Atoms & Sidequest…..

Beth and George catch up with laughs and raw honesty: vacation tales, cowbells at St. Jude, and a comedic calendar misunderstanding kick off a show that quickly lands in the serious. They dig into the new SAFE model rollout, questioning its training, state-to-state inconsistencies, and how it might both curb investigator overreach and inadvertently put kids at risk. The hosts reflect on burnout, post-vacation email overload, and the tension between innovation and practical answers front-line workers need. Through humor they illuminate why clear communication and accountability matter for families and staff alike.
