As the school year wraps up, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect—not just on what happened, but why it happened. In this episode, we dig into the importance of being intentional with reflection. From academics and classroom regulation to professional relationships, we talk about the power of owning your influence—even when things feel out of your control.

We also dive into the value of taking risks. Whether it’s starting a new project, shifting your approach in the classroom, or launching something as uncertain as a podcast (hey, we’ve been there!), don’t be afraid to try. Not every swing will be a home run—but every swing matters.

Tune in as we look back, look inward, and get ready to move forward with purpose.

In this special episode, Justin shares the heart behind our upcoming professional development series happening on June 18th and July 9th. Every year, educators ask the same pressing question: "How do we respond to kids in crisis?" And while it would be nice to have a quick fix, the truth is—there isn’t one.

Justin and Katie know from experience that responding effectively to student crises is 90% preparation. In this episode, Justin breaks down why the work before the crisis matters most, and why now—when students are out of the building—is the perfect time to build your team’s capacity.

You’ll hear what you can expect from the PD sessions, including:

• Practical, brain-based teaching about the "why" behind tough student behavior
• Step-by-step training to help your team create systems that actually work in the moment
• Real-world insights on supporting highly dysregulated students
• Honest reflections from two educators who’ve lived this work daily—and are still in it

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about being ready. Listen in, get inspired, and find out how your team can head into next year more prepared and more confident than ever.

Ever heard of a "sixth sense"? While we're familiar with the five senses, there's another crucial sense that often gets overlooked: interoception. This week, we sit down with licensed Occupational Therapist Kelly Mahler to explore the fascinating world of interoception – our body's ability to sense and interpret internal signals.

Kelly explains what interoception is and how it differs from our traditional five senses. We delve into how interoception plays a significant role in behavior, particularly before and after dysregulation. Understanding these internal cues can be key to helping individuals manage their emotions and responses.

This episode is a must-listen for educators! Kelly shares practical strategies for proactively teaching students about interoception and the incredible benefits of doing so. We also tackle common misconceptions surrounding interoception and discuss how educators can adapt their classroom management and structures to better support students' interoceptive needs. Learn how to create a more inclusive and understanding learning environment by tuning in!
