📖 Episodic Synopsis
What does it mean to keep students safe—and what happens when it costs you everything? In this episode, I sit down with Megan Farison, author of Dissonance and a passionate music educator, to unpack the delicate intersections of trauma, boundaries, and educator resilience. Together, we explore what it looks like to build trust in the classroom while navigating the invisible scars of your own past. From micro-moments of connection to the macro-systems that fail our youth, this is a raw and necessary conversation for anyone who’s ever tried to do the right thing in an imperfect world.
