    Counselors Dream with Carol Miller
    This podcast is super easy to listen to for one thing I’ve never enjoyed trying to learn and not even understand what they are saying… this podcast is not like that!! Super simple tips, tricks, and sooooo many ideas! I learn something in every podcast… one of my favorites is the overcommitment podcast and learning it’s okay to say no. Counselors are natural helpers and this has given my mental health some relief and made time for what’s important, my students! This podcast is a counselors dream..10/10 recommend :).

    Thank you Carol for creating this informative podcast. It has been a great help as a new counselor to get this insight from someone I’ve been following for a while.

    Anxiety Activities
    Love the ideas for the activities from the anxiety episode. Anxiety is one of the most prevalent issues that I see with my students, and having lots of activities on hand is helpful. One of my favorite suggestions was the musical chairs idea. Thanks for sharing!

    Enjoying the why and ideas

    Great anxiety tips!
    Great podcast! I really liked the anxiety tips. I work in a school in a very affluent neighborhood, and the students are under a lot of pressure from their families. Anxiety is a big, big problem on my campus. I look forward to using Carols tips to help my students!
  • GSBHWV
    Thank you!
    Being a counselor is often a lonely job. You are often the only counselor in you building and you don’t have the opportunity to PLC, staff, or just bounce ideas off of colleagues. This podcast provides an opportunity to the bear the voices of other counselors.
  • Ctamu
    Exciting!
    I’ve enjoyed this podcast. I’m currently in first year as a middle school counselor and found Caroline Miller when looking for resources to help. I was excited to see she started a podcast as she is one of my favorite resources. My why for being a school counselor is to help my students to know who they are and guide them through some of the hardest times in their younger years.

    1st year school counselor
    As a first year school counselor, I could not thank Carol enough for these. She is so knowledgeable. I like to listen to these while doing my cardio at the gym. She is amazing and I would recommend her resources/podcasts to anyone!
  • SCBillsluv
    Love this podcast!
    I have listened to all of the episodes and they are very helpful. I love how Carol shares very useful tips and tricks and even provides links for the resources she suggests. As a less experienced counselor, this is so helpful. Carol is so knowledgeable and truly knows what we need as school counselors. I look forward to more episodes!

    Essential tips I can implement easily!
    I’m so excited for this podcast! As a new school counselor, I find it difficult to plan activities and groups as I overthink and over complicate. Hearing this podcast has helped me realize how simplified I can be yet still have a meaningful impact on our students learning. Thank you Carol!

  • Aj71511
    Relevant!
    Hi, Listened to the first episode on classroom behaviors and about halfway through she mentioned how kids need to be involved in the BIP to really get buy in, as well as parents so they can collaborate with the school. Simple points, but things we often forget as support services in the school! Love the client centered approach!

    Great information for counselors!
    I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work in schools. This is great, research based information to use with my students. I like that the links are in the comments so that I’m easily able to find the resources she mentions. I am always wanting to learn new counseling techniques and this podcast is great for hands on ideas.

    Review of Podcast Release
    Thank you Carol for always sharing your knowledge and tips. Congratulations on starting your podcast!!! I loved that your podcast segments were short and straight to the point. Definitely something that I can manage to fit into my busy schedule. The behavior and anxiety tips as well as the resources you provided at the end (e.g., force choice board survey) were simple and very helpful. I look forward to bringing some of these tips back to school, especially the worry stone idea.

    Episode 2 review, also looking for my magic wand!
    On Spring Break this week and I really wanted to take some time and spend it on professional development. This was awesome to listen to! Simple, short and to the point especially for a newer school counselor. Episode 2 really hit home - teachers are always looking for my magic wand and I feel like I am drowning at times to find all of the answers. This was extremely helpful and I appreciated the recap at the end of the video :)

    Looking forward to more from this school counseling podcast!!
    As a newish school counselor, I’ve been sampling school counseling podcasts over the past few months. Carol has a nice voice and her podcast is well-organized but the thing that excites me most is that Carol is a PRACTICING SCHOOL COUNSELOR!! She’s still in the field and those are the school counselors I really want to hear from! I appreciate her sharing her time and expertise and look forward to good things to come!

    So good!
    Thank you for the great content so far. I am new to the schools as a counselor and love having podcasts to listen to for helpful strategies and to help normalize some of my feelings when I have tough days. I am confident that some of these strategies will be helpful each day in my school. Thanks again.
  • Ksd-counselor
    Inspiring & Helpful & to the point
    I appreciate the brief episodes. It’s very nice to listen to a quick podcast with ideas I can take back and impliment into my practice. Some of the things I’ve already tried but the podcast gave me ideas to tweak or change up with links included for easy access. I love how she takes topics that other School Counselors are interested too.
