Some days as a school counselor, you leave work feeling like you've changed a life. Other days you're wondering if graduate school somehow forgot to mention this part of the job.

In this episode, we're introducing a brand-new segment: Stories from the Trenches. Laugh along with us as we read your submissions, share our own reactions, and invite you to play along with our new "Pick Your Response" moments. Whether you're choosing between staying professional or questioning your life choices, we promise you'll see yourself somewhere in the answers.

So grab your coffee, buckle up for the commute, and remember: you are definitely not the only counselor wondering, "Did that really just happen?"

Have a story from the trenches? We'd love to hear it! Send us your funniest, most unbelievable, "you had to be there" school counseling moments. Your story might just be featured in a future episode (anonymously, of course). Emails us at [email protected]
