Podcasts about highlight reels

Hi Mamas, Do you ever open social media for "just a minute" and somehow end up feeling like you're behind? Behind on motherhood. Behind on your goals. Behind on your housework. Behind on life. You're not alone. Today we're talking about the pressure of social media, the comparison trap so many moms fall into, and the powerful reminder that we are often comparing our real lives to someone else's carefully curated highlight reel. I share my own struggles with social media as both a mom and a coach, why healthy boundaries around technology matter, and how comparison can quietly steal our joy, confidence, and presence without us even realizing it. If you've ever found yourself questioning whether you're doing enough after scrolling social media, this episode is for you. In This Episode We Discuss: Why social media comparison is so common among moms • How comparison quietly steals joy and shifts our focus • The difference between real life and online highlight reels • Why even coaches and business owners struggle with comparison • The importance of creating healthy boundaries with social media • How to protect your peace and stay present in your own life • A simple mindset shift to help you stop feeling like you're falling behind This Week's Quote: "Don't compare your real life to someone else's highlight reel."

What if healing your mind starts with understanding your brain? In this powerful and practical episode, Terrina Picarello, Licensed Professional Counselor, Brain-Based Therapist, and Mental Health Nutritionist, joins the conversation to explore how true healing goes far beyond traditional talk therapy. With extensive training in brain health, EMDR therapy, and integrative care, Terrina shares how looking at the function of the brain itself can unlock breakthroughs in mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Drawing from her work alongside organizations like the Amen Clinics, Terrina explains how many emotional and behavioral struggles are rooted in brain system imbalances, stress response patterns, and nutritional deficiencies — and how addressing these core issues can create lasting transformation. This episode dives into: How brain-based therapy works and why it matters, The connection between brain health and emotional regulation, Trauma recovery through EMDR and brain-focused approaches, The role of mental health nutrition in healing and resilience, How brain function impacts relationships, couples, and family dynamics, And practical ways to begin rewiring your mind for better outcomes. Terrina also discusses the importance of individualized care, explaining that no two brains — and no two healing journeys — are the same. Through customized treatment plans, brain assessments, and integrative support, she helps clients address the root causes of their struggles rather than just the symptoms. Her mission is to guide individuals, couples, and families toward lasting healing, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose — addressing not just the mind, but the connection between body, brain, and overall wellness. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply looking to optimize your mental health, this episode offers valuable insights into how a brain-first approach can change everything.

Your phone starts ringing, your inbox fills up, and suddenly “I just want to keep playing” turns into the hardest set of decisions you've made so far. We sit down with Ozark United FC U19 players to unpack what college soccer recruiting really feels like after MLS Next Fest and how they keep their heads clear when opportunities come fast. We get practical about the research that actually matters: how to define fit using nonnegotiables, how to evaluate a program's culture beyond win-loss records, and how academics can either narrow your list or make it feel wide open. We also talk timing and visibility, from building highlight reels early to understanding NCAA contact rules, plus why relationships built through camps can quietly shape who gets recruited. Then we dig into the reality checks most players learn too late. Financial aid can make or break a “dream school,” so we talk about using school cost tools and avoiding big debt when possible. Playing time matters too, and we share smart questions to ask coaches about roster size, position depth, and whether there's a real path to competing early. Finally, we bring it back to Northwest Arkansas soccer and the Ozark United community with signing-day emotions and a powerful prompt: what legacy are you leaving for the players coming after you? Subscribe for more Pitch To Pro, share this with a player or parent who's headed into recruiting, and leave a review with the one question you wish every coach would answer.

The episode continues with a look at recent federal appellate decisions, including Robinson v. NCAA and the Ninth Circuit's ruling in Blythe v. NCAA. Finally, Landis and Sade break down a contract dispute in Dallas, where the Mavericks secured a notable ruling at summary judgment. It was a busy couple of weeks.

