    Great ideas!
    Our school put on a Wellness Day. It was such a success!! I had multiple teachers email me or text or tell me in person that it was one of their greatest days in education!! All the kids loved it and want us to do this every early release. Of course we can’t do that, but thank you for sharing the Wellness Day podcast!!
  • JBrownuva11
    So helpful!
    This podcast really helped to give me confidence and ideas as a new counselor. As far as specific episodes that were extremely helpful- the decision day one because I just listened to that one, the solution focus one, the cte partnerships one and the frequent flyer one. Each episode, left me feeling like “oh that’s interesting.”
  • DG13997
    Simply Amazing!
    As a school counseling candidate in my last semester of grad school, I absolutely LOVE this podcast! Although I am gaining great experience in through my internship, this podcast fills all the gaps or maybe things I am unsure about. I also love that the podcasts are not overwhelmingly long. I can turn on an episode as I’m heading to work or my internship and get solid information! Love love love it!

    School Counselor in Training
    This podcast has been so helpful for me to listen to during my practicum and internship experiences! I love that it is high school focused and that there is such a variety of topics covered.
  • *Margie*
    My favorite podcast as a high school counselor
    Love listening to Lauren’s podcasts as I take a morning walk. They energize me professionally and always include a few ideas I can implement immediately. Strongly recommend!
  • Kamira Pillay
    My FAVORITE self-care activity!!!
    I LOVE listening to this podcast first thing in the morning when I am getting ready for my day! I also really enjoy listening on my way to work, I commute and so this podcast really helps make this time productive! I find Lauren’s insight really helpful as a first-year counselor and this is truly a integral part of my self-care routine! This podcast makes me so excited about the profession I am entering!
  • Jmassic
    Great for Counselors, Teachers, AND Administrators!
    Lauren’s podcast is full of relatable and easy-to-implement ideas for counselors, teachers and administrators. As a former teacher and middle school assistant principal, I am either laughing and/or nodding during each episode (and on IG). I had the privilege of being a guest on Lauren’s podcast and she was extremely professional, but also VERY easy to talk to. I felt like her preparation made all the difference in creating valuable content for her listeners! —Khristen Massic, CTE Teaching Strategies
  • Britgirl222

  • Mj192634
    Finally, a podcast for “us!”
    As a secondary counselor- it’s been so nice to have a podcast from one counselor to another. Lauren has a way of making you feel like you’ve known her for forever and it’s truly a conversation. When I listen to this podcast, I really feel like you’re “in” the counseling clique 💁🏻‍♀️
  • superfish19
    Great content
    If you are a high school counselor, listen to this ASAP. The episodes are short but packed with so much great content. In fact our team listens to this during our meetings.

    Great Resource!
    This podcast is such an incredible resource and a goldmine of information for HS counselors. Lauren is so knowledgeable and had great ideas to help HS counselors work smarter not harder.
