What do you do when students don’t care… and nothing seems to work?

In this Listener Questions episode, Stacy responds to two powerful questions from educators facing what feels like an epidemic—rising anxiety, depression, and student apathy in today’s classrooms.

Instead of quick fixes, this conversation goes deeper.

Stacy unpacks:

•  Why traditional consequences and reward systems aren’t working anymore 
•  How screen exposure and the pandemic have shaped today’s nervous systems 
•  The hidden impact of a relational deficit in students’ lives 
•  Why apathy is often a protective response—not defiance
•  What actually moves students from shutdown to engagement 

This episode is a grounded, real conversation about what educators are up against—and where real change begins.

If you’ve ever thought, “Nothing is working,” this one is for you.
