In 1989, a 23-year-old social worker started teaching classes and researching a topic nobody wanted to touch. For 21 years, almost nobody outside her department read her work.

If you’re a teacher wondering if your students are listening, a parent who can’t tell if anything is landing, a pastor whose sermons feel like they’re falling on deaf ears, or a creative whose work gets 12 likes, this episode is for you. Sometimes you get to see the difference you made. Sometimes you just have to trust that it’s happening anyway.
