What happens when two school psychology podcasts sit down together? A conversation packed with leadership insight, podcast behind-the-scenes moments, and honest reflections on the people shaping our field.

In this crossover episode, The School Collective Podcast teams up with the Boston School Psychs Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about advocacy, collaboration, and what they’ve learned from giving school psychologists a platform to share their work. Together, the group talks about using podcasts to translate research into practice, highlight unsung heroes, and build stronger professional communities across districts and states.

The discussion explores innovative leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the ways school psychologists are creating space for connection and growth. The hosts also share memorable NASP conference stories, influential mentors who shaped their careers, and how conversations with guests have changed their own practice.

Of course, no crossover episode is complete without some off-the-clock energy. The conversation wraps with fun rapid-fire questions, future collaboration ideas, and plans to connect in person at upcoming conferences.

This episode is a celebration of community in school psychology—what happens when practitioners connect, share ideas, and amplify each other’s work beyond their own districts and roles.
