Episode 213: Pause to Ponder - Emotional Hygiene & Pollution

In this episode of The Counter Narrative Podcast, I take a moment to reflect on the importance of emotional hygiene and how unchecked emotions can lead to emotional pollution in our schools and relationships. Inspired by a session with Jennifer Abrams, author of Stretching Your Learning Edges, I explore how these two concepts can impact our classrooms and staff rooms, using Pigpen from Peanuts as a metaphor for the emotional “dust” we carry. Tune in as I share practical steps to maintain emotional hygiene, build healthier school environments, and foster more meaningful connections with students and colleagues.
