92,000. That is the number of hours the average person spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our work means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in offices and job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back. But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work, school, or community. Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.

To kick off our second season, Annalisa is joined by Dr. Shamby Polychronis.
This episode discusses resilience. During a time of such isolation, we don't think there's a more timely topic. Through Shamby's openness and vulnerability, we learn how she has persevered during the most difficult times of her life. We talk about everything from resilience at work to raising resilient children.
Shamby is a Special Education professor in the Education Department at the University of Utah. She is a passionate advocate for disability rights. She advocates for alternatives to guardianship, full inclusion in school and community environments, meaningful employment, and eliminating aversive interventions. Her scholarly work and interests include post-school outcomes for students, family support services, and teacher education. You can learn more about her and her work on LinkedIn.
