  • Dr. Vanessa Dennen: Nurturing Identity in Educational Spaces Online | Self-Improvement Atlas #66

    Dr. Vanessa Dennen: Nurturing Identity in Educational Spaces Online | Self-Improvement Atlas #66
    Nov 21 2024

    Virtual environments and digital interactions are becoming increasingly central to our lives, and with that, comes a host of questions: Do online communities influence our identity? To what extent? So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella Quek is joined by Dr. Vanessa Dennen to learn more about online communities and its effect on our self-identity

    As professor of Instructional Systems & Learning Technologies at Florida State University, Dr. Vanessa Dennen’s research investigates the cognitive, motivational, and social elements of computer-mediated communication. Specifically, she concentrates on three major issues: learner engagement in online discussion activities, identity development, knowledge management and knowledge brokering within online networks and communities of practice, as well as ethical issues related to computer-mediated learning.

    In this episode, Dr. Vanessa Dennen reveals that there are two types of engagement—passive and active—that equally contribute to both an individual’s identity development and online communities. That aside, she cites search engines like Google, and social media platforms like Facebook, as decent entry points for locating niche forums with strong communities.

    Together, Marie Stella Quek and Dr. Vanessa Dennen address the common misconception that online communities are merely echo chambers that spiral into negativity, as well as risks associated with forming identities through virtual spaces.

    So, tune in to this episode for a thought-provoking discussion about what you can do for an online community and more importantly, what an online community can do for you.

  • Shannon Swales: Compassion Fatigue — A Psychologist's Insights | Self-Improvement Atlas #65

    Shannon Swales: Compassion Fatigue — A Psychologist's Insights | Self-Improvement Atlas #65
    Nov 7 2024
    Have you ever felt yourself dissociating from being the shoulder to cry on for the hundredth time? The weight of others’ emotions can sometimes turn empathy into vicarious exhaustion. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella chats with clinical psychologist Shannon Swales to learn about compassion fatigue. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experiences, Shannon Swales' journey in the field of psychology has been deeply influenced by her own encounter with burnout and previous mental health struggles. But, she set out to heal herself, documenting her progress in a journal that’s now become a popular blog and podcast called ‘When Burnout Becomes Reality’. In this episode, Shannon Swales shares that compassion fatigue is a result of the trauma load that one is carrying vicariously, while typical burnout may be a result of various sources. She explains that self-care is extremely important in managing and preventing compassion fatigue, including mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy and other approaches. Together, Marie and Shannon Swales discuss what organizations can do to support their employees and volunteers who might be experiencing compassion fatigue. So, tune in for an insightful conversation filled with personal stories, expert knowledge, and more!

  • Giovanni Dienstmann: Beginner's Meditation — Finding Inner Peace | Self-Improvement Atlas #64

    Giovanni Dienstmann: Beginner's Meditation — Finding Inner Peace | Self-Improvement Atlas #64
    Oct 24 2024
    Meditation is taking the world by storm, with information available on social media outlets and blogs alike. But, understanding the fundamentals of meditation and what types might be suited for your goals and lifestyle is key to making it work. So, this week on Self-Improvement Atlas: The Personal Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by meditation teacher Giovanni Dienstmann for beginner-friendly meditation advice. Having practiced meditation since 14 years old, Giovanni Dienstmann recognized a gap in the industry when it started gaining popularity 10 years ago. As a meditation teacher, Giovanni Dienstmann adopts an approach that heavily considers a client’s goals, which most online classes overlook. Outside of the meditation classroom, he runs one of the most-visited meditation blogs on the web, and has authored Amazon best-seller Practical Meditation, which has been affectionately dubbed by readers as ‘the meditation bible. In this episode, Giovanni Dienstmann breaks down the basic principles of meditation, elaborating that, depending on style, meditation is ideally unsupported, with some extent of physical stillness. For beginners, he recommends practicing a meditation warmup, where—similar to warmups prior to sports or physical activity—two to three minutes are spent calming the brain down and centering the mind. Together, Marie and Giovanni Dienstmann discuss the various meditation practices and what they are most suited for, along with factors to consider when choosing a meditation practice. That aside, Giovanni Dienstmann offers his recommendations on resources that provide a more extensive meditation experience beyond the basics. So, whether you’re a curious novice or earnestly seeking to deepen your knowledge and meditation abilities, tune in to this episode for an abundance of expert advice!
