Getting straight to the "so what?" of Psychology. I'm passionate about bringing practical tools from psychological science to people of all backgrounds.

I am a college educator and business owner with a passion for empowerment through holistic education. As co-founder of Empowered Pathways LLC, I design innovative professional development training for counselors. I also teach college courses in the disciplines of Psychology and General Education and build innovative curriculum for online learning. I have worked as a counselor and mental health outreach specialist in multiple settings as well. My current professional and research interests include emerging adulthood, adolescent mental health, identity development, college success, and posttraumatic growth. As a podcast guest, I enjoy tackling big-picture concepts in a nuanced and accessible way. I bring relatable examples and a bit of humor to the conversation. Previous podcast guest appearances include: • Inspired Women Podcast, episode “Posttraumatic Growth Featuring Brynne Schroeder” • In Your Words Podcast, episode “Gift of Words Series: Universities and Community Engagement” For more detail on my professional experience and published work, please visit my website: https://sites.google.com/view/drbrynneschroeder/home
