Meet my world, Maddie Jo. I’ve never been happier.

My therapist said:

“It’s a pandemic. Everyone is dealing with a lot. Learning to say ‘no’ without feeling obligated to say why is one of the purest and deepest forms of self-care.”

I felt that deeply in the utter depths of my soul.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

Mental health for years has been stigmatized. We can’t help people if we aren’t talking about it. It’s okay to feel your feelings—you have them for a reason. And this year has brought a LOT of feelings to a LOT of people. You’re not alone.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

I get more direct answers back when I’m not nervous to ask a student if they are suicidal. They pick up on that and it makes them feel like it’s wrong. It’s not wrong. It’s a feeling and one I want to know about.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

Today I had an NST for my baby. No big deal. During intake the nurse said, “Sorry it makes me ask this....have you have any thoughts of suicide?”
Don’t ever apologize. It’s okay to just ask. Have you had thoughts of suicide lately? It’s okay for it to be in our vocabulary.

I wish everyone outside of a school system knew how much we invest in and love their kids. Our teachers go above and beyond on a normal year, but this year even more so.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

My job isn’t about being comfortable, because hard things are typically pretty uncomfortable. My job is to stand up for marginalized populations and be an advocate and safe place for those students. It’s really challenging to navigate, but I truly try my best.

Wishing Christian County would have masking mandated. We need our kids to stay in school, and our numbers are problematic.

[Steve Edwards @SDECoxHealth]

Christian county testing statistics showing worrisome symptomatic positivity rate. Public health measures are necessary.

Wow I LOVE when teachers give me good input about 504’s. I love the teamwork of helping students and preparing them for their future. It may be weird, I just think 9th grade is a fun transition for 504’s as we prep them for college or trade school!

When you are relishing in a quiet, slow morning...and then it turns out google just wasn’t working. So many emails 😳😅

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

It’s 3:30 in the morning. My baby is doing somersaults in my stomach. My husband comes home for a week today. I just remembered we are ordering Spring Creek for lunch today and I’m very, very happy with my world.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

As a school counselor, I do whatever I can to protect kids every day. That’s why I just cancelled my Netflix. #cancelnetflix I won’t support a platform that encourages pedophilia. I’m appalled and very disturbed by the clip I have just seen.

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

Do you know how sets work? I do. I’ve directed some of the biggest stars in the world. A director on the Cuties set and a choreographer told 11 year olds to simulate sexual moves repeatedly. What they did should have them charged and registered as sex offenders. #CancelNetflix

@erinnbeth Omg Erinn 🤦🏼‍♀️😱

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

The emails streaming in from parents telling me how great their child’s first day was....🥰🥰🥰🥰 I missed our students!!!

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

TL;DR study show confiding in others a major protective factor in reducing depression. Social support is huge for mental health. https://t.co/LE9PAOUzz7

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

I am so excited for school tomorrow. I love my job. It’s been completely exhausting but when the kids come—every second is worth it.

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

It’s the busy hustle before school starts around here....x10! I live for busy days. Crushing out new student schedules all day long! Surprised at how productive I am after working until midnight last night! Will I possibly be home by nine tonight??? :)

[Mollie Wilson @MrsWilsonOJHS]

@alix__tate @SandraLoganPhD Totallyyyyy shifted my perspective. It’s a VERY necessary thing to do this year/this time of year!