Word of mouth is the absolute best way to support any creative endeavor. Spring is a good time to think about what we plant — literally and figuratively. The Celtic lands we love were shaped by people who understood that the earth gives back what you put into it. This week's tip is simple. Go native. If you're planting anything this spring — flowers, shrubs, anything — choose native plants. They support local pollinators, use less water, and need far less maintenance. One trip to a native plant nursery can do more good than you'd expect. Walk outside. Pick up one piece of trash. Plant something that belongs. The same spirit that carries Celtic music forward, community, resilience, love of the land, is the same spirit that keeps this planet alive. Let's carry that forward.

Send me a photo from your St Patrick's Day celebrations or any new audio recordings you got for the holiday. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Tim Cannon emailed: "Marc, Thanks for doing what you do, and for doing for so long! Please bear with me...  I'm old enough to remember the days when stereo's would hold multiple CD's and there was a setting to shuffle between the CD's.  Do you know of an App that does something like this?  I imagine that I would store my albums on my device and in the app choose which ones are available for the shuffle.  I use pandora and spotify, but would prefer something that better supports the artists." Jeffrey Alexander messaged on Facebook: "Is the iPhone app dead?? If so what is the best way to listen now?" I replied: Patreon app. I don't know if you're a subscriber, but it works great for this app. And gets you involved with the community. It works well even if you just follow the show there. Overcast. Tho I've been listening to a lot more shows on Patreon. This is my favorite Podcatcher. It's iPhone only. Has cool features if you're not listening to music apps. Apple Podcasts. Still a good podcatcher. Daniel Faigin replied to the comments in #748: "I just wanted to applaud what you said to the fellow who made the "libtard" comment in Ep 748. Folk music and celtic music has always spoken truth to power, and our current leadership needs to hear the truth. This listener supports what you said. You might lose some listeners, but hopefully you will gain a lot more from the folkies and celtic music fans that agree with you. If there had been a one - time donation button on the site or the patreon, I would have used it. Instead, I'll just continue to support the great artists you find." He followed up with this short email: "When I shared what you said with my wife, she said: "You've been listening long enough". So I signed up at the lowest level  -  -  less for the perks, and more to support your effort." Thank you Daniel. Yes. I definitely lost followers for my political shows these past couple months. And you are right, there is outrage from the continued injustices by the current administration. So much so that the NO KINGS protests continue to peacefully grow. There are three ways that we can make true change, especially with a government that is complicit in supporting the illegal actions of our president. Vote them out. Make your voice heard in November. Support small, local indie businesses. It's always good to support your local community. But most of these businesses not only need your support more than some giant corporation, but they also aren't supporting a government actively breaking laws and hurting people. Speak up. Publicly. At rallies and protests. Online. And especially by contacting your representatives. It feels futile. But it's not. Your voice matters. You also mentioned making a one - time donation. I don't have a regular way of sharing the URL, but if you go to https://bestcelticmusic.net/donate/ , then you make a one - off donation. But your regular support on Patreon means everything. So thank you!  

In Part 2 with returning guest Chelsey O'Brien, we catch up on what life looks like after the Retired Racehorse Project and what she's working on next.Chelsey introduces her 2026 prospect, Rustler, aka Rusty, a stakes-winning OTTB owned by Pastured Place. He's a very different ride from the horses she's brought along for the Makeover in previous years, and this one is pushing her in new ways as a trainer. We talk about what that process actually looks like day to day, including the moments that feel messy and the ones where things suddenly start to come together.We also dig into the two videos that recently went viral and the reaction that followed. One features Dude, an OTTB Chelsey took on and carefully rehabbed after a difficult start. Chelsey shares the full story behind that video, how things unfolded online, and why she still believes in showing the real side of retraining off-track Thoroughbreds.It's an honest conversation about horsemanship, perspective, and staying committed to the horse in front of you, even when the internet has opinions.

