We’re in an interesting time in history, and when things are uncertain in the world, it’s hard to find the doorway to positivity and optimism. However, if we add positivity to our toolbelt, we have one more thing to reach for when times get tough. Today, let’s talk about that intersection of positivity and reality, and listen to a short story about the power of choices when it comes to finding – and sharing – a bit of happiness in this wild world.

E83 A Reminder of the Power of Touch…in Times When We Can’t Touch as Much

We aren’t touching as much as we used to. And that’s difficult, because there are so many benefits to touch. When touch does come back, there are some things you can do, right in everyday life, to find some connection and, just maybe, some relief. And with Biotouch, there are some things you can do for yourself today to bring relief until you can have contact with others.

Today, we revisit Paul Bucky of Biotouch as he shares the incredible story of how he discovered a powerful technique that he believes can change health, and the world.

Research has found a potential link between mindfulness and forgiveness. This points to even more powerful benefits for mindfulness practice. In this episode, we’ll talk about three of them, including letting go and creating more space for empathy. You can change your whole life if you simply change your perspective.

In these days of COVID-19, we’re taking a new look at our old ways of living. And all of us – no matter who or where we are – are being asked to give something up. Sometimes, a lot of things. And since we’re in the days of Ramadan, it seemed like a natural time to think again about the idea of giving things up in the name of personal and spiritual growth. And, just maybe, in the name of balance.

On this episode, we talk a little bit about these times we’re living it, and then we re-visit an old episode about the power of sacrifice by way of fasting…a sacrifice that brings other rewards as we give up something we think we love to get something bigger.

I'm digging into the vault at this Passover/Easter season for a good reminder of ways we can be humble, and deflate the ego.

---

Matzo as a symbol for finding freedom from an inflated ego? Yes! Discover how this unleavened bread can help you practice humility and release you from festering issues in your life.

This Easter and Passover season, join us as we ponder humble matzo - the flatbread eaten at Passover Seders the world over. We'll look at matzo as more than a bland cracker. Instead, we'll see it as a metaphor for freedom and a powerful reminder of the importance of deflating the ego. The show also features a meditation on matzo that you can use to help tame ego in your life.

Wondering what secrets matzo can reveal to you? Wondering how you can get started taming your ego and increasing your feeling of freedom? Then join us!

This is part two of our interview with healers and clairvoyants Michael Tamura and Raphaelle Tamura, where we continue our conversation on the journey and joys of a life in healing, including working as a spiritual couple and the power of relationships.

We’ll also discuss forgiveness, the nature of the ego and consciousness, imagination, creativity, and navigating the difficult world of growth. The Tamuras also share a powerful technique for facilitating forgiveness and centeredness at the deepest levels.

If we’re lucky, we meet people in our lives who get us unstuck and help us pursue avenues to healing and growth we never thought possible. J. A. met two of those people at once, and now, it’s a pleasure to interview them on the show in part one of this two-part episode!

Michael Tamura and Raphaelle Tamura are healers and clairvoyants who truly live the miracle. Their experiences may sound like the stuff of myth and legend, but they live their truth in an open and honest way to help others find the courage to get on their paths of healing and success.

Find out how these extraordinary teachers started on their healing paths in this life. Where did their training being? Did they ever doubt their abilities? How does a spiritual healing start? Does our intuition ever lie to us? What effect does a near death experience have on our soul? Why do we keep coming back from death?

Listen in for answers to these questions, and so much more!

The concept of “nobody” has evolved on this show, and so have we! Recently, J. A. had the opportunity to speak on the TEDx stage on the idea of being nobody, and we wanted to share the experience with you! Today, we talk about a different – but ancient – vision for what nobody can be: service, mindfulness, and holding space. Nobody isn’t the absence of being somebody. It’s a broader concept of who we are, and what we can be. Hopefully this episode inspires you to expand your vision of the nobody concept, as well, to make this world a better place.

It's the season of pulling weeds around here, and I was talking to someone recently about how to pull them in a mindful way. That inspired me to revisit this episode...E5...from April, 2018. I hope you enjoy!

I want to show you how easily you can incorporate this powerful tool of mindfulness into your everyday life. I didn't intend to go down this path today, but when I crossed the mundane task of yard work with the extraordinary power of mindfulness, well...I knew I had to share it with you.

I describe for you how a mindful mindset accompanied me around the yard this morning as I got tools from the garage, watered trees, and raked debris. Sound boring? It's anything but. It was actually quite extraordinary.

