The mics crack back on with a messy, honest reset: a health scare, a mountain of sleep debt, and the kind of parenting moments that test your pulse and soften your edges. We traded hustle for recovery long enough to notice what was broken—and what actually makes us useful as counselors, teachers, and humans. Between 4 a.m. wake-ups and dense homemade bread, we started building a better way to teach and a bolder way to podcast.

We share the launch of our new book, Mind Your Business: Merging Meaningful Work With Financial Wisdom, and why financial clarity is ethical care. If counselors want longevity, clients need helpers who aren’t running on fumes. That urgency pulls us back into the classroom too. Taking over a core applied techniques course, we’re centering reflective content, feeling, and meaning. For weeks, students will move sessions with reflections only—no questions—training presence, patience, and precision. Techniques have a place, but craft is what holds when the room gets hard.

We also reveal the next evolution of the show: a question-led investigative series that follows one thorny issue at a time with interviews, data, and real stories. Are online counseling programs genuinely effective? Why are conferences so expensive yet so thin on depth? Where’s the line between play therapy and babysitting? How do politics live in session without hijacking care? What’s the difference between a clinician and a technician—and why do some people graduate who shouldn’t? We’ll chase answers that help students, supervisors, and practitioners make better choices.

Thanks for riding with us while the numbers kept climbing during the break. If you’re into counselor training, supervision, reflective practice, and the honest economics of caring work, you’re in the right place. Hit follow, share with a colleague who needs a reset, and leave a review with the one big question you want us to investigate next.

We sit down with Jake, an ER clinician and private practice counselor, to unpack crisis work, clinical pressure, and the moving target of purpose. We dig into the craft of change talk, why discomfort is often the doorway, and how authenticity protects both clients and clinicians.

• ER counseling triage explained and decision points for admission
• System limits, moral stress and taking hard calls home
• Grit, competition and the urge to over-engage in sessions
• Purpose as a moving target across seasons of life
• Mantras for change and using discomfort thoughtfully
• Rupture risk when confronting identity versus behavior
• Building clinical authenticity and ditching the therapist persona
• Supervision that sharpens judgment and voice
• Burnout signs, bandwidth management and honest pacing

We pull back the curtain on how space, funding, and proximity shape counseling education, arguing that dedicated, coherent homes make safer clinics and stronger clinicians. Humor lightens the load as we unpack real trade-offs, practical design, and why proximity is pedagogy.

• why scattered programs strain safety, supervision and morale
• what a dedicated counseling home includes and why it matters
• how funding models and “internal rent” distort priorities
• the link between proximity and emergency response
• cohort pathways, predictable schedules and faculty access
• culture-building through living room vibes and shared spaces
• confidentiality risks of sharing clinical work in common buildings
• competitive admissions, program identity and student belonging
