October 5, 2023 Season 4 Episode 10 Minnesota, United States: Allie Birdseye-Hannula has the heart of a teacher and a curious nature that helps her keep learning and growing. Self-awareness and practical self-reflection are strengths she relies on to improve her youth work skills. Through trial and error, she developed communication tools to engage more effectively with youth who are demonstrating prickly personalities in the moment. And she’s turned her learning into a book she hopes will help other youth workers, too. Allie’s book is available on her website www.howtotalktoporcupines.com or from Itasca Books local distribution center. Also available on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.  Accessibility Options: Watch the unedited video interview with subtitles or read the edited podcast transcript by visiting this podcast's web page.
