    Ever wondered how to juggle family life, professional duties, and a hurricane? That's our life recently! Join us as we reconnect after a long hiatus filled with illness, school challenges, and a natural disaster. You'll hear all about our chaotic start to the school year, the hurdles we've faced, and our excitement about starting a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with colleagues for some much-needed therapeutic fun. Our kids' antics and the introduction of a token economy system in the classroom are just a few highlights you'll enjoy.

    Being part of a community-focused program is incredibly rewarding, and we share our personal experiences of integrating family life with professional responsibilities. From attending a D1 football game to supporting students at their internship open houses, we discuss the importance of balancing these roles. Managing client schedules, especially with unexpected rescheduling and the need for clear communication, is a recurring theme. We also explore the humorous dynamics of sibling relationships and celebrate the growth of our children.

    Let's get real about the emotional residue left in therapy rooms. We dive into the complexities of maintaining long-term client relationships and the necessity of setting boundaries. Have you ever pondered whether a room absorbs the emotions of its occupants? We have, and we discuss everything from using collected client tears as a purifying ritual to naming air fresheners "Unmet Expectations." Plus, we share a laugh over the idea of adult diapers like Depends for those challenging days, emphasizing the importance of being non-judgmental and meeting people where they are. Tune in for a candid, humorous, and heartfelt conversation that promises to leave you both entertained and reflective.