What if you died, came back, and realized that life wasn’t about judging ourselves or others but, instead, being loving? What if you realized that life was about seeing in ourselves and others all that is divine about being alive?

Tricia Barker did leave her body through a near death experience during a life-saving surgery and saw angels helping physicians operate on her. She flat lined, and she knew she was “technically dead.” Was there sorrow? No. Only a spirit of adventure, and a knowledge of the truth of kindness and everlasting love.

In Tricia's book, Angels in the OR, she shares the story of her powerful transformation. She gives us details of her near death experience and the insights she brought back from the “other side” – including a description of God, angels, and the life review.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about my personal mindfulness/meditation practice. So, I thought I’d put up a replay of E13 (6/10/18) for a review of four key steps to mindful meditation.

Can't stop thoughts? You can still practice mindful meditation. Hear a 4-step approach to accepting thoughts in meditation and discover how this simple process can work for you, even if you can't stop thinking about thinking! Dive into the concept of mindful meditation and learn a little about its history. Find out what thoughts and toddlers have in common. Find the inspiration to start your a new practice, or reinvigorate your existing practice.

From a life of poverty and abuse to the glamor and celebrity of the Las Vegas Strip, Linda Smith has lived quite a life. But when her son was born with special needs, that’s when her true passion and calling kicked in and Linda made an enormous impact, raising hundreds of millions of dollars to help those in need.

Linda taught herself to dance. She found the courage to find her voice. She overcame a harrowing 17-year journey of setbacks and politics to win a victory for what was right for her son, Christopher. And, she wrote Unwanted: How a Mother Learned to Turn Shame, Grief, and Fear into Purpose, Passion, and Empowerment. Now, nothing can stop her from raising others up. Hear about a life trajectory that led to the Christopher Smith Foundation and a legacy of love and support that will last for generations.

SHOW NOTES:

January 1, 2020 is on the way, and with it comes New Year’s resolutions. That’s right…those things we promise ourselves we’ll get to on January 1, but then leave behind on January 2. But what would happen if we focused on today instead of the year? What if we resolved to do something small that we could find a little time for each day to help us build to something bigger, instead of picking some goal that’s really big to begin with?

In this episode, we’ll share a little about what we want to do in the new year, and how we’ll be approaching resolutions a little differently. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be inspired to go small this year, right along with us!

No matter if you’re vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, or a carnivore at the holidays, this is the show for you. From school lunch trays, to two holy brothers, to Melissa chasing J. A. around with a spoonful of tomatoes, there’s something here for everyone.

It’s holiday time! And that means billions of people will have billions of different experiences of all that this season brings. But one thing that unites so many of us? Food! From ancient times, gathering around a communal meal has held tremendous power. Food can be exciting, it can be daunting, it can be nourishing, but whatever it is for you, it’s part of this time of year.

Food is a big deal in our household, and we’ve come to realize there is a way to experience this holiday season besides either strict discipline or unabashed indulgence. It’s about deciding what experience you want to have over the holidays and committing to that, while also understanding others have their own expectations.

When life brought her an opportunity to live a dream, Patricia Brooks took it. And it took her far away – from the United States to the south of France. Patricia had to find the courage to walk away from her corporate job so she could take a bold new step forward. And she did.

Patricia went on to write “Live a Bold Life: Your 30-Day Mission to a Fearless Future” and host The Courage Catalyst podcast. Now, she helps inspire others to find their courage and live without regrets. Listen in and see if you can take that next step you’ve been wanting to take.

From hospice to cosmetics, Jennifer Leigh has done it. She followed her calling to healing, then to her garage to create a line of skin care products. But when it all went down, and she felt like she couldn’t perform for anyone anymore, Jennifer decided to get back up. She re-entered the world of consulting and became a “pitbull in a dress” and took her life in a new direction – a direction of living through inspiration, intuition, and spiritual growth to create a new life.

When we lose so much, we gain so much more. Listen to Jennifer Leigh’s journey from life performer to life embracer through development of intuition. Maybe get inspired to listen to your intuition on your life journey.

What if you could turn stress into joy? What if there were simple techniques to lessen the pressure and tension of everyday life and overcome worry? What if gratitude could become more than just a passing idea, but a part of your everyday life – a part that can help you live a better life, right now?

