This is Llama. Her name was Luna, but she isn't quite fancy enough for that... And she looks like a llama so...

I recently read that research is showing Autistic people as preferring interactions with animals over humans.

Seems legit 🤣

04/03/2024

I'm purposefully excluding a large part of the Autism community in my research.

I will include Autistic people who represent the 'typical' diagnosis of Autism (as stated by DSM-5) and are formally diagnosed.

I will NOT include Autistic people who

- experience autism in ways that doesn't match the dx version

- are very good at masking and coping, therefore they are now later in life and wouldn't really be served by a formal dx

- don't have access to healthcare

- are treated by a doctor who has an outdated and misinformed understanding of autism

- are treated by a doctor who doesn't believe their patients' ability to recognize their own challenges

- is part of a historically marginalized community who struggles with systemic obstacles in healthcare

- doesn't have the money to fund the formal dx process

TLDR: Any Autistic person who is not formally diagnosed ⬆️

This is a point of extreme contention and frustration that I have argued with my professor about at length.

Here's the annoying truth:

The focus of my research is arguing the ethical requirements of advertisers to consider Autistic consumers in their practices.

This is a relatively new topic in research and I want to get it published so we can continue to build on it.

Formal autism diagnosis are accepted by the academic community, while self-dx are not.

Using self-dx Autistics in my research would make it harder to publish because of the 'self-dx is not valid' argument.

My long term solution is to continue working alongside others to argue the need to include self-dx Autistics in research - otherwise we're not getting the full picture.

My short term solution is to work within the constraints I'm given - and throwing fits along the way.

Charlie Bear went on her first camping trip in 3 years and had the best weekend. ❤️🐾

What did you do this weekend?

28/01/2024

My professor listed the rules for the use of AI in our class - essentially, don't do it.

I raised my hand and asked how this rule applied to digital accessibility tools and accommodations built in AI.

While I was asking specifically for me in that moment, because...panic.

Looking back, there wasn't a solid answer for that.

The departments guidelines were pretty much not to use it.

That critical thinking is built outside of AI and that's why we're in a grad program.

As an AuDHD person who uses AI as part of my accommodations a lot,

I would argue that, especially in education, rules around AI should be created with accessibility in mind.

25/01/2024

I complete my PhD application, Charlie gets a treat.

23/01/2024

I live in constant anxiety about time.

The allistic world revolves around time, dates, deadlines....

These things are worshiped - maybe you've noticed.....

I, an AuDHD human, do *not* experience time the way someone who is not Autistic or not ADHD does.

So much so that it's hard for me to explain how time feels in comparison to how they might experience it - because I can't conceive it.

Much like they can't conceive my experience.

I have the timers, the calendar reminders, the Slack automations, etc.

but none of these things will change my neurotype. It is what it is.

I exist in a constant state of anxiety trying to make myself understand and conform to a version of time I just can't wrap my head around.

Maybe it's time for a two way street.

20/01/2024

I opened the truancy notice email.

I deleted the truancy notice email.

I am very clear with the attendance officer at my daughter's school.

See sends me the emails saying that we've used 5 of the 6 'unexcused' absences

and we need to prove the absences are 'valid' (i.e., provide a doctor's note) or they will continue to count against us.

I send her the response with my practiced and pretty worn-out statement telling her that I understand their policy,

but a doctor is not the support my daughter needs on her sick days. Therefore, we will not be able to prove her state of well-being according to your standards.

She says, "Thanks for letting me know" and we do it all again next time 😅🙄

Pretty sure I don't need to describe here the problems of that structure of absence validation and the gaping supporr holes it leaves for the disabled community.

Oh, and does truancy end up taking you to court? 👩‍⚖️ Asking for a friend....

(I mean - at least truancy is no longer a criminal offense 🤷‍♀️)

Relistening to this fav. What are you reading right now?

14/12/2023

Y'all. Today is the day 😳

Thesis proposal defense to the committee and Chair at 10am (I will finally know if my 6 months of research and argument development is approved/what changes need to be made to start quantitative research in Feb.),

then submission of my thesis abstract to The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Midwinter Conference (if accepted, I get to argue my thesis at the University of Oklahoma in March),

then 15 min presentation of social insights data and query structure for my Social Insights final,

then submission of 10 page final research paper for Global Comm

then, I will be curled into a little ball of tired and happy under my desk if you need me...

