homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation.

In this episode, I speak with Benoit—a US army veteran, former policymaker, and current psychotherapist—about his education journey across multiple countries, and having to adapt to each of its languages and cultures from scratch, every few years. We talk about the influence his mother had on his mental landscape, how he overcame being bullied in school, and what he learned about self-acceptance on his journey towards becoming a psychotherapist. We also discuss his views on education from both a micro and macroscopic view as a former Teach For America teacher and policymaker.
