I'm thrilled to introduce you this week to the most special of all special guests: my mom, Vicki Collet!
Vicki is an an associate professor of elementary education who also teaches doctoral courses in literacy studies. Before her work in teacher preparation, she taught in kindergarten through 12th grade and worked as a literacy coach and district curriculum coordinator. She is passionate about choosing language to positive effect, and has always been an example to me of speaking highly of the gift of giving life. In this episode, she shares her thoughts about the power of words and inheriting and passing on positive figured worlds about birth.
