Dr. Christopher Ponce sits down with school psychologist, content creator, and parent Tiffany Lee (@schoolpsychtiffany) for a candid conversation about building a career in school psychology while also building a life outside of it. Tiffany shares her path into the field, from studying psychology and business to discovering school psychology through work with students with disabilities and realizing she wanted to make a measurable impact.

They dig into the realities of the job right now — long evaluation timelines, differences across states, imposter syndrome in early career years, and the importance of strong relationships with colleagues. Tiffany reflects on creating school psychology content online for nearly a decade, starting in grad school and eventually becoming a resource for students and practitioners across the country.

The conversation also explores how becoming parents has shaped their professional perspectives, from increased empathy with families to sharper time management and boundaries. They talk NASP conference strategy, networking without burning out, and how social media has helped school psychologists feel less isolated in their roles.

The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round of fun questions so listeners can get to know Tiffany beyond the profession, because the field is serious work, but the people in it don’t have to be.

A real conversation about the profession, the people in it, and how school psychologists are carving out space for authenticity, creativity, and community.
