• “Say What!?”
    May 28 2025

    This month on the pod, we’re diving into the wonderful (and sometimes wobbly) world of communication! Whether it’s between team members, across the whole home, or just figuring out what’s going on in our own heads, let’s be honest, we all think we’re great at talking… until we’re not! 😅


    Turns out, communication’s not just about what we say, it’s how, when, and why we say it. And when those wires get crossed? Yep, things can get messy. So join our panel as we unpack the hiccups, the hidden layers, and the laughs behind the way we connect (or don’t!) in residential care.

These moments are signs of hope and healing, even when trauma feels overwhelming. It’s easy to get caught up in the negatives, but it’s just as important to notice the positives—the glimmers—in both life and the work we do.
