What happens when brain science, student mental health, and education policy collide—especially in a post-COVID world?
In this episode of The Voyage Cast, we sit down with Nicole, a dedicated school psychologist, to explore the real-world challenges facing students, parents, and educators today. Nicole opens up about her personal journey into the world of school psychology, and how her work bridges the gap between mental health, neurological tools like brain mapping, and the evolving politics of education.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone trying to understand what kids are up against in today’s classrooms, this conversation offers insight, hope, and a fresh look at what students truly need.
We discuss:
- The rising mental health needs of students post-pandemic
- How brain mapping is being used to understand behavior and improve learning
- The emotional toll educators carry—and what’s being done (or not done) about it
- The tension between policy and psychology in school systems
- What parents can do to advocate for their kids without burning out
If you’ve got kids in school—or care about the future of education—you’ll want to hear this.
