The "Cook" Is In The Kitchen - A Conversation with CAPS Assistant Director

We managed to find time for CAPS very busy Assistant Director,
Avery Cook, to join us on the Pod.  Avery was joined by
Maya, the CAPS therapy dog and real star of CAPS.  For those
who are interested you can check Maya out on the CAPS website and
on Instagram.  She has some wonderful glamour shots.
 This episode was amazing!  We learned so much about
Avery.  Her journey through sports, divinity school,
teaching, social work, and finally, arrival in college counseling
and mental health.  What an incredible journey and life
lived.  Avery discusses staying calm in a crisis, and ways
the smallest help can turn things around when life feels at its
most out of control. We discuss how faith and queer identities
can coexist, challenging a commonly held belief that a person
must relinquish one of those identities in order to fully embrace
the other.  Keep listening until the end of the podcast for
the return of our "Just Stop It!' segment where Avery "cancels"
self-care.  This is a podcast filled with humor, revelation,
and insight.  We were all energized by the discussion,
reminding us why we started the podcast in the first place.
 We are happy to share this special episode with you.
 Enjoy!
