This week on Counselor Chat, we’re taking a break from the heavy stuff and diving into a little mid-summer magic. It’s a personal episode full of recommendations, reflections, and fun finds that are keeping me grounded, growing, and even a little more organized during these sunny months.

Here’s what I’m sharing:

📚 What I’m Reading

🎧 What I’m Listening To

📺 What I’m Watching

🥗 What I’m Cooking

✨ What’s Coming Up:

• I’ll be at the ASCA Conference in Long Beach! Stop by the Perks booth and say hi!
• Registration is open for the 2025 Summer Counselor Conference — where I’ll be presenting “Putting Out Fires All Day” to help you shift from reactive to proactive in your school counseling practice.

💛 Inspiration to close your day with:

"Whether it’s a new book to read, a show to chill with, or a way to get back into your groove before August creeps in—remember to rest without guilt, learn with joy, and always, always take care of you."
