For our season finale, we’ve got Mom on the pod! Lydia Brenneman was a school psychologist in St. Marys, Ohio for 19 years. She talks to us first about the (8!) different colleges she went to and how she shifted from an interest in medicine to psychology (2:20). Then she shares about how, after serving for two years in Palestine, she began her work as a school psychologist: what it was like, how it changed over her career, and how it compares to private school (8:32). We also talk about the ways counseling and school psychology overlap and how teachers should handle students with learning differences, before getting to mom’s career move to go to seminary and eventually become a chaplain (16:35). Mom tells us not a funny story but one of the many jokes she would use for comic relief in the hospital, and then Jameel has one last crack at the trivia question (25:00).
