Don’t Outsource What You Can Transform

Stop the Flip. Connect instead of disconnect.

When a student is misbehaving or acting weird, it’s tempting to “flip” them to the school counselor—offload the problem, regain control. Every classroom teacher has a student they hope takes a sick day. It can be a relief to have that sudent… gone. Disconnected from the classroom.

What if connection (instead of disconnection) is the most powerful response? Recovery after trauma doesn’t always need treatment—it needs healthier relationship. When you recognize all behavior is communication, and step aside from taking it personally, it’s easy to stop reaching for the eject button and start listening a different way. Maybe even learn some new ways of thinking. Yes, counselors are vital—for at most 25% of the students who are having difficulty. The other 75%? They need us, the big people, to think about them in a different way: to see their behavior as their best effort at solving a problem, some pain or bind we don’t know about. And it may just be easier to outsource that student’s pain.

And what about the instinct to outsource your pain?

Educators silently carry fear, anxiety, grief, overwhelm, and other impacts from things that overwhelm them. Early on, you learn it's easy to compartmentalize—teach now, feel later. Or don’t feel at all. Or make the feelings someone else’s. The challenge? Lobbing emotional pain to the sidelines (or out of the park) often means it sneaks and leaks back in uninvited. What if you practiced The Wise Pause? A moment to notice … to quietly recognize that difficult behavior touches something in you—an old wound, exhaustion, past powerlessness, feelings of inadequacy. You don’t have to fix it in that moment. Just witness it. Befriend it instead of outsourcing it.

I grew up in the DISD school system in Dallas and enjoyed all the standard fare from those sweet lunch ladies, including chicken fried steak, pizza, Salisbury steak, and those amazing hot rolls with butter.

I mirrored that diet for nearly 40 years afterward, and it resulted in both mental and physical health issues. Once I realized the importance of plants in my diet, things began to shift from getting off of SSRIs to dropping over a hundred pounds.

I then realized I loved all animals, just like dogs and cats, so I stopped eating them over nine years ago, and yes, my protein levels are perfect.

As it turns out, humans are drawn to the flavors of plants, as well as smoke, char, and salt. It is not the meat at all, but rather the plants that surround it. Think about whatever you enjoy eating, such as chops, filets, sandwiches, and burgers. It's the flavor of plants that we're really after, but we've been sold on a meat vehicle, and that chew is now a familiar and favorable part of the experience. Once I learned in 2017 that beef is our second-largest export, it bothered me, as I had realized at that time that I love a cow as much as I love a dog. So, rather than bemoaning the facts, I decided to change it and began formulating plant-based jerky to recreate that chew, launching It’s Jerky Y’all in May 2018. To date, we have sold over 85,000 pounds of plant-based meats, equivalent to approximately 500,000 bags of our retail products.

We are now making our bacony and cheesy bits, as well as our jerky, available for food service. All of our products are certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan, appealing to a broader audience. We lead with often unique and always bold flavors loaded with truly clean protein. You can Snack it, Top it, and Cook it. We even offer a cookbook to demonstrate how easily our plant-based proteins can be incorporated into all meals and snacks. A portion of every bag we sell goes to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary here in Texas, which is the first cattle operation turned animal sanctuary in the world. If you care about sustainability, it's great to know we use less than 10% of the water, land, and fuel to produce our products compared to beef.