Dr. Rozina Lakhani, author of Stress to Joy: Your Toolkit to Restore Peace of Mind in Minutes, has some specific steps and relaxation exercises developed from years of practice with clients in her psychiatric practice. Learn some of these techniques and take advantage of a free offer for listeners of the show.

Mindfulness is such a helpful tool for adults to deal with the stresses and strains of work, parenting, and all the other responsibilities that come with life. But is it any less important for children? What if the techniques of mindfulness could be introduced earlier – to prepare children in the first stages of life to handle what will come later? And what if our calm demeanor could help a child relax or be more aware?

For James Butler, author of Mindful Classrooms and Mindfulness in a Jar, and founder of Mindful Classrooms™, getting mindfulness education into the classrooms is exactly what his mission is all about. James used mindfulness in his own life to help with some personal struggles, and now he wants to share the gift with others. Listen in as James shares his passion for mindfulness as a tool for empowerment, stress relief and self-care, and learn a powerful breathing technique for all of us to use to stay more mindful – at any stage of life.

Starting in one job and finding passion somewhere else – maybe through synchronicity or fate. Trying to make ends meet while doing work that really matters to you. Struggling to live between your job and your passion. Does any of that sound like your story? For Jennifer Noel Taylor, CEO of Quantum Touch, it was her story.

Jennifer started out in the software field, and found herself “bored, lonely, and uninspired.” She pursued her passion for touch and energy medicine after work hours and followed her intuition to the healing profession. Now, she’s spreading the message that we can do, and live, what we love.

Are you ready to follow the breadcrumb trail of your intuition to a new passion? Listen in, learn about Quantum Touch, life changes, and synchronicity – and get inspired!

Our energy travels. Did you know that? What we think and do affects our energy and the energy of those around us. We’re affected by others’ energy, as well. That means we don’t have to own every feeling we have in a day. That also means you have tremendous power right now to change your life, your community, and the world, just by changing your energy. It doesn’t matter whether others in your life are on board or believe you’re experiencing a change. It matters that you know the power you have.

Through real-life examples and real talk, you’ll learn a three-step process to help you figure out how you feel, what energy you truly own, and how to change things up! It’s not theoretical, but something distilled right from the events of a real life in motion. And, you’ll meet someone new who is joining the show – someone who’s had a profound impact on the energy of my life.

If you’re ready to take control of the energy in your life, listen in!

“You have the power to transform people’s lives for the better!” For author and Rebelpreneur Radio host Ralph Brogden, that statement fuels a life mission of mindful messaging – empowering others to find their voice in personal and spiritual growth and master their important message so they can get it out into the world.

Your ideas in personal and spiritual growth matter and they’re worth spreading. If you’re a coach, consultant, author, or simply a person who wants to tell your story – and you’re curious about better ways to spread ideas that matter and to build your confidence around your message – listen in and learn about human behavior, belief, and the best way to craft your key message.

Why do we sabotage our dreams? What is it that makes us drop the ball right when we’re about to win the game? Maybe our thoughts get in the way. Maybe it’s just another chapter in a negative story we’ve been telling ourselves over and over or limiting ideas about who we think we are and what we think we deserve. It could be the result of a trauma somewhere in life that causes us to believe things about ourselves that just aren’t true.

Nathan Segal has been on a spiritual journey since age 11, and later, experienced an awakening and profound shift in his life to help him deal with PTSD and break free of self-sabotage and dissociative amnesia brought on by an early experience that shocked him into a life of sabotage that took him years to recover from.

Now, he helps others learn to live a more productive, fulfilling life free of self-sabotage. Nathan Segal’s story is one of challenge and change, and it may inspire you to reach your goals instead of giving up on them. 

Devina Kaur is the leader of the sexy, brilliant global revolution. After living a life filled with bodyshaming and being told she was “too fat, too loud, too ambitious,” and walking away from a corporate job to walk dogs, Devina embraced herself, and her life, and overcame struggles to find her true center and true passion. Now, she’s breaking molds, breaking boundaries, and bringing a message of joy and freedom to the world.

As Devina admits, there’s always darkness in life. But if we can take a step back from it and understand that others are going through it too, we can take that darkness and use it to help shine a light of help and hope for others. If you’re struggling today because what’s “expected” of you doesn’t feel authentic, let Devina Kaur’s sexy, brilliant message liberate you, and help you find out who you are – your own brilliance!

