"A mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take"

 

Behind any successful person, you'll find strong women. Women are the backbone of societies and to life itself. Women create life. Women shape people on a fundamentally emotional and developmental level, unmatched by men. Even our personification of nature is called 'mother earth' due to the life-giving and nurturing aspects of our planet. Without women, existence would cease. 

In this special episode, Shawtelle Davenport, a mother of a 19-month old, fighting the Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) heart condition, authentically shares her heart-warming story. The life lessons learned through her difficult pregnancy turned trying first years of her baby Jax's life. How throughout it all, she is not only surviving but thriving, personally and professionally. And, how she and her family are paying it forward by fundraising and giving back to the Ronald McDonald House through the 'Jax Pays It Forward' fundraiser and #runningforjax marathons - see details below.

So what can the everyday person take from her story? Shawtelle makes genuine connections to her hard-learned lessons she's applied to their lives, enabling her family to thrive throughout adversity - just as her 19-month old baby girl, that the everyday person should implement.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything"

 

Everyone listens to music, from a baby still in the womb, to someone who's deaf, to indigenous tribes still untouched by civilization. Music is one of the only universal languages that evokes emotion, no matter if you understand its language of origin or not. Such a powerful, it has been credited with extreme feats such as toppling governments, freeing slaves, and stopped wars. In the everyday life, you can't scroll through a social media feed, walk through a store, or even travel through the subway without it reaching you. So profound in its nature that corporations and individuals have found ways to monetize the access to, usage, and experience of music. Yet, the everyday individual doesn't seem to realize the simplistic yet complex qualities of music they can tap into to, in order to help them live, learn, and love.

 

Singer/Songwriter Liliana Wilde shares what traits and skillsets musicians have that the everyday individual should utilize to win more in life.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together" - African Proverb.

 

It's logical vs spiritual in this group discussion. If you could choose to be any other being, would you still choose to be human? Think of all the atrocities, devastation, pain, and sadness humans throughout history, and today are causing. We chat about what it means to be human. Relating humans to oranges. How environments shape the essence of humans. Why the masses should take matters into their own hands to right wrongs.

All to uncover if we are a huge, failed, science experiment, a questionable concoction created by a higher power.

"I'm 27 different teachers to 27 different students all at once".

Laura-Ashley, a junior/intermediate french immersion teacher of 5 years shares her perspective on how 7th/8th graders learn faster than adults. Why using stories, short songs, or doodles should be apart of your foundation of learning. Why shyness, embarrassment, and saving face is holding you back. The importance of intrinsic vs extrinsic motivators. Being 27 different teachers to 27 different students, simultaneously, allows her to see, understand, and correct learning behaviors at a fundamental level.

What does it mean to learn? Why is learning so important? When do you stop learning? Who really decides what you learn?