From high-end residential “wealth” to AI-responsive environments, top designers discuss why lighting is the most under-recognized—yet essential—element of the built environment. Lighting is often the ghost in the machine of interior design: when it's perfect, you don't notice it; when it's wrong, it's all you can see. In a wide-ranging discussion featuring architectural lighting experts and residential designers, the conversation shifts from the utility of “turning on the lights” to the high-stakes world of experiential design. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep For firms like Focus Lighting and their partners like GRADE, the challenge lies in the nuance of the environment. Whether it’s the high-octane spectacle of the Times Square ball or the restrained elegance of a Chelsea penthouse, the philosophy remains the same: lighting should highlight architectural moments and art without revealing the source. This “invisible” approach is what separates a standard renovation from a truly bespoke residence. The dialogue also touches on the psychological divide between “rich” and “wealthy” clients. While some desire flashy, obvious fixtures, the most sophisticated projects utilize layers of light—integrated into millwork, hidden in suede-pedal ceiling features, or tucked behind undulating panels—to create a sensory experience that feels natural and inevitable. Looking forward, the industry is on the cusp of a technological revolution. We are moving toward responsive homes where AI recognizes individual inhabitants, adjusting the lighting plan to their specific preferences and moods in real-time. As designers push into new frontiers like luxury yachting and “Zoom-ready” home offices, the goal remains human-centric: using innovation not just because we can, but to make life better through the deliberate application of light. Today, you are going to hear from Focus Lighting's, Mike Cummings and partners of theirs in GRADE NY's Edward Yedid and Thomas Hickey. Were talking about lighting and how the skilled application in design makes a difference in not just beauty, performance but quality of experience. Core Concepts: The Power of Layers: Effective lighting isn’t about one bright source; it's about a “team” of layers (decorative, accent, and task) working in tandem. The “Wealthy” Aesthetic: High-end design is shifting away from flashy fixtures toward “restrained” lighting where the source is hidden, but the effect is transformative. Collaboration is Mandatory: The most innovative solutions—like lighting art with tiny bronze heads or illuminating glass tables with “water droplet” fixtures—come from the friction between a designer’s vision and a lighting engineer’s technical skill. The Future is AI-Responsive: We are moving toward a “switch-less” world where homes utilize motion sensors and machine learning to anticipate a resident’s path and preference. Residential vs. Hospitality: In hospitality, the light source is often a celebrated feature; in residential, the goal is for the lighting to disappear into the architecture. Resources & Applicable Elements Focus Lighting: An architectural lighting design firm known for projects ranging from Times Square to private luxury residences. GRADE NY: Since GRADE's founding in 2004, it has been our belief that integrating architecture and interior design from the outset creates the most beautiful, balanced and cohesive solutions. Lutron Systems: A leader in lighting control and automated shading solutions mentioned as a “hook” for homeowners entering the world of smart design. Carpenters Workshop Gallery: Mentioned for their innovative, reactive light fixtures that respond to sound and motion. KBIS (Kitchen & Bath Industry Show): The premier event for kitchen and bath design professionals. The Highlight Reel “If someone hasn’t used a lighting designer before, they ask us why we need one. If someone has used one before, they can’t wait to use them again.” — Eddie “Lighting design is a double-edged sword. The better job I’m doing, the less you appreciate it.” — Michael “Rich people are flashier—they want to see the light fixture. Our clients are wealthy… to them, this is just their world.” — Thomas “I can come to your house… and like a doctor, diagnose why you don’t like [the lighting] and then use those words to create a new design.” — Michael “You never hear anybody say ‘no’ in New York, because somebody else will say ‘yes’ right behind you.” — Eddie “We’re not lighting designers. We’re definitely not structural engineers… when we push the boundaries of our design, we want to have teammates who can say, ‘Oh, I’ve never done that before. Let’s figure out a solution together’ instead of ‘No.'” — Thomas

On their latest biweekly roundtable, the Cognitive Dissidents find that losing is winning in Iran for the technocracy's long-term plan, the energy shock of the Iran War isn't just about oil and gas but also about fertilizer and food with fears creating shortages before actual scarcity hits, and new lows in insider trading as hundreds of millions of dollars are wagered and won mere minutes before Trump's TACO tweet…these topics and many more!

