Moments that Challenged the Top of Mind Team to Stay Curious
In this podcast episode, Julie and the other members of the Top of Mind team reflect on moments from previous episodes that challenged them to stay curious and stick with uncomfortable perspectives instead of dismissing them or putting up defenses. As we put podcast episodes together, we have these \u201cStick With It\u201d moments all the time \u2013 and we hope you do, too, because they\u2019ve led us to new empathy, deeper relationships, and clarity about our own views. One of our producers grapples with the grading system she grew up with. Another reconsiders her thinking on the impact of social media use on teen mental health. We'll also explore a complicated relationship with unions, find empathy in the medication for mental health debate, and reassess the language we use when talking about homelessness. \n\nWe\u2019d love to hear your \u201cStick With It\u201d moments. Email your story to topofmind@byu.edu. We\u2019re also on social media @topofmindpod. \n\nPodcast Guests: \nTop of Mind producers Alayna Beck, Vanessa Goodman, Amber Mortensen, Samuel Benson, and James Hoopes. \n\nFind links below to all of the Top of Mind episodes referenced in this episode.\n\nMany Students Lack Motivation to Learn.
