21. Christmas 2025: What if the Grinch Never Stole Christmas?

What if the Grinch never stole Christmas?We often remember the Grinch as the villain of the story—but what if stealing Christmas was the very thing that ended his isolation? In this episode, we reexamine a familiar holiday tale through a trauma-informed, human lens and explore what it teaches us about belonging, behavior, and connection.For teachers, this conversation goes deeper than a children’s story. It’s about the students who act out to be seen, the educators who quietly withdraw, and the cost of isolation in our schools. If you’ve ever wondered what behavior is really communicating—or how connection can change everything—this episode is for you.Want more? Register for my workshops starting Feb 5, 2026.
