Episode Overview: Stairway thoughts are thoughts you have as soon as you leave a meeting or end a discussion. It’s some of the language used in Grey Box Collective to allow for ease of cyclical communication. In this episode, Molly shares the stairway thoughts that have creeped in since recording the majority of the episodes. It’s a little all over the place as a heads-up, but hopefully you find the meandering journey thought-provoking.

Episode Overview: This episode addresses how trauma has become somewhat of a trend and offers a poignant moment of reflection to counter the flood of information out there around what it means to be trauma-informed. This episode has a bit of a tough love vibe to it, so highly recommend taking some time to ground and center yourself before listening.

Episode Overview: This episode was actually a late addition to the series but after a recent workshop and some deep reflection (which is common after each TICP workshop), it felt like a necessary question to pose and connect some perhaps unexpected dots between thoughts of motivation and scope-of-practice.
