Episode 43 - Tough Love
In this episode, we broach the subject of self-image in a different light and talk about where would-be advocates and their role models might be holding themselves back.
Join Mihai and Lindsey Mazza as they discuss the hard road to becoming one's own advocate in the face of a lifetime of adversity. They talk about the enabling role of allies and impart three key lessons for actors in education: the value of problem-solving and a strong self-image for students, the teacher's power to instill confidence or destroy it, and the parents' role in modelling self-advocacy, most importantly by supporting their children in taking up their own battles.
