In this episode, I review with you important takeaways from past interviews with experts about the trauma that you can use to support both yourself and your students, and I share how I’ve used the Serenity Prayer to tackle some drama in my own life. I also dive into what drama sounds like on social media and in real life and ways that you can be strong AND vulnerable so that you have the SERENITY to accept the things you can't change and the COURAGE to change the things you can move forward in your teaching and personal life.
