The school year just started and we already in crisis mode. We keep missing the mark when it comes to school discipline. Here are some recommendations after spending years in hundreds of school building and classrooms.

Motivational Monday: Over the past year we’ve worked with school leaders, network leaders, and district leaders to reimagine a school culture that centers wellness and wellbeing at the forefront of academic achievement.

Last year, my pilot cohort of the LEADINWELL Institute brought 10 leaders together the systematically center wellness as a core value! That informed the birth of the Mindfully Me Curriculum!

I even have school leaders asking me to host healing retreats for them, little do they know the LEADWELL retreats will come to light. There universe is already conspiring to bring the resources for that to happen.

I’m also excited to share that we’ve welcomed our sixth network of schools, Tacony Charter Academy, to the roster of Mindfully Me early adopters.

Check out a few pages of the curriculum! It’s a labor of love, the promise of a healed future, and the possibility of what’s needed to get us there.

Motivation: If you’re passionate about something and your spirit won’t let you stop, keep going! There’s light even if the tunnel is so long you can’t see it.

Thank you to Tacony Charter Academy to become the latest school to adopt our Mindfully Me curriculum!

Last week we trained 140+ staff members on the curriculum and practiced the tools for creating a school culture that is grounded in student wellness and wellbeing!

We’re proud to share our Year One impact on !

As the workplace climate continues to shift, we’ve seen a significant rise in course registrations—especially for “Dealing with Microaggressions as an Employee.” While we’re encouraged by the growing awareness and demand for support, we also recognize what this signals: more people are navigating harm, uncertainty, and cultural tension on the job.

If you’re experiencing harm at work, this course is for you.
If your organization is still grappling with cultural challenges, it’s time to invest in real solutions—not just conversations.

Your trusted partner in the work- Awakening Minds

Ahead of our seventh anniversary, we’re embarking on a brand refresh! We’re starting with our logo and brand color palette. This will also include new offerings and ways to connect with us. Cheers to almost seven years of awakening minds. 🧠

I’m so grateful for all the love and support I’ve received so far from community. The last month was incredibly difficult watching my business plunge due to the ongoing construction. What was more difficult suffering in silence and not really sure what to do. One day it hit me, tell your truth. My truth has become a catalyst for advocacy. I couldn’t have imagined my video would be viewed over 46K times, garnering the attention of the city council and the news. I had this dream because I believed that healing was possible for my community. I still feel that way. Please help me continue my dream of community healing.

With love,

David

This is probably the most vulnerable I’ve ever been. When you’ve worked so hard for something and its very existence is threatened- you will fight for it!

Earth's heart is broken...

When you ask someone when did you experience your first heart break, most people will recall a young, pure, innocent love that abruptly ended. Whether it was the disappointment from a parent, an adverse childhood experience, the death of a loved one, or puppy love break up, many recount encounters from before the age of 18.

I began to ask why would we let something external break our heart? Then I needed to look inward. That first thought of self-doubt, you know? You’re not small enough, you’re not cute enough, you’re not smart enough? Those vicious seeds that we start to plant in our minds as kids? As those seeds grow; they pierce through the purity of your heart, each doubt becomes a new pathway in the maze in search of healing.

Truth is, we are the first to break our own heart. The very moment we accept the seed of self-doubt the heart becomes at war with the mind.
As we grow, battles are won and lost on both sides. The only way to win the war is to accept that the war begin within. The only way to heal from the war is to align the energy of the heart and the mind and eventually merge as one. The only way to preserve the peace within is to grieve with gratitude.

We enter the world at war with ourself. As the ego grows, our divine connection to our soul begins to wither. True life only returns through enchanted connections with source. Here on Earth there are many streams that lead to the rivers, and many rivers that lead to the ocean, therefore there must be many pathways to source. However, the purest pathway is travel within.

If we have the power to shape our destiny by the permission we give ourselves to experience the energy of this world; then we have the power to shift the energy of Earth to be less about a karmic cycle of collective trauma and misfortune to more about a paradise beyond our wildest dreams, where every being is honored with reverence because we finally realize we are one. We are one within, that exist within the energy of one. A broken heart is truly healed when all the pieces remember that together are still one heart.

Praying for us to wake up and remember that we are one. 🖤
