The Life of the Salon - Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 Episode 8

About this episode

A visiting instructor at Starfleet Academy helps cadets process trauma while one cadet faces a life-altering challenge.

A visiting instructor arrives at the Academy and uses an unorthodox method to help our cadets process the emotions of recent trauma. At the same time, a cadet faces an unexpected challenge that will alter the trajectory of her life forever. The Salon is a group of Trek fans all over the US & Canada who originally met on Twitter. What started as a weekly twitter space has grown into our podcast talking about the latest episodes and various themes. We hope you enjoy the chaos and set an intention!