If the eyes really are the window the soul, then who better to write about spiritual unity than a practicing optometrist? Dr. Margaret Placentra Johnston believes that if we only look at what our local community teaches us about religious practice the we are, in a sense, myopic. Spiritually myopic. She dives deep into this concept and provides insight into how we can get past limiting views, expand our vision, and live a more unified spiritual existence.

Listen in and widen your sight. Move beyond “spiritual myopia” and see the value in others’ practices – practices that unify our human spiritual quest to harmony.

Sometimes out of tragedy, we find hope and purpose. For adventurer Jeff Rasley, a tragedy and narrow escape during a mountaineering expedition in Nepal changed his life forever, leading him to shift his spiritual and psychological perspective and to found the Basa Village Foundation to provide support and opportunities in a remote Nepalese village.

Jeff shares his journey and talks about the profound shifts that happened during what he calls his “midlife crisis” in a way he never expected. Jeff has gone from a career in the law, to the Himalayas, to writing, and to a new way of viewing and helping the world as a “philanthrotrekker.” Hear how tragedy became transition and opportunity, and a profound spiritual and personal shift.

Forgiveness. It’s something we like to talk about, but when it comes to practicing it? Well, that’s not so easy. But for Ana Holub, forgiveness is a critical part of life, and something that she teaches and embodies.

Ana shares her deeply personal journey from a single mom carrying the tremendous weight of baggage and guilt to a seeker of spirit (with Colin Tipping, A Course in Miracles, ho’oponopono and more) who was finally able to not only apply the powerful tool of forgiveness in her own life, but also to share it with others to improve their lives. 

Ana’s background in peace studies, counseling, and dispute resolution have only helped to deepen her commitment as a champion of forgiveness and the power it has to change our lives. Go beyond the playground version of, “I’m sorry,” and “It’s okay,” transcend the victim role, take control, and use forgiveness to go deep into the core of what Ana Holub calls, “ecstatic forgiveness.”

Does our soul speak to us? What can soul languages tell us about our life? When Jennifer Urezzio finally decided to give her life over to her intuition, she became intimately connected to a “deep sense of grace” that she says changed her life. Once she heard her soul language, she found a community that supported her and helped her get into alignment.

Jennifer will share her journey from the corporate world to intuitive and soul language interpreter, talk about her book "Soul Language," and inspire you to create a conscious connection with your soul in a way you never imagined. The language of the soul is constantly being updated and growing. Tap into it now!

When Ina Mohan’s parents faced cancer at the same time, Ina became curious about what a natural, healthy lifestyle could mean for people seeking good health and a happier life. Eventually, she left a high-flying career in the casino and culinary industries and devoted her life to a plant-based lifestyle and helping others reach the pinnacle of health, healing, and happiness.

Today, Ina devotes her life to her message, and does much of that work through her annual Health, Healing & Happiness Expo. Find out what Ina can teach us about living a plant-based, holistic lifestyle, as well as the art of manifesting what you really want in life.

When a doctor told Shawngela Pierce she had a chronic condition that would not get better, she says that created a “disconnect.” And, it changed the course of her life. She became a student of the Law of Attraction and decided to take her health and healing into her own hands. It ultimately led her to write the book, “Healing and the Law of Attraction.”

Law of Attraction and spiritual coach Shawngela Pierce’s journey is one of exploration and discovery. In this episode, she will share how she followed childhood intuitions into health and healing to a path of coaching and helping others discover what she calls “the tools of the universe” to promote a healthier, more fulfilling life. And, she’ll share how she overcame a chronic disease by following her intuition and her knowledge of those tools.

What is the Law of Attraction? How can you use the Law of Attraction in everyday life? How can more questions bring more clarity? How can you connect with source? Listen in and be inspired to raise your life vibration!

“Once I started taking those different stories and looking at them, all of a sudden, the purpose behind all of them seemed to align. I saw this one story behind all of them…they were all connected.”

“What is the purpose of the Passover? Really, it’s a redemption story.”

“Easter is the fulfillment of this long story of redemption.”

“The idea behind Christianity is that there is a redemption and salvation…you’re brought into a rest that was fulfilled through someone else’s work.”

“This is the purpose of redemption – to bring you into this rest, or this completed state of security.”

“Sometimes we get so familiar with things…you just take them for granted. You don’t understand the ‘why’ behind it or the significance.”

“Someone will question, ‘Why do you do this?’ and that’s an unnerving question if you haven’t really thought about it.”

“Don’t just settle for things that seem good to you…look at the reasons behind those beliefs.”

“It was like meeting Jesus again for the first time.”

