Whether you are a new teacher or seeking ways to calm your classroom, this podcast is your guide to fostering well-being and non-reactivity in both teachers and students.
Personal experiences as a youth such as living abroad, traveling around Europe, the Middle East and Africa are a treasured part of who Jodi is. Courses such as Transpersonal Psychology and Introduction to Yoga were invaluable to her growth, expanded her mind and sensitivity, decreased stress and increased feelings of calmness and happiness. She has a life-long love of mindfulness with continued learning through Mindful School’s courses and personal reading.

Working as an Educator for 25 years, now on Special Assignment for Student Well-Being, continues to be an incredible and rewarding journey. Her core values include a strong belief in continuous personal/professional growth, implementation of innovative programs and integration of mental health and environmental education across curriculum areas. Integrated mental health strategies are synonymous with the well-being of students and the school community.

Jodi is dedicated and committed to the social/emotional and academic growth and development of all students/educators. Her family is her priority and she deeply cherishes all of them. She enjoys cooking/experimenting with plant-based recipes that are delicious and healthy. Challenges inspire Jodi. It is her passion to walk more gently, mindfully, on the earth, living from her heart center. She is passionate about sharing the benefits of mindfulness practices, well-being, and all things eco-friendly, helping people to be the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves.

Inspired by the pioneering work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. We:

💥 Dive deep into the world of mindfulness, sharing personal experiences, practical techniques and insights to help educators cultivate calm and focus within themselves and their students.

💥 From kindergarteners to high school seniors, our aim is to provide valuable tools that can be applied throughout the entire K-12 journey. Our approach is secular and inclusive, ensuring that anyone can benefit. We'll explore how this has transformed educational environments and improved overall well-being.

💥 What's your superpower? Through 40 years of data and research, we'll discuss the compelling evidence behind the effectiveness of mindfulness in reducing stress, enhancing attention, and fostering resilience.

💥 Gain valuable insights and practical strategies to create a calm and focused learning environment from the very start of the new school year.

Let's create a mindful revolution in education, one breath at a time.
