 A Strategy for Emotional Acceptance

A Strategy for Emotional Acceptance

The Compassion Cirriculum

The Compassion Cirriculum

What if our education system developed a K-12 curriculum, to include classes on how to engage in self-compassion, and prioritize self-care?

No, I'm not talking about Social Emotional Learning (SEL) that happens for an hour a week, where kids slap "inspirational quotes" on the walls of the school, or bulletin boards. I'm talking about a class structured in every grade level like, Math or English. Imagine how our kids would thrive socially and emotionally if they were to learn and understand HOW to incorporate compassion into their lives at a young age. Check out the podcast to dive deeper into this thought with me, and hear why I feel this is a crucial shift that needs to happen.

The Educational Crisis In America

The Educational Crisis In America

This is a bit of a different episode.  Lately I've been having a multitude if conversations, with educators, clients, and kids on all grade levels, facing public education as we know it today in 2023.  I am hearing so many more struggles students, teachers, and parents are having the last few years.  Most public schools have introduced a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum to support students emotionally, normalize talking about feelings, and awareness of peer relationships.  This is such a necessary shift within our educational system.  However, the academic expectations, have not been adjusted to meet the needs of our post pandemic students and teachers.  Check out my thoughts on WHY I feel we are in an academic crisis in America.
