212. Room to breathe with Tyler Martin

Tyler Martin shows that despite institutional demands and limitations placed on higher ed faculty, it is still possible for faculty to feel grounded in purpose, clear about personal values, and strong in their own sense of agency.

He argues that as we allow ourselves to experience the tensions we all feel in relationship to our institutions as well as express and co-witness these challenges in community, we can begin to peel back the layers that keep us behaving outside of our integrity.

And in this “apprenticeship within conversation,” we find both small and big ways to inch our way back to ourselves. This practice, as Tyler points out, is ongoing and ever-evolving, requiring great commitment to self, community, and society. Find Tyler at https://goodpainco.com/goodpain-podcast/.
