Season 6: Tell Me This, Introductions

Carey Borkoski, Ph.D., Ed.D. — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 11:15:00 -0400

Welcome to another season of Tell Me This. Brianne and I are so excited to share our summer research, stories, and plan for the upcoming season. Over the past year or so, our curious around connections between belonging and grief have blossomed into summer research projects, creative writing pieces, and intense, hard, and beautiful conversations. Through all of this work, we also recognize that while we have each have personal stories of grief, we are missing and wanting to hear diverse and varied stories from others. Season 6 will center on stories of grief and belonging where courageous and vulnerable guests share their own stories and journeys in grief.

This first episode provides more context and our thoughts and learning about universal and unique experience of grief.

We hope you will listen along this season.

Season 3 - A Gift From My Grandmother

Carey Borkoski, Ph.D., Ed.D. — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Hello, Listeners.

I am so excited to share this podcast episode with you. If you have been a long time listener, you already know that my grandmother, Eileen Downey, really inspired me to start this podcast three years ago. Fast forward to today, I am so proud that this podcasting journey brought me to a great conversation with my mom. My mom and I have had great conversations before but this is one that we had actually never fully had and decided it might be fun to share it with my listening audience. I hope you will see the connections to belonging, community, and all of the other themes and lessons that come up in our interviews and conversations with folks who have been on the pod.

Take a listen and I promise you won't be disappointed!!

With gratitude,

Carey

Take a listen to learn how I navigated away from those stories to a place of possibilities.

This was such a wonderful conversation and we know you are going to enjoy it.

Please join Danielle and me for a wonderful and enlightening conversation with Dr. Mayme Hostetter. As President of Relay University, she brings a wealth of knowledge, a learning identity, and powerful ideas about how to strengthen our strategies and approaches to education. Relay and Dr. Hostetter believe in the power of mastery, growth mindset, and deliberate practice. Dr. Hostetter reminds us that the steep learning curves associated with deliberate practice of particular teaching skills for our residents and least experienced graduate students, I’m sold on the power of rehearsing teaching in the presence of experts. During this hour, we talk about the paradox of novice-expert and how it shows up in her leadership, with her team, their students, and in the culture of Relay University. We also dig into how she and her team cultivate spaces so that individuals can successfully and willingly practice knowing that failure IS an option.

Please join us for this great chat.

It Just Takes Time

Carey Borkoski, Ph.D., Ed.D. — Mon, 03 Feb 2020 15:11:47 -0500

On today's episode we will talk about why the simple steps to belonging and community building can be the most difficult. We will examine some of those simple steps and the barriers to starting, how taking time - being patient and making time - being intentional can make all of the difference when cultivating connections, and finding comfort in discomfort. Who doesn't love a good paradox?? Through stories, research, and a sample of 1 (okay, maybe a few others), we will talk about, reflect on, and most important, act on these strategies.

I hope you will join us!

Also, in this episode - I ask for your experiences, opinions, and ideas about the role of manners (like yes ma'am and no-sir) in our quest to belong. If you have stories, ideas, or just opinions, please email me at careyborkoski@gmail.com. Thanks!

Listening and Gratitude: First Steps to Cultivate Belonging

Carey Borkoski, Ph.D., Ed.D. — Tue, 14 Jan 2020 11:49:41 -0500

Today, in our first episode, I discuss the podcast themes, structure, and my reasons for starting this podcast. During the episode, I take a walk down memory lane and share a few stories about my grandparents and how they have inspired me to start this podcast (finally!). We also spend some time unpacking these stories and finding some interesting connections with a research article that I recently read. To close out the first episode we take some small steps to notice how we are we others and what we might do to cultivate an environment of belonging with even the individuals share very different views.

Thanks for listening!
