Join us for a candid conversation with Huma, who you may know on Instagram as @the_school_psychologist, a seasoned school psychologist who shares invaluable insights on building confidence, setting boundaries, and embracing change in your early career.
In this episode, Huma highlights the importance of nurturing children’s nervous systems and emotional intelligence during the formative years—long before academics take center stage. Her practical advice for self-care and establishing trust with colleagues is sure to resonate with anyone striving to thrive in the field.
On a lighter note, Huma reveals her fun side, sharing her love for road trips, quirky snack choices (hello, hot Cheetos and Trader Joe’s chocolate chip cookies!), and even her unexpected enjoyment of being a CSE chairperson. Plus, we dive into Huma’s podcast, The School Psychologist, where she tackles youth mental health and the challenges faced in schools today. Tune in for a blend of practical career advice and personal anecdotes that inspire both professional and personal growth.