When “high standards” start turning into pressure to be perfect, fully healed, or completely ready before you even let yourself connect, dating can feel confusing. In this episode, we unpack what “good enough” really means in modern dating, why so many people stay stuck in perpetual preparation, and how intimacy is often built not through getting everything right, but through being willing to stay present, honest, and human.Tune in to learn more about:The difference between healthy standards and perfectionismHow people use self-development to avoid actually getting in the gameWhy intimacy grows in the messy middle, not in polished perfectionHow unhealed wounds can disguise themselves as standardsWhy many women confuse safety with being rescuedHow men can get stuck trying to be the perfect regulator instead of bringing their real depthWhy emotional depth is one of the most attractive qualities in a partnerHow staying in the conversation can build more clarity than leaving too soonWhy mutual growth is one of the real purposes of relationshipWant to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

Have you ever been sitting across from a partner you truly love, only to find your mind wandering back to a teenage bedroom or a rain-soaked goodbye from ten years ago? Why does the memory of a "first love" carry so much weight, even when you've built a stable, happy life with someone else?In this episode of the Romantic Truth Podcast, Jausan peels back the layers of nostalgia to find out why our brains are so obsessed with "The One That Got Away."What We're Breaking Down:In this deep dive, we explore why revisiting the past is rarely about the person and almost always about you. We'll discuss: * The "Original Self" Trap: How your first love serves as a time machine to a version of yourself that didn't have to worry about mortgages or "what's for dinner?" * The Zeigarnik Effect: Why the human brain is biologically hardwired to obsess over "unfinished" business and how that creates a false sense of destiny. * Highlight Reel vs. Behind-the-Scenes: Why we compare the curated, peak memories of a past flame to the messy, beautiful reality of a current long-term partner. * The Chemistry of the Blueprint: Why that first rush of dopamine sets a benchmark that is nearly impossible (and maybe even undesirable) to replicate in a mature relationship.The Truth BombIs looking back a harmless "What If," or is it a symptom of something missing in your current connection? Jausan explores how to acknowledge the beauty of your past without letting it haunt your present.> "We don't miss the person; we miss the person we were when we were with them.">

Today's Headlines: A Los Angeles jury found Meta and YouTube liable for a user's social media addiction — the first verdict of its kind — awarding $6 million in damages for negligently designing platforms to be addictive despite knowing the harm. Meta 70% liable, YouTube 30%. Both stocks went up anyway. With 2,000 pending related lawsuits and a separate New Mexico jury ordering Meta to pay $375 million for enabling child exploitation, this may be the Big Tobacco moment for social media — or the beginning of a very long appeals process. Probably both. Day 27 of the Iran war: Trump deployed 2,000-3,000 paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne while telling reporters "we've won this war." Iran rejected his 15-point peace proposal as "extremely maximalist and unreasonable" — their counteroffer included war reparations and permanent sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. Not close. Rubio told Congress the U.S. may need to physically enter Iran to secure nuclear material. NBC News reported Trump's daily war briefing is a two-minute explosion montage, which explains a lot. TSA is at 450 resignations, callout rates above 40%, no funding deal in sight. Epstein's accountant — who managed his finances for decades, opened bank accounts for victims, organized their housing, and appeared on shell companies used to move money — testified the FBI and DOJ never once interviewed him during their "exhaustive" investigation. French prosecutors raided a Rothschild bank in Paris in a separate Epstein probe involving a diplomat who allegedly passed UN Security Council material to Epstein. Newly released Jack Smith memos state Trump had a business motive for retaining classified documents, one of which only six people in the U.S. government were authorized to see. Finally, Melania hosted a global summit on children and technology, arrived with a humanoid robot, and suggested AI could be "the educators of the future." Ok.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: CNBC: Jury in Los Angeles finds Meta, YouTube negligent in social media addiction trial NPR: Iran rejects Trump's proposal to end the war and lays out 5 conditions Axios: White House downplays reports Iran rejected Trump peace proposal NBC News: Inside Trump's daily video montage briefing on the Iran war Axios: TSA staffing crisis escalates as agents quit, stay home Oversight Committee: Oversight Committee Releases Richard Kahn and Darren Indyke Deposition Videos AP News: French authorities search Paris arm of Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild in Epstein-linked probe MS Now: Trump appeared to have business motive for keeping classified documents, Jack Smith finds Axios: Republican Sen.