Today, David Essel has devoted his gift of life to inspiring millions to live life to their highest potential.

Hear David’s unique take on the Law of Attraction, why affirmations and a vision board may not be enough, and find out how you can start living the life of your dreams and why the secret may just lie in asking yourself a few simple questions – questions to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

“I was burning out, leaning heavily on alcohol and cocaine…to sustain my life.”

“Deep depression…when we’re in it…it’s really hard to keep that image when behind the scenes you’re doing self-sabotaging behavior.”

“I knew exactly how and when I was going to take my own life.”

“It’s amazing how we can avoid out own life by distracting ourselves…we are, without a doubt, our worst enemy.”

“I have no gift that no one else who is listening doesn’t have, when it comes to healing and going inside…”

“When you don’t know what to do, ask for help.”

“If you attack your greatest weakness, your whole life will become stronger.”

“Fill your brain with things that are very powerful and potent.”

“Nothing is coincidence…the Universe has your back all the time.”

“So many of us are hyper-sensitive to our environments…immune system inflammation.”

Paul Bucky’s Bio-Touch story has a magical quality. Mythical. It’s the story of how he found a healer in a small town who – through a background of thick smoke, daytime soap operas and a simple touch technique – relieved a pain in Paul that nothing else could. From that moment on, Paul knew he had to learn this technique and share it with the world. To heal the world.

Paul shares a simple tip that he says can change our lives, and all of humanity.

Listen in to Paul’s story and hear how encounters we don’t expect can lead to healing we could never imagine. Paul describes the Bio-Touch technique, tells incredible stories of how it’s helped people, and shares how it can help you today – no pretense, no symbols, no religion or belief required!

“Why was I wishing for everyone to be happy and healthy instead of a bicycle?”

“I was so sick I was taking shots of valium.”

“When you can’t heal yourself, all of a sudden you’re not good enough…God doesn’t love you…”

“If you had a title, I stayed away from it.”

“I went out and asked him, ‘Well, what’d you do?’ And he said, ‘Eh, I just touched.’ And I said, ‘What should I expect to have happen?’ and he said, ‘I donno. Whatever.’”

“The power inherent in our own body to heal itself when given the opportunity is miraculous.”

“Just plain ol’ touch on the skin. And you didn’t have to believe in it. There were no levels. And I just said to Norman and Carol, ‘We need to get this out to the public.’”

“It didn’t matter what you believed, who you were...the technique worked regardless of anything.”

“You don’t have to believe in it. There’s no intention. It’s just taking the two fingers, reaching out, and touching somebody, and they’re affected.”

“We don’t cure cure people, we’re not slapping people on the forehead and all of a sudden they get up and everything’s fine…It’s really about relationship between people.”

“There are seven habits to get fit for life.”

“Healthy habits require commitment, discipline, and patience.”

“It’s about having a positive mindset and a healthy self-image.”

“Prioritize your life. Have a mission statement for your life…everything I do has to tie in with that mission statement.”

“When you have a ‘why,’ it makes your life flow so much easier.”

“We’re all deliberate creators…every thought that we have creates an action.”

Have you had premonitions of future events? Do you have memories of past lives? Do you see spirits or hear messages from guardian angels? For psychic medium and medical intuitive Sherry Hopson, the answer to these questions – and more – is yes! She wasn’t looking for these events and gifts. They found her. And though she didn’t ask for them, she eventually learned they were signs to her of her purpose, and she has learned to harness them to help others.

When will the next planetary shift expand our consciousness? How often do we come back in reincarnation? Listen as Sherry answers these questions and discusses exploring the Akashic records and spiritual DNA, the purpose of past lives, karmic chakras, the mirroring effect, and her gifts and life of personal growth and surrender.

However you think you understand the world of energy, see if Sherry Hopson’s insights and practical advice can’t just give you something else to consider the next time you step into the 5-sense world. Is it reflecting something powerful back to you to help you heal and grow?

“I stuffed it away for many, many years…”

“I got shoved, pushed, and kicked down a path I didn’t want to go.”

“The harder I tried to get away from it, the more it would come down on top of me…I ran for almost 15 years before [it became] my passion.”

“You are the drop in the pond that will help to change things.”

“Everybody comes into the planet with either self-value issues or self-worth issues.”

“In order to change who you are…you have to see yourself as you desire to be…I already am that, I’m just not focused in on it.”

“The Akashic records are nothing more than our spiritual DNA.”

