Emotional intelligence isn’t just for students – it’s a game-changer for school psychologists, too.

In this episode, I sit down with Serena Renee, a former school psych turned leadership and trauma coach, to talk about how understanding our emotions can transform how we lead, advocate, and collaborate.

From setting boundaries without guilt to shifting negative self-talk into curiosity, Serena shares practical strategies for building stronger relationships with colleagues, parents, and students.

Whether you’re brand new to the field or leading a team, you’ll walk away with tools to manage stress, build confidence, and create a healthier, more sustainable way to work.