Andrew McRobbie has been in the middle of all of it as Director at All-Stars SC in Saratoga — and as a stepdad who just watched his daughter's soccer career end without knowing it was her last game.Chad, Craig, and Andrew get into the real stuff: why 91% of academy players never play a professional minute, what "elite" actually means (hint: someone's paying you), the social media trap that's teaching kids to chase highlights instead of fundamentals, and Andrew's one-line philosophy every soccer parent needs to hear. His three-year-old Jude also makes an appearance in a vintage Aberdeen kit, which is its own kind of struggle.

SummaryComparison is not the enemy like most people think. In this episode, Chase Smith and Chris Bealhen explain that the real problem is your mindset, not the comparison itself.They break down why everyone compares themselves and how it can either hurt you or help you grow. It all comes down to the story you tell yourself. If you think comparison means you are failing, it will hold you back. But if you use it as information, it can actually push you forward.Chase and Chris talk about the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and how that changes everything. They also explain why comparing yourself to people way ahead of you can kill your motivation, and how to find better comparisons that actually help.They cover how social media makes comparison worse, why you should focus more on habits instead of looks, and how to bounce back quickly after messing up.If you've ever felt behind or like you're not doing enough, this episode will help you see comparison in a completely different way and show you how to use it to your advantage.Chapters(00:00) Why Comparison Can Hurt or Help(01:16) Everyone Compares and Why Mindset Matters(03:33) The Story You Attach to Comparison(05:10) Why Comparing Yourself to the Top 10% Backfires(07:46) Outgrowing the Room and Finding Better Environments(10:57) Upward vs Downward Comparison(12:00) Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset(17:17) Real Life Examples of Health and Fitness Comparison(18:10) Self-Belief, Motivation, and Why It All Starts There(21:41) Appearance vs Performance Comparison(25:11) What Setbacks Really Mean(27:04) Recalculate and Bounce Back Faster(28:30) How to Use Comparison the Right Way(32:29) Compare the Full Process, Not Just the Result(35:18) Social Media, Highlight Reels, and Cleaning Up Your Feed(38:22) Uprooting Toxic Patterns Before They Grow(41:19) Turning Comparison from a Mirror into a Map(42:37) How to Rewire Negative ThoughtsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Neil welcomes Reed Sykes with co-host Kyle Johnson to The Cowboy Perspective for a conversation about horsemanship and animal training, focusing on building confidence rather than stripping it away. Reed shares his background growing up in Midland with a ranch near San Angelo, graduating from Sam Houston State after attending several universities, working in the oil field, then leaving in 2015 to train horses and dogs for the public despite initially feeling unprepared. He avoids labels like "cowboy" or "buckaroo," emphasizing daily improvement and teaching horses to "try," rewarding small efforts even when imperfect. The discussion covers patience as a learned skill, how experience changes expectations, pressure on trainers working under deadlines and public scrutiny, and how social media acts as a curated "commercial" that can both connect people and create problems. They describe how social media is a "commercial," how honest bluntness can attract better clients, and how public scrutiny and deadlines affect trainers. Kyle and Reed compare cowboy and dressage/eventing perspectives, discuss being humbled by new environments, and argue that excessive groundwork can be a disservice if it replaces riding. Reed explains "school halt," its classical dressage roots, its use for strengthening and demonstrating true engagement, and why he avoids making it a default response.   Topics 01:49 Reed's Background Story 02:57 Leaving Oilfield for Horses 05:27 What Kind of Horseman 07:35 Reward the Small Try 10:31 Teaching Movement and Feel 13:24 Learning Patience Over Time 16:25 Clients Pressure and Public Eye 23:25 How Reed and Kyle Met 24:49 Social Media as a Highlight Reel 29:40 Dressage Exposes Weaknesses 33:50 Mirrors and Learning Feel 36:20 Knowing Terms vs Getting It Done 37:30 Green vs Polished Horses 38:55 Kids and Real World Prep 40:56 Anxiety Vessel Concept 43:02 Wickenburg Culture Shock 47:56 Expectations and Rolling Punches 50:27 Why Colts Buck First Ride 52:52 What Kind of Trainer 53:28 Eventing Explained 56:00 Breeds and No Ribbons 01:00:19 Competing to Stay Humble 01:03:16 Groundwork vs Getting On 01:07:08 When Groundwork Matters 01:08:23 Origins of School Halt 01:09:29 From Halt to Airs 01:11:06 Why Train It 01:12:08 Proving True Collection 01:16:44 Deep Dive Into Dressage 01:19:32 Warhorse Mindset 01:22:59 Feel and Athleticism 01:26:00 Finding the Right Mentors 01:27:05 Books and Translation 01:31:01 Share the Knowledge 01:35:33 Wrapping Up and Next Steps

