   Comm in Ten: Grief Is the Other Side of Love

   Season TWO! Every relationship ends. Dr. Paige Toller says that to her students, and it stops them for a second. Paige is a professor in the UNO School of Communication who studies interpersonal communication, which looks at how our closest relationships form, hold together, and end. In this episode she talks about the part we usually avoid, grief and loss, and why she treats it as a real part of how relationships work, not a footnote. Paige explains that grief is both internal and external, the private emotion and the way we reach for other people. She talks about the little deaths we rarely name, a lost job, a breakup, the loss of your health, a kid leaving for college, and how each one asks us to build a new normal. She shares research she did on how people talked about suicide online, and what it revealed about how poorly we support the people left behind. And she talks about her dissertation work with parents who lost a child, and the resilience she did not expect to find. She has one thing she wishes faculty and students understood: grief is all-consuming, especially right after a loss, and a grieving student cannot just set it aside for class. Building a new normal takes time, sometimes years. Her point is simple and hard. There is no love without loss. If you are dealing with grief or loss, UNO counseling services are there for students, faculty, and staff, and community counseling is an option too.

   Comm in Ten: The Conversations That Get You to Graduation

   Most students don't graduate because of one big moment. They graduate because of dozens of small ones, many of them happening in an advisor's office. Megan Lee has had thousands of those conversations. In this episode, the Season 1 finale, she walks us through how academic advising actually shapes student success. It's a side of higher education that doesn't get headlines, and it should. Megan talks about the pattern she sees again and again with students who get stuck, and the kind of communication that gets them moving again. We close out the season with a conversation about listening, persistence, and the quiet, structural work of helping someone become who they're trying to become.

   Comm in Ten: The Craft Behind Competitive Speaking

   Competitive speaking sounds, from the outside, like a stage event. From the inside, it's a craft, closer to coaching than performing. The people who do it well end up communicating at a level that shows up everywhere else in their lives. Amanda VonGoodrich coaches UNO Forensics. In this episode she shares what the work is really about, what students gain from it, and why the discipline matters more than the trophies. Amanda reflects on her own path through forensics and what builds confidence in young speakers. Not the surface-level kind. The steadier kind that comes from knowing you've prepared. We talk about argument as a form of respect, the difference between speaking at people and to them, and why forensics graduates tend to do well in rooms that have nothing to do with competition.
