    SUMMARY In this conversation, Michelle Kinder sits down with Katherine Kennedy to unpack the real challenges educators face—burnout, secondary trauma, and the emotional weight they carry in and out of the classroom. They talk about how personal experiences shape professional lives, and why supporting educator wellness isn't optional—it’s urgent. Katherine shares her journey and what pushed her to create wellness programs designed specifically for educators. She digs into the role of creativity, community, and somatic practices in healing, and why reconnecting with yourself is often the first step toward meaningful change. This dialogue pushes beyond surface-level solutions, exploring what real support looks like in a system that often overlooks the humanity of the people in it. It’s about agency, advocacy, and building spaces where educators—and students—can actually thrive.

Personal trauma doesn’t stay at the door—it walks into the classroom too. Wellness isn't fluff—it’s foundational. Creativity and connection aren’t extras—they’re lifelines.

  • BONUS: Tacky Box Time for Adults

    BONUS: Tacky Box Time for Adults
    Feb 24 2025

    This is a reflection exercise from Ripplemaker Project, led by Michelle Kinder, inspired by Tacky Box Time. It guides participants through a structured self-awareness practice:

    1. Reflection on Heavy Moments – Participants consider anything they did, said, or witnessed in the past few days that felt uneasy or could have gone differently.
    2. Acknowledging Positive Moments – They then shift focus to acts of kindness, courage, or positive behavior they want to see more of, reflecting on how these moments felt.
    3. Encouraging Connection – Recognizing the human need for relationships, they are encouraged to identify someone they trust to talk through any lingering thoughts.

    The exercise promotes mindful reflection, self-regulation, and emotional awareness, much like Tacky Box Time does for children, but adapted for adults.

    A special thank you to Gary Lynn Floyd for composing the beautiful music for this podcast bonus episode.
