Have you ever stopped to truly notice the world around you—the small moments and subtle ways people carry the weight of their day? In this unique episode, I’m sharing a spoken word piece by Leah Grant, a high school counselor and podcast listener, who beautifully captures the essence of what it means to be a counselor. Through her quiet observations in the hallways, she reflects on the emotional toll of social media, the growing disconnect from real human connection, and how these shifts have transformed the high school experience.

Leah doesn’t just share what she notices. She also reveals how she helps students process their emotions, navigate difficult situations, and reconnect with the world around them. Her words will make you pause, reflect, and see your own role in a new light. I have a feeling this episode will stay with you long after you listen, and if it resonates with you, I encourage you to share it with a friend!