30/11/2023

When you're arguing for the 'should' of equitable access to and participation in the marketplace for the disability community,

starting with advertising ethics,

sometimes you need extra blemish dots the same color as the gallons of coffee you're drinking to keep making progress. 🖤☕

Who is getting on Zoom with me to let me talk thesis to you so I can finish this proposal by like...yesterday 🫢😅

Send help.

What if this place could decrease early death in neurodivergent communities?

Think neuro-inclusive community center, bookshop, artist's corner....

A safe place to share your creativity, be in community with others, learn about being a neurodivergent entrepreneur....

😍😍😍

I'm working to build this space not only online, but irl.

Did you know safe community decreases su!cide in neurodivergent humans by almost 30%?

Did you know creating your passion/business and sharing can decrease su!cide in neurodivergent humans by almost 20%?

So, whoever is in for $1,500/mo, I found the perfect space 😉🙃

My DMs are open just in case... 😅🫣

9 minutes and the passing of my grandmother is currently what is tanking my grade.

There isn't anything I can do about it.

I did finally submit my grandmother's obituary (again) as 'required documentation for an excused absence',

which I am finding to be re-traumatizing, morbid, and, honestly, completely ridiculous.

But, I digress.

Let's talk about the 9 minutes.

According to the participation rubric, if I am 3 minutes late the highest grade I can receive for the entire 3 hour class is a 60%.

I'd like to preemptively recognize and set aside the outdated arguments saying things like

'Tardiness proclaims to the world that you don't know how, or don't want to manage your time'

'Punctuality makes you look good, it means you plan for contingencies'

'Tardiness shows ineptitude, punctuality shows intelligence'

'Being late is rude. It's tell the people around you their time isn't as important as yours'

I won't engage in all the ways these are problematic, I think most of you are pretty aware.

Moving on...

I have a service animal named Charlie Bear.

I am Autistic.

I have ADHD.

None of these are excuses.

All of these are things that make those 3 minutes a little different for people who experience the world similar to me

than for people who experience the world in a more neurotypical way.

I would argue that it's a responsibility of our existence to do our best to recognize and attempt to understand that others experience the world vastly differently than we might

and just maybe those 3 minutes aren't me telling you that my time is more important than yours,

rather,

my service animal had an unexpected p**p and I forgot her p**p bag pouch was empty so I had to go back to the car to find one and then back to pick up her p**p while worrying that someone thinks I am leaving her p**p there like a terrible service animal handler and now they hate me.

Or, ya know, a myriad of other issues that come with executive functioning limitations, aggressive anxiety, and PTSD. 😅😳

Anyway...thank you for coming to my TED talk.

06/11/2023

Hi 👋 I'm Chelsea and I have no idea what I'm doing.

I ask questions when the answer is obvious (to you...).

My work style looks a lot different (and sometimes I can't clearly communicate how I/what I need to work).

I play with fidgets at my standing desk and don't stay still.

⬆️ These experiences aren't new to me,

so I accommodated/powered my way through them and started coaching and consulting in 2020.

👏 I did the 'right' things:

Hired a business coach

Used the perfect marketing tactics

Wrote copy touting all the amazing things you would get when working with me

*insert more generalized marketing advice here*

And I hated it. 🚫

More than just hated it, I ended up completely shutting down without really knowing why.

Fast forward and I started my grad degree in Strategic Communication while continuing to play with and evolve how I wanted to show up online.

I tried to find someone who does similar things with similar values to model my next steps after.

Everything led to more shut down.

TLDR:

- Putting the 'Click here to change your life' button on the top of the page without disclosing price = 🤮

- Sharing only the reviews of the people who had the most spectacular results without also showing typical experiences = 🤮

- Saying things like, "This works for anyone!" with no regard for the disabled or ND human reading your copy = 🤮

- Marketing to the neurodivergent and/or disabled community without intentionally building safeguards for their success = 🤮

- Saying you have 'the secret to ______ and you can only achieve this life changing thing by working with me/buying this course" and then charging thousands of dollars = 🤮

I have no idea what I'm doing because I have no interest in:

Pushing people's pain points, then setting myself as the only solution

Pretending I have the ability to effectively deliver my services to 'anyone who is ready and willing to change their life"

*insert more 🤮 here*

I am making intentional choices to engage in marketing/sales in an accessible, clear, & non-predatory way.

and I am (obsessively) devoted to continuing to make up the type of marketing and sales I believe ND/disabled humans deserve.

05/11/2023

I don't want to die, but I don't want to live.

I've made this statement too many times - including earlier this week.

