Two counselors trade jokes about inbox guilt, dying Durangos, and overpowered espresso while wrestling with a deeper question: how much real life belongs in the classroom. We explore program culture, student shock, and what it takes to build identity, grit, and readiness for hard cases.

• inbox pressure, family interruptions, and guilt
• digital clutter vs responsibility to students
• humor as relief and as teaching tool
• old car frugality and tradeoffs in priorities
• guest plans and student-centered goals
• boundaries around oversharing in class
• the value of honest case examples
• program culture: grit, support, and balance
• supervision during tough cases and growth
• helping students find authentic clinical identity

We got a guest speaker coming in next week
For the following three weeks we got a guest speaker

Two counselors trade jokes, parent stories, and supervision lessons while wrestling with a simple truth: everyone needs real feedback. We talk about clean wins, messy systems, and how saying “good job” can change students, clinicians, and kids.

• late start, banter, and ACA mic confession
• supervision realities, randomness versus fit, ethical referral
• parenting story on cheating, grit, and clean competition
• raising “everywhere kids” and a shift toward 90s-style freedom
• faculty transparency, what we share and why
• the need to name strengths without losing rigor
• moving from ego validation to usefulness and calibration
• awards, humility practice, and trust as the new metric
• parallel needs for validation between educators and students
• closing notes on worksheets, cadence, and upcoming guest

We got a guest speaker next week, yeah. We got a guest speaker next week, yeah.

A hike-time call from Pop-Pop, a birthday cookie “failure” that turns into a win, and a catastrophic Lego implosion set the stage for a conversation clinicians rarely hear plainly: some supervisors grow you, and some supervise to manage risk—and the difference matters. We trade stories that are funny and a little painful, then map them onto the realities of clinical training: reflective supervision vs documentation-first oversight, what “stagnant” or oversaturated supervision looks like, and why expecting growth from a role built for compliance can leave you feeling unseen.

We break down the two lanes with compassion. Managers keep clinics safe—billing straight, notes clean, risk low. Growers get into the weeds—countertransference, values, person-of-the-therapist, and how your history shows up in the room. The best supervisors flex between both, but many settings reward one side. That mismatch isn’t always incompetence; it’s incentive and identity. If you’re a supervisee stuck in a manager-heavy site, we offer scripts to name your need without burning bridges, ways to split the lanes (do compliance there, find growth elsewhere), and how to sit with “sucky” sites while learning what you’ll never emulate. If you supervise, we invite you to self-scan for oversaturation, explain your choices to model thinking, and shift from “try my way” to “find your way.”

Under the humor is a simple promise: you can get the support you need by being specific about the support you need. Bring your notes ready, ask for 15 minutes of reflective work, build a consult circle, and protect your professional reputation while your clinical voice emerges. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague who’s navigating supervision, and leave a quick review telling us what kind of supervision helps you grow.