“Spiritual DNA is comprised of all of our experiences as a soul on this side and the other side.”

“When we have a trauma, we end up fragmenting ourselves, and that fragment creates a karmic chakra.”

“The more energy we create in the Universe, the larger the Universe becomes.”

What is equine gestalt coaching? According to equine gestalt coach Andrea Hall of Withers Whisper in Colorado, it’s a powerful healing modality that can help us change the neural pathways in our brain and create a different experience. 

Andrea says we can’t hide from horses – they know if we’re speaking our truth – and that horses can help us get to the root of our traumas and help us heal.

Horses have helped humans for centuries, and Andrea believes they can assist us not only on a physical level, but partner with us on the soul and energy level to help us live lives of power and freedom.

Andrea shares the process of equine gestalt coaching as well as a truly amazing story of one client’s personal healing with a horse in a way she never expected. 

Re-discover the animal-human bond and find hope for healing.

“I went through a two-year process of healing my own self, to get to a place of completing my unfinished business.”

“We all have our own trauma, no matter if you grew up in a Leave It to Beaver family or not.”

“[Horses] are attracted to the energy of someone speaking their truth.”

“Everything has a vibration. All words have a vibration…the horse would energetically know whether or not you were speaking your truth.”

“What we do with the horses is transformational. So you actually have an experience with the horse that changes the neural pathways in the brain and they create a different experience.”

“We open up the wound, we dig deep, and find out what the root is…until you get to the root of the problem and heal it, it’s forever going to be there.”

“I have a horse that is a phenomenal chakra healer…another one holds space and has a huge heart.”

“A human being’s root chakra is connected to a horse’s third chakra.”

If your origins are in a stable, you still have the same right to personal and spiritual growth as someone decreeing a census and taxation from a palace. December brings Christmas – a celebration of the birth of Jesus for Christians around the world. But it also brings the realities of the economy and materialism. And that’s just fine. 

Maybe this time of year is a way to be more mindful about the two sides of our nature, and how it really is possible to soar to the highest heights of spiritual and personal growth while living everyday life right here, right now, right in the world of jobs, bills, and the economy. Hear the story of Jesus in a new way, and discover what it can teach us all about empowering the events of everyday life to help you not only walk the line between economy and energy, but reach the highest heights – all with the tools you have available in your stable. 

“December has come to represent something important for the spiritual and the secular among us. And really, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

 “That dual nature of the month provides us with an opportunity to learn balance…to make choices.” 

“The journey of personal and spiritual growth takes on so much more meaning when we see it in the context of where we are and where we want to be.” 

“When we realize it’s our day-to-day activities in the material world, right now, that can provide us with the experiences we need, in order to grow beyond them, that’s something special.” 

“No matter how mundane an event seems, it has the stuff of greatness built in.” 

“A candle casts the same light in a rural farmhouse as it does in a ballroom in the grandest mansion.” 

“You are a person who may have a paycheck to earn, gifts to buy, and bills to pay, but you’re also a person who has dreams to dream, enlightenment to reach, and a message to bring. And those things are not mutually exclusive.” 

“If we all have that bright spark of energy or the divine within us, then we can all have a destiny that stretches out from any humble beginning to any lofty goal.”

We want kids to act in ways that we’re not always prepared to act. That’s why it’s important for all of us to learn (and re-learn!) proper social skills, civility, mindfulness, and generally how to be good people. Ben Farrey-Latz has produced a book of poetry that helps to do just that. Join Ben as he speaks about “I Can Learn Social Skills” and how – through the use of rhyme and vivid, real-world examples – children (and adults!) can get a friendly, and fun, reminder of how simple skills can transform children, classrooms, and communities. I Can Learn Social Skills is a fun, visually interesting book aimed at teaching social skills. But its mission is so much broader. Listen in and learn a little bit about a small book trying to have a big impact.

“There’s no reason an adult can’t read this book…” 

“Calming strategies are calming strategies…there’s no reason adults can’t use them, too.” 

“I find even as a teacher in the classroom…I calm my body and let kids know it’s alright to make a mistake or be angry…it’s how you deal with the anger. I think that’s the same for adults.” 

“Going back and reminding kids about these things, it’s good if you model them yourself.” 

“Give yourself a little bit of time to calm yourself. It’s okay to give yourself time to think through something.” 

“Everybody’s coming from a different place…how can I step back and do this in a way that’s going to be respectful, and...calm?”
