This conversation transcends the walls between family and educational life and will move you to look at your children, family, and self in a different, more loving, and accepting way.  Dana is truly a gem of wisdom when it comes to illuminating the should’s vs. the is’s and finding the beauty in them.  Listen and share this unique discussion on the importance of emotional intelligence in our educational mindset. 

About the Guest: 

Dana is an award-winning Early Childhood and Gifted Educator and Social-Emotional Intelligence expert, pioneering DEIAB in action from the womb throughout life’s journey. From preparing parents how to reframe their inner dialogue while pregnant to facilitating and planning all critical assessments in early academic years, to richly interactive professional development for children and adults, my expertise invites me into all areas.

Dana leads through the lens of curiosity, providing a safe and accessible space for all to gather. With intentional wonder, Dana organically propels learners and families with highly effective communication skills for critical and possibly uncomfortable conversations. Through 1:1 private sessions, parent and youth workshops, professional development, and speaking engagements, Dana’s niche approach to coaching and facilitating unleashes vulnerability, invites self-acceptance, increases confidence, and fosters self-compassion.

About the Host: 

Nellie Harden is a wife of 20+ years, mom to 4 teen/tween daughters, dreamer, adventurer, servant, multipreneur, forever student, and a devoted teacher, but her ride-or-die passion is her work as a Family Life Coach & Mentor.  

Coming from a career background in marine mammal sciences, behavioral work, and a host of big life experiences, both great and not some not so great, she decided that designing a life of purpose and freedom was how she and her husband, along with their 4 daughters, wanted to live.  

Her work and passions exist in the realms of family and parent mentorship because she believes that a family filled with creativity, fun, laughter, challenge, adventure, problem-solving, hugs, good food, and learning can not only change a person’s life but is the best chance at positively changing the world. 

She helps families build Self-Led Discipline™ & Leadership Into their homes, sets their children up for a wildly successful life on their terms, and elevates the family experience with big joy, palpable peace, and everyday growth!

With a lifelong passion and curiosity in thought, choice, behavior, and growth she has found incredible joy in helping families shift perspective, find answers, and a path forward.

(Nellie has been coaching families for over 10 years and has degrees in Biology, Animal Behavior, and Psychology. )
