Welcome back to our 6th season of Josie and the Podcast! I am so glad to have you back and excited to dig into this new season, which is all about change. Changes in life, careers, transitions, and how we can prioritize time management during these crazy periods.

Have you heard of the “pandemic skip?” Whether it was your relationship with your family, your career, traveling, or any other part of life, the pandemic uprooted all of us and stole a few years from us! This season, we're going to talk about it, and I’ll be asking my guests for lessons, things that they're still grappling with, and how we can all continue to move on after those rough and isolating years.

In this first kick-off episode, I'll update you on what's been going on in my life since last year's mental health season. And then we were getting into platform problems. (And yes, if you're humming Champagne Problems right now, you’ve got the right idea.)

We’re diving into the struggle-bus of Twitter/X, how I feel about Threads, the accessibility of all these different platforms, TikTok trends, how social media is the loneliest job on campus, and a few AI resources to take with you towards the end of the show.

Influencer Marketing and Its Place in Higher Education

We hear about influencers everywhere these days. But what even is an influencer, and where does this kind of person fit into the equation when we are talking about leadership and higher ed?

Well, I’m back from NASPA and ready to wrap up season 5 of the podcast! So in this episode, I will break down some definitions we hear when we’re in the influencer sphere, explore some innovative and successful influencer campaigns, how Higher Ed could start dipping toes into influencer marketing, and some of my best practices for working with influencers of all sizes.

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, which was a theme to this season of the podcast. As we wrap up the school year and this season, I just hope you continue to take care of yourself and your people, and find some ways to keep self care in your routines!

And we’ll see you in season 6!

Tapping into Joy with Myla Edmond

Life changes, choosing joy, and expanding beyond the cells higher ed marketers are put in – this episode of Josie and the Podcast is full of inspiring and insightful conversation with my dear friend, Myla Edmond.

Myla is an innovative collaborator with over 15 years of experience in marketing and communications in higher education. She builds teams of leaders and strategic partners by focusing on disruptive thinking, emotional intelligence, active inclusion, and comprehensive integration. Myla currently leads communications and marketing at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

In this episode, we dive into Myla's recent life transition to Los Angeles, discussing the challenges and excitements of relocation. Myla shares insights on prioritizing joy, drawing on her experiences spending two Semesters at Sea, where she navigated the seas and leaned into her emotions through poetry.

But that’s not all. Myla shares a candid perspective on the challenges marketers face in higher education, emphasizing the limitations imposed when they are confined to narrow roles.

Join us as we explore the intersections of life changes, joy, leadership, and the imperative work of creating more inclusive spaces within higher education marketing. Get ready for an episode that sparks inspiration and encourages us all to embrace the transformative power of change!
