 Imagine being a student teacher grappling with the chaos that follows a devastating tornado. In this episode, Chris Karki and I recount the challenges of navigating a path back to normalcy amidst such destruction, from the practical hurdles of resuming classes in FEMA trailers to the emotional toll of witnessing a transformed landscape. Chris opens up about her stress and breakdowns, highlighting the resilience required to overcome such adversity.

Through personal stories of resilience and growth, we discuss the importance of allowing space for both grief and gratitude.
