S2 E2: Unlearning, Rebuilding, and Embracing Growth with Valerie Weiss

In a world that loves to slap on labels and put people in boxes, today’s students are coming out of years of disruption—not broken, but weighed down by expectations that don’t always fit. This conversation is about shaking off the stories that no longer serve us, unlearning the false identities we’ve been handed, and building real emotional resilience. It’s about finding that edge—the place where you’re stretched but not shattered—and learning to trust yourself there.Join Molly and Chelsea for a conversation with an old friend - Val Weiss, Wellness Director at the College for Creative Studies (CCS), early supporter of Tuning the Student Mind, and a roller derby queen. This podcast is for  educators and students alike - an invitation to move beyond just getting by and a reminder to have some fun along the way. Let’s talk about self-accountability, human connection, and the courage to "do it scared." Because the next chapter isn’t about playing by the old rules—it’s about rewriting them.
