Weak leaders fear dissent as a threat to their power. They silence their critics to shield their egos.

Strong leaders welcome dissent as an opportunity for growth. They silence their egos to learn from their critics.

National Holmes Scholar of the Month? That’s me! ✨ Being part of the Holmes Scholars Program has been a game-changer in my doctoral journey. How’s that for a "DEI"? 😏

Speaking Grief | Documentary Speaking Grief is a public media initiative aimed at creating a more grief-aware society by validating the experience of grievers and helping to guide those who wish to support them.

I just finished watching the documentary “Speaking Grief” and cannot recommend it enough, especially for counseling professionals. Grief is a universal experience that we could all be better at. Also, their website has so many pertinent resources. #scchat speakinggrief.org/documentary

Thanks for putting this together; I’d love to be added!

🙋‍♀️ - I was in Tulsa 3 weeks ago doing a school mental health training at Oklahoma State University. I hesitated at first but am so glad I went; the K-12 practitioners and professors were engaged, eager to learn, and fun to work with. I'd go back and yes, we need to do the hard work!

Hi, I'm Julia! I'm excited to have another space to connect and reconnect with local organizers, colleagues in academia, K-12 folx, and mental health professionals. I was a school counselor for a decade, then earned my Ph.D., and now I teach and supervise grad students.
