As a former school counselor, planning board member of the first fully-trauma-informed school in South Carolina, speaker at several major education conferences, and Trust-Based Relational practitioner, my take on compassionate practices comes from years of advocacy and training.
This podcast is the fruit of over 5 years in the trenches of high-risk schools as an educator and school counselor. Utilizing the hard-fought skills gained meeting childhood adversity and its impacts head-on in schools, my hope is to share those nuggets to support other educators and caregivers on their trauma-responsive journey.
Whether your goal is to improve classroom behavior, shift from old punitive mindsets to new restorative and preventive ones, or just to be more inclusive in your daily journey- I hope you find support here for your trauma-informed journey!
Join me on the #healingjourney of #resilience as we discuss the realities of the school system today, promoting resilience, and discuss life-changing tools that meet kids where they are while supporting caregivers.
It's time to see the landscape of education move from intervention to PREVENTION. From surviving to THRIVING.

Join me on the Guests with GRIT series where we will spend time hearing the stories of individuals who have overcome adversity in inspiring ways.This episode highlights Tiffani, a self-proclaimed kid from hard places, as she gives testimony to the impact of early childhood trauma in her life. In her account, she discloses childhood abuse that went unrecognized despite her prominent family's status and good intentions.We will uncover the myth of willful disobedience and shift our eyes to the survival mode that is often misdiagnosed within the medical and school systems. From ADHD to ODD, and now an auto-immune disorder, Tiffani shares how a Trauma-Informed school could have changed the trajectory of her healing journey for the better.
Felt-Safety is a powerful tool in the hands of educators and parents alike. Felt-safety means not just physically being safe, but feeling safe in one's environment. Children from hard places often have a hard time distinguishing real threats from perceived ones and can greatly benefit from some preventive measures of support.Empowering educators and parents with practical tools to cut down on fight-or-flight behaviors is well worth the time spent on prevention, and eliminates the need for intervention. Join me as I relay tried and true, simple strategies to help children (and adults) have stress-free transitions.
Join me as we follow Brian, a student from hard places with a high ACE score on a typical school day. In this vignette, I will expose the missed opportunities of non-trauma-informed schools and highlight the preventive and protective factors of schools implementing these best practices. The stark contrast between the impact of not having support verses being supported during times of adversity can literally mean life-or-death. #AdverseChildhoodExperiences #ACEs #TraumaInformedSchools #ACEPrevention #Schools #SchoolCounselor #Education #EndSchoolShootings