Sometimes the feeling that no one could ever understand what you're feeling,

because you're the only person who feels it this way,

or because you feel like you'll never be able to communicate your experience in a way that makes sense to anyone else,

(...because sometimes it doesn't even make sense to you)

is completely overwhelming and pushes you into a terrifying darkness of thought.

There is one thing that is guaranteed to move me out of that space a little bit at a time

and it's someone who hears me, knows my experience, and validates me.

That somebody has been many people in my life - especially showing up in the past 2ish years.

My intention is to be that person to as many people as possible,

sometimes in big ways and sometimes in tiny ones.

One tiny way I do this is at art markets on the weekends.

The pins, stickers, and art we fill our booth with is always supportive, but the best part is our vending machine of affirmations.

Each person who comes to our table gets a quarter for the machine

and we get to see them read one of the validations we've written and put into the little capsule.

Maybe that glitter-filled capsule will give them just one moment of feeling heard, that they aren't alone in their experience, and validation.

04/11/2023

Looking at the picture of me standing outside the pop up I created specifically to tell people they are beautiful and their experience is valid,

all I can think of is all the things I don't like about how I look in this picture.

I immediately think of how my mom would see me.

How the people who knew me a couple years ago might look at me now.

All the things I 'need' to change about my body.

Why is it so easy to (aggressively) tell other humans how amazing they are

while simultaneously wanting to change and disliking so much about yourself?

I don't have an answer for that,

But I know I plan to continue showing up to tell others how lovely they are.... and working on how I love myself.

30/10/2023

Monday morning & I've already aggressively told my psychiatrist that I hate ADHD.

No, really. HATE.

It's not my superpower

(and I'm on the 'that's a pretty toxic thing to say' side of that convo)

Sometimes the support structures I've created in my daily life allow me to use my ADHD experience to do cool things specific to my neurotype,

other times I can't control what I focus on, can't start the task, try to slow my running thoughts, and other fun ADHD-bits.

The way I engage with work and school will never be the typical experience.

That's OK,

but it's not a superpower.

29/10/2023

I recognize you were absent for your grandmother's passing. I've given you a 🚫0%🚫 for class participation.

I'm sorry for your loss.

🫣 Experiences as a grad student you can't make up.

I've been told there is nothing I can do to resolve this

(even though the school had me turn in my grandmother's obituary and I had to get a signed letter from the hospital that I was there visiting her)

(even though it's significantly impacting my grade)

I don't really have a moral of the story or a good ending...

but I did get my book in from victimfocus resources and I'm pretty excited about that.

27/10/2023

Happy Friday!
..except the people gatekeeping ADHD and/or Autism diagnosis by saying that self-realization isn't legit by not validating the extreme inequity that exists in

access to diagnosis

impact of diagnosis

support of diagnosis

biases in diagnostic methods.

So yea, Happy Friday.

Su***de prevention doesn't always look like you think it would.

It's not just crisis lines and interventions.

For me, it was meeting a coach who validated my experience.

She was one of the *very* few people in my life at the time who wasn't gaslighting me

and the only support I had ever hired that wasn't part of the high-demand religion I was in.

I was experiencing abuse, but I didn't know.

I knew I wasn't ok, but I didn't know why.

When I would tell the people in my life about something that was happening, their responses would be things like

- here's what I think about that
- here's what our book says about that
- here's what the religious leader says about that

I will never forget in an early session with my coach, I told her about one of the things happening.

She said,

"Well, how does that feel to you?"

I was shocked and confused.

My thoughts were immediately ignited in so many directions and started running all over each other.

It kinda sounded like,

Uhm. I have absolutely no idea. Wait...why don't I know how I feel about it? Why has no one ever asked me that? Why haven't I asked me that? How do I even figure out how I feel about it? What if I don't feel good about it? Omg...what if it's actually not ok and then I have to do something about it...

*insert more panicked confusion here*

When I finally calmed my brain enough to get words to my mouth,

I told her it didn't feel ok and I didn't like feeling scared.

Her response was also something that I'd never been told before,

"You're experience matters and your feelings are valid."

Skipping to the good part,

she helped me set the foundation to get out of those situations.

Somewhere along the way I got this tattoo - the only one on my left arm so it stays in my focus.

The semi-colon stands for, "Option to end; decision to continue."

So, if you wonder why I go around preaching

psychological safety,
trauma-informed environments,
and neuroinclusivity,

it's because su***de prevention doesn't always look the way we think it does.

