EXCERPT FROM PODCAST
“It’s such a 911 situation. And I think we’ve got kind of parallel tracks in terms of what can each of us do to manage our internal world so the external world feels manageable and at the same time, engage with the powers that be so that the more structural issues are also attended to because I get worried about that teachers and people in general feeling like we’re saying, ‘Hey, just fix this with self care.’ when there are really massive structural issues at play.”
