Navigating ethical pitfalls and maintaining  professionalism isn't just a part of our job - it's at the heart of our mission as school counselors.

This episode takes a hard look at the delicate dance between best, ethical practices and the pressures that tempt us to bend or overstep our boundaries.

This is the stuff few people talk about: the emotional complexities that come with truly investing in our students' lives. You'll hear firsthand how to balance empathy with professionalism, personal connection with necessary distance, productivity versus rigidity, and why it's crucial to know when to reach out for additional resources and support when things start to feel dicey.

All school counselors need to join this down-to-earth conversation about the stuff we don't always talk about but face every day.

It's a reminder that in our journeys as school counselors, knowing when to ask for support is a strength, not a weakness.

Together, we can navigate the complexities and keep our focus on being there for our students in the absolute best way possible.