I'm exceptionally talented at building hateful places centered in fear.

I was taught how for 32 years and I did it well - *really well*.

So well, in fact, that I was recruited to many businesses within the religion to do my work there.

I can build structure, communication, and efficiency *really well*,

especially if you put me in an education environment.

I can also create learning systems, curriculum, and creative environments *really well*.

What got in the way for me the more I learned about trauma-informed spaces was the exclusionary stance of the religion I was raised in.

When I began really recognizing the intentional exclusion, my clarifying questions began.

Long story short, too many clarifying questions puts you exiting a high-demand religion real quick.

Why? It's simple math.

Exclusionary environment ≠ Trauma-informed environment

My mission could never be realized in that space, so I left my career, my religion, my friends, my family....

And now I'm here, flipping what I was taught about creating hateful, fear-centered environments on its head to build the exact opposite,

trauma-informed
intentionally and safely inclusive
psychologically-safe

businesses, schools, churches, non-profits...pretty much anywhere humans gather.

Humans, like the painted-faced one pictured, deserve spaces that they belong in - just as they are.

Example - See that cup she's holding? It wouldn't be allowed if she were to attend a service in the religion she was *almost* raised in.

She would be told she is unholy, against God, a sinner, etc.

She would be made to change herself to meet their standards of inclusion.

🚫Nah - we're not doing that anymore.

The space is trauma-informed and intentionally inclusive or I don't hang there.

💜Ready to make your business, school, non-profit, space with humans in it, trauma-informed? I can help with that.💜

From dropping out of public school in 10th grade to applying for my PhD….

while writing my Masters thesis. 🙃

Traditional education has never really 'worked' for me - yet, here we are doing research for my thesis on predatory sales and the Autistic community.

I moved around schools so much when I eas a young student that maybe I didn't notice *why* things always felt….blah.

Had to be that I had just moved there and wasn't used to it yet, right??

We finally stopped changing schools in 7th grade and I got my first experience of 3 years in the same setting.

At some point the 'it feels off because you're new here' wore off and panic set in.

Wait….this is *actually* what school is like?

Good grades ✅️
Involved in activities ✅️
Existential dread ✅️

6 weeks into my sophomore year, after exhausting my mom by calling her crying several times each day,

She agreed to buy me homeschool curriculum and let me finish it myself.

(I finished a year earlier than I was supposed to, so my mom made me wait to graduate with the 'correct' year 🤔)

Fast forward to 2018 and I had spent 10 years leading schools without the appropriate education.

Why didn't I completely fail?

Why wad I able you grow schools in such a sustainable way?

Why wad I being asked by parent to keep adding grade levels so their kids could stay?

And being asked by other schools to consult for them?

Because I was creating neuroinclusive, trauma-informed learning environments- before I even knew what any of that meant.

I just knew that I didn't want the learners I was supporting to experience what I did with learning and community.

Fast forward again, it's 2018 and I'm finally learning all the technical terms for the type of spaces I was creating.

Then 2022 came and I received my Autism diagnosis and it all started making sense 😅

Now I create neuroinclusive, trauma-informed learning and community for a living,

because it's easily one of the most important things I can do with my life,

and it's exactly what I was missing in my own education.

What is the moral of the story?

Create accessible and inclusive spaces because it's foundational and quite beautiful.

12/10/2023

Psst. We cannot be neurodiversity affirming without being gender affirming.

There. I said it.

I so, so enjoyed the opportunity to lead a workshop for Autistic youth and their parents last weekend to discuss the overlaps of ND and gender diversity and how we can provide trauma-informed spaces and support.

(Spoiler alert - It's a massive overlap)

These humans need and deserve well-informed and intentional support.

11/10/2023

They came up to me, asked if they could give me a bracelet they made and thanked me for what I shared in the workshop.

I obviously am not going to turn that offer down, so I accepted the pink, yellow, and blue bracelet. (And added it to my stack 😅)

They had just sat in on my workshop called Gender Identity and Neurodiversity where I talked about

the massive volume of the intersection of these two communities,

why that's important,

and what we can do to support.

I was a little nervous when prepping for this workshop since I would be talking to both youth and their parents and I was worried I would bore everyone under 30 in the room.

Turns out, learning about your community and how to support yourself and others is a lovely conversation even when you're 12. 💙💜

10/10/2023

Bonus points if you can find Charlie's tail in the pic...

Over the weekend I had the super duper privilege of leading a workshop at an event hosted by LGBTQ Saves.