Ryan loses his mind over Ocho's viral claim that Caleb Williams is the most talented quarterback of all time — then dismantles it play by play. What starts as a highlight reel gets exposed for exactly what it is: filtered touchdown passes against busted coverages and trick plays dressed up as serious film analysis. The rant is equal parts hilarious and surgical. Ryan breaks down why stitching together 30-yard touchdown highlights is not "the tape" and why Ocho's analysis doesn't hold up to even basic scrutiny The DeVondre Sweat-to-Jets trade for Jermaine Johnson gets a quick hit reaction — what it means for both teams and why player-for-player swaps are so rare Teamworks acquires Pro Football Focus, and Ryan explains why this could either supercharge PFF or kill its consumer-facing product entirely Special teams coordinator interviews are heating up with four candidates coming in for in-person meetings — a hire could come by the weekend Javon Bullard's elite coverage numbers put him in company with Kyle Hamilton and Derwin James Free agency and the new league year are less than two weeks away, so buckle up — things are about to move fast.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/4rAtQvD Trevor Cummings, hosting with a lost voice, interviews blog author Brett Bonecutter about his COVID-era entry into the options-trading subculture after being taught by a former bond trader. Brett describes early euphoric gains from a single strategy in a favorable market that led to confirmation bias, followed by significant losses when conditions changed and he wasn't nimble enough to adapt, noting how traders often highlight winning trades while ignoring the full sample. They explain options as time-bound contracts to buy or sell an underlying asset (calls and puts), including how contracts themselves can be traded, and warn that complex combinations can create severe or even unlimited losses, citing a widely reported case of a confused young options trader who took his life and examples like meme-stock squeezes. They contrast investing vs speculating, critique overreliance on technical analysis, and conclude options are best for professional hedging, not retail “tinkering,” despite get-rich-quick allure. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:07 Subcultures and Finance 02:32 COVID Options Rabbit Hole 05:32 Highlight Reels and Bias 08:34 Big Wins Then Losses 10:25 Options Explained Simply 15:07 Derivatives and Real Danger 19:28 Casino vs Investing 21:42 Technical Analysis Debate 29:30 Selling Puts Insurance Analogy 35:56 Get Rich Quick Temptation 37:19 Final Warnings and Wrap Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Episode 150: Not Every Week Is a Highlight ReelNot every National School Counseling Week looks like a highlight reel, and that's okay.In this reflective episode, I share a personal experience from my own school where carefully made plans for National School Counseling Week were replaced by grief, crisis response, and the need to simply be present for students and staff.This episode is for counselors who felt exhausted, unseen, or overwhelmed, and for anyone who needed permission to let something go.In this episode, I cover:Why National School Counseling Week can feel complicated and emotionalHow unexpected events can shift even the best-laid plansWhat it means to truly “do enough” as a school counselorWhy quiet work still matters, even when it isn't celebratedA moment from the episode that I hope stays with you:“Sometimes doing what we can with what we have is the most realistic and compassionate choice.”If National School Counseling Week didn't look the way you hoped, if you stayed quiet, or if you focused on crisis instead of celebration, I want you to know this: you didn't fail. You're human. And the work you do every day still makes a difference.Thank you for being here and for all you give to this profession.Mentioned in this episode:Perks Membership
