We kick off episode 12 with a fun little game of Food Network Star or Top 50 music artist. Play along and see if you know the difference of these 10 celebrities. We also discuss uplifting teachers we had in elementary school, AND discuss ways to uplift teachers now, as we round out the school year. We also reflect on bullies of our past, and how we handled the fact that “hurt people hurt people.” (The Victory Couch is hosted by Rick and Julie Rando)
