity with Dr. Melanie Peffer
    Dr. Melanie Peffer passionately argues for a change in the ways our society navigates pregnancy loss, asserting that as academics, we can use our professional status to open conversation. Melanie shows how she has done this in her own classroom, in her pedagogical research, and on her blog. She also talks about the necessity of feeling and talking about the grief experienced after pregnancy loss, the importance of also holding on to gratitude, and the need to implement rituals that honor lost babies.

  • 112. The inner critic and creating space with Dr. Nicole Janz

    Dr. Nicole Janz tells her story of healing from burnout. She also discusses her decision to ultimately leave academia and how in the process of letting go of her academic identity, she became more fully herself: attached less to her career identity and more psychologically flexible about owning all of her identities in life and career. Nicole also explains how our inner critics adopt a voice consistent with the culture of academia and offers advice about how to dialogue with the inner critic so as to open up space and new possibilities.

  • 111. Telling a new story with Dr. Sanne Frandsen

    Dr. Sanne Frandsen describes the power of narrative, explaining how many of our career problems manifest from the stories we tell ourselves. She offers two specific examples: how feelings of inadequacy and time poverty are often issues of mindset and can likely be managed by telling a new story. Sanne also explains that in career crises, people must navigate through messy and ongoing narrative changes until they are able to find something that fits.

  • 109. The thing beneath with Dr. Corey Latta

    Dr. Corey Latta discusses his experiences with toxic workplaces from corporate to higher education, explaining that while toxicity comes in different shapes and flavors, all such environments lack one major ingredient: people centeredness. He offers wise and empowering guidance for those navigating toxic workplaces and in the end, we discuss the ways healing, growth, and inner work (and lack thereof) may shape our career choices.

  • 107. The practice of doing nothing, solo episode

    In this solo episode, I explain how self-pressure negatively impacts our relationship to self and to others as well as how it negatively impacts the trajectories of our daily lives and career development. For the sake of personal growth, career development, and a more peaceful existence, I advocate for a short period of doing nothing daily. First, I discuss how to begin a practice of doing nothing. And second, I discuss how such a practice can positively impact your career and life.

  • 106. Mentorship with Dr. Shoba Subramanian
    Dr. Shoba Subramanian demonstrates the power of mentorship on individuals, institutions, and society, arguing for environments where kindness, empathy, trust, and sharing are embraced, a “personal board of mentors” philosophy is normalized, great focus is placed on the professional growth of mentees, and space is made for a natural cycle of mentees eventually becoming mentors themselves. It is in these environments, as Shoba explains, where professional growth, positive institutional change, and wellness thrive.

  • 105. Presence with Dr. Caitlin Faas, re-release

    It's spring break and I'm resting! In that spirit, I re-release my interview with Dr. Caitlin Faas. Caitlin tells a fascinating story about how she finally found peace in her job as a tenured professor--a job that once felt stifling. Interestingly, that peace opened up new opportunities for Caitlin and she eventually walked away from her academic job with grace and ease. In this episode, Caitlin describes how she has been able to talk herself through difficult life and career challenges as well as how she's able to facilitate that process for her clients. More than anything, Caitlin emphasizes the power of presence as we navigate both the good and bad times. Find Caitlin and her meditations at https://www.drcaitlinfaas.com/.
