Happy Day, Friend! In this podcast episode, I’m sharing four (4) myths about teaching kids mindfulness. There have been quite a few of them over the decade I’ve been doing this work, but I boiled it down to the top four. In knowing these myths, you can anticipate other people sharing them, and feel more confident in educating them about mindful-based social-emotional learning and educating the whole child. These myths might pop up in casual conversations with friends, parents, and teachers or they may come up when you’re giving a seminar, speech, or professional development series about kids and mindfulness. In any case, you’ll be ready to debunk them and appropriately educate others. I hope you gain tons of value from the episode. If so, please share with your people. Let's learn, grow, and glow together 👉 @atheadavis on all the social media channels. And, don’t forget to rate and review, and subscribe to the show so you can stay tuned in to all the mindful living love.Keep breathing deep + shining bright, Friend! 🌟XO ~ Athea P.S.

Happy Day, Friend! On this week’s podcast episode I’m talking about education, policy, and purpose. My special guest today is Dee Dubose. Dee is an educator, organizer, and advocate for effective K-12 schools. Born in rural Alabama, Dee’s educational journey was impacted by both federal, state, and local policies that limited his overall school experience. With that at the center of his work, he has spent the last five years gaining insight as a classroom teacher at KIPP Texas and speaking out as an organizer with One Houston in Houston, Texas. In this way, he hopes to use these stories and experiences in his work as he is starting his dual Ph.D in Education Policy + K-12 Administration at Michigan State University. With this additional context, he envisions working with students, families, and leaders as a district leader to bring about effective research-based practices inside rural schools. Connect with Dee Dubose 👉 Instagram and Twitter. You can also reach out to Dee via email 👉 dldubose20@gmail.comLet's learn, grow, and glow together 👉 @atheadavis on all the social media channels. And, don’t forget to subscribe to the show so you can stay tuned in to all the mindful living love.Keep breathing deep + shining bright, Friend! 🌟XO ~ Athea P.S.
