Caitlin McDermott created Cait Couch (@theteacherfitnesscoach) because she believes teachers are the most important and valuable resource in the classroom. Teacher health and self-care should come first, but at what time? Between planning, grading, emails, and TEACHING, how can you meal plan, meal prep, or find time to work out, especially when you are TEACHER TIRED? Cait Couch has taught at the elementary level for eight years. She is also a NASM Certified Nutrition Coach and Group Fitness Instructor. She is on a mission to help teachers feel re-energized and confident through fitness and nutrition so they can be their students' best versions of themselves in the classroom.

Today, we spoke with Ashmeeta Madhav, author of :

“What’s Your Story? #1 Way to Create a New Reality With Your Thinking” Ashmeeta Rama Madhav is an educator, grief support

advocate/expert, entrepreneur, author, and lifelong learner. She

has been intimately acquainted with grief since her early

twenties, having experienced miscarriage, rejection, and the loss

of her parents and husband, which exposed her to a range of

profound emotions. Her story is one of love, acceptance,

forgiveness, gratitude, growth, and self-discovery, a narrative

that resonates with those who have faced loss or are on a path of

self-discovery following a loss. At the heart of her book, "What’s Your Story?" is her passion for helping others and sharing her

experiences. Through this book, she shares her journey

through grief and self-discovery to provide comfort and inspiration to those confronting similar experiences.

A word from Ashmeeta:

 "Some information about my mission:

I am Ashmeeta Rama Madhav, a resilience and grief support advocate, educator, entrepreneur, author, and lifelong learner. I have encountered many life-changing experiences from my early twenties. Miscarriage, rejection, and death of my parents and husband have exposed me to emotions of intense grief. I felt stuck and lost, so I ventured onto the path of self-discovery. I've come to appreciate the importance of personal growth and understand how my thoughts shape my reality.

My passion for helping others and sharing my experiences is at the core of my book, “What’s Your Story?” Through it, I share my journey with grief and self-discovery; my ⁠message is to offer comfort, inspire, and guide others going through difficult times to find the strength and resilience to move forward and create a meaningful life. Experiencing loss does not mean the story of your life is over. It is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. This experience does not have to define or destroy you. There is hope!”