I got to hang out in a room full of LGBTQ+ youth and their parents to talk about the intersections of neurodivergency and the q***r community.

In case you didn't know, the intersection is massive.

Why does it matter??

Because neurodivergent humans and q***r humans are both at a *much* higher risk of su***de.

How do those statistics looks when this double-minority exists?

Not good.

(Did you know that Autistic children are 28x more likely to attempt su***de than their neurotypical peers?)

So, if you need me, I'll be leading as many workshops, talks, coaching sessions, and consulting meetings about how to support the neurodivergent community - especially as it intersects with the q***r community.

08/10/2023

Today I got to teach in my first college classroom. 😭😩🥳🥰

I led a workshop for and had the most glorious time at their event.

Getting to talk to a room of parents and youth about gender-identity and neurodivergency is my very favorite.

I'm so excited to get to have the opportunity to coach and support members of the LGBTQIA+ and neurocolorful communities 💜

Thank you for inviting me and for the work you do 🙏

✨ Nurturing Boundaries and Self-Care ✨

As we embark on a new week, I want to share a powerful statement that has been a game-changer in my life, and I believe it can be in yours too:

"I appreciate your concern. I'm not looking for advice right now."

In a world filled with well-meaning friends, family members, and colleagues, it's easy to find ourselves bombarded with advice, suggestions, and opinions, often unsolicited. While it's wonderful to have a support system, it's equally crucial to establish boundaries and prioritize our own well-being.

This statement isn't about shutting others out or dismissing their intentions. It's about recognizing that sometimes, we simply need a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, or a space to process our thoughts and feelings without external input. It's a declaration of self-care and self-awareness.

We all have unique journeys, and we're the experts of our own lives. It's perfectly okay to set boundaries, to say, "I value your concern, but right now, I need to navigate this path on my terms." It's a reminder that seeking advice is a choice, and it's okay to choose when and from whom we seek it.

So, this week, let's embrace the power of this statement. Let's use it as a tool to honor our feelings, our intuition, and our need for autonomy. By doing so, we not only cultivate healthier relationships but also nurture a deeper connection with ourselves. 💖🌱

If you're wondering what preparing to be traveling for a week, researching for a thesis, working on a social media audit project for class, planning the workshop I'm teaching on the 7th, and still doing my 'real' job.....

Here ya go.

22/09/2023

I'm not really a fan of the term "openly-Autistic".

But, I suppose that's what I would be called.

"Openly" makes it feel like it's something that should be hidden,

like I'm being radical with my existence.
...when really, I'm just existing.

We don't say things like,

"openly-human" or

"openly-creative". 🤷‍♀️

Of course, there are definitely areas that people keep personal or private.

But if they do choose to share those areas, we don't see statements like,

"openly-wealthy" or

"openly-straight".

Ponder this ⬇️

If I have to describe myself as "openly-Autistic", we know that there are many, many more "hidden" Autistics.

If that's true, what are the fears that keep them hidden and how do we create a more neuroinclusive environment that removes some of that fear?

(Focusing on the humans who feel like they have to hide it out of fear or uncertainty, not the humans who make a choice to keep it personal.)

🌟 Embrace Your Evolving Emotions 🌟

Here's a gentle reminder for everyone on this journey called life: Your feelings are always valid, no matter how they may have been in the past. 🌈❤️

We often carry the weight of our past experiences and emotions, and it's easy to judge our present feelings based on what we've felt before. But here's the truth: You are allowed to change, to grow, and to evolve. 🌱✨

The emotions you're experiencing right now, whether they're completely different from what you felt in the past or just a nuanced shift, are valid. Your heart is a complex and beautiful landscape of feelings, and it's okay if it looks different from yesterday, last week, or last year. 🌺💖

Let go of any guilt or self-doubt that may come from comparing your past and present emotions. Embrace the fact that you're a dynamic, ever-changing being, and your feelings are a reflection of your growth. 🌟📚

Tag someone who needs this reminder today, and let's celebrate the beauty of our evolving emotions together. 🤗🤝

🌟 Embrace Your Inner Guide 🌟

To all my fellow anxious souls out there, this one's a gentle reminder: You have an incredible gift - your instincts. 🌻🌟

In a world that can sometimes overwhelm us with noise and chaos, your anxiety often acts as a finely-tuned radar, alerting you to the subtle shifts in energy and the whispers of intuition. 🚀💭

So, dear anxious friend, let's normalize something important - trusting your instincts when you feel that something is off. 🙏💚

That nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach, the racing heart, the hairs standing up on the back of your neck - these are not just random sensations. They are your inner wisdom speaking to you, urging you to pay attention. 🚨🔍

In a society that sometimes dismisses these feelings as irrational, we want you to know that they are valid. Your intuition is a superpower, a guardian angel that's looking out for you. So, listen to it, honor it, and trust it. 🌈❤️

Tag a fellow anxious friend who can relate, and let's create a culture of trust and support. Together, we can navigate this world with our instincts as our compass. 🤝💪

Not that the other things he says are not problematic 😅 but this is continuing a narrative that doesn't provide the context and support for parents who might be deciding about medication for their child. A. There are too many confounding variables for this to be said as if it applies to *every* ADHD male. B. Correlation is not causation. C. Medication is a tool. It's neutral - not 'bad'. #adhd #adhdmedication #adhdinboys #adhdparent #medicationfree #adhdsupport

To all my friends feeling like your disabilities are always overshadowing your loveliness and abilities - I see you. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAdult #gradschool

Anyone? ANYONE??? Please tell me you feel this too... #AutisticAdult #autisticcommunication #AutisticProblems #autisticwomen #workplaceculture

What if trying not to be a 'burden' on someone is kinda like taking away their opportunity to support you because they love you and supporting you is an expression of that? #autisticwomen #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAdult

Stimming with music is probably the most 'helpful' stim I have. I find a song the feels good in my brain (again, it's just science...don't ask) and put it on repeat. I choose the same song over and over because I know what's coming that way. My brain doesn't have to try to figure out the pattern or guess what's next. The song fills in the background noise of my thoughts and helps me focus. Anyone else?? #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAdult #autisticcommunication #stimmingisnormal #stimmingisbeautiful #stimmingpositivity #autisticcreator

Can the sliding scale be a tool of economic justice for the neurocolorful community? I believe so. It obviously won't solve the larger problems, but maybe it will support just that much more access. The sliding scale represents the idea that financial resources, including income, are not and should not be the only determining factor in whether or not someone can access services, care, etc. Service providers and institutions usually offer sliding scale because there is a commitment to serving communities that would otherwise not be able to afford the services. Often, these organizations actively seek external funding to establish financial stability and fill in the economic gaps that sliding scale does not provide for. I do not receive any outside funding to supplement sliding scale discounts, so I must take into account what I am able to offer and still be able to support my family. For a sliding scale to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification. I trust my community to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value, because that is where trust grows and depth work can be done. ✨Teachers deserve to get paid and students deserve classes which recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist.✨ 🎙️Tell me in the comments: What are your thoughts on a sliding scale? P.S. Check out my course for humans asking the question, "What if I don't know who I am when I unmask?" in the link on my page or wave at me in the comments and I will DM it to you. #ActuallyAutistic #Neurocolorful #AutisticAdult #AuDHD

Learning to unmask can be gentle. Masking is a tool that you get to choose to use or turn off, depending on the situation. But what if you don't know how to unmask yet? Start small. Be gentle. ❤️ #ActuallyAutistic #unmaskingautism #neurodiverse #latediagnosedautistic

"School should be a place where students are encouraged to explore what they might become, not a place that constantly reminds them of what they are. #justsayin" 🎤👇 Will Richardson, Co-Founder of the Big Questions Institute, asks all the best questions, but this one really got me. This is a great 💥 growth mindset vs fixed mindset 💥 question and since #whatcouldgowrong is all about growth mindset I needed this conversation in my life. After a couple week hiatus from my OG show to talk about how unqualified myself and all my friends are, we are back Wednesday at 4:00 pm CST to dig into this big question. Need more unqualified conversations in your life? Jon and I continue that convo Friday at 3:00 pm CST What would it look like for school to be a place where students are encouraged to explore what they might become? #itsfine #chelsrs #education #growthmindset

Like Zombies, Start with the Brain - #whatcouldgowrong LIVE with Samuel Holston

Like zombies, I think we need to start with the brains. 🧠🧟‍♀️ Humanizing education is a huge undertaking and requires a massive mindset shift. Where do we start?? 🧠 Brains y'all. 🧠 If we better understand how learners think, develop, and grow we can better create a dynamic learning environment that truly values the human over just the student. Samuel Holston, purveyor of practical brain science and Co-Founder of BrainTools, joins me on #whatcouldgowrong LIVE this week to talk about one of my favorite things 👇 🧠 Brain science. 🧪
