As we approach Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Week (March 3rd-7th! ✨), I’m sharing a snippet of my interview from the Shift Network’s Spirit of SEL Symposium, where I spoke from the heart about what SEL truly means. https://t.co/tKnO1esUsL
Hearing from educators who have watched the video and felt inspired to reach out reminds me of the power of these conversations to ripple outward. I’m so grateful to be part of this shared journey.
When we lead from this place, power flows outward naturally—as compassion, tenderness, and gentleness. 💛 🗓️ I'll be speaking more about healing through tenderness at the San Diego County Office of Education's School Social Worker Awards on March 7th.
True power rises from within—it doesn’t need to be imposed, displayed, or proven. Genuine strength is rooted in our essence, providing a foundation of stability and authenticity. https://t.co/qtoTSLUPKw
Grateful to keynote the School Social Worker Awards with San Diego County Office of Ed on March 7th! 💛 Social workers are the heartbeat of schools—holding space, seeing the unseen & making healing possible.

In a world that could benefit from more listening and more efforts to find common ground, I encourage you to try these 3 practices to open yourself up to a greater understanding of others.
Today is #WorldPeace and Understanding Day—and it feels complicated in a world full of suffering and division.
Peace isn’t naive. Understanding isn’t agreement. Both take courage.
Even in heartbreak, may we keep building bridges. #WorldPeaceDay
These words remind us to be mindful of the beauty, compassion, and appreciation that occur even in seemingly mundane tasks.
Here are some great ones to begin with, adapted from the eternal teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh. 🙏🏽✨🙏🏽

I wanted to start the weekend off by sharing some #gathas. A gatha is a verse recited mentally in rhythm with our breath that helps us stay rooted in the present moment.
Exciting news—I’m now on Bluesky! 💙 In a world that often moves too fast, I cherish spaces that invite depth, dialogue, & connection. Bluesky feels like one of those places.
I hope you'll join the conversation: https://t.co/UyDuZpfDeb
🌉 Excited to keynote San Diego County Office of Ed’s SEL Symposium! ✨🙏🏽 Unveiling my NEW talk: "Becoming a Bridge Builder for Beloved Community"—inspired by my dad, a bridge engineer, & rooted in T-SEL.
Let’s build bridges!

A few years ago, I created this resource to help strengthen my muscle in receiving feedback. I revisited it recently and wanted to share it for anyone in a leadership role. #Leadership means learning in public, staying humble, and embracing feedback as a gift.

In times that demand us to continually be on the move, The Speed of Love reminds us to slow down and choose to be present. This pause opens us up to a warmness and a wider perspective that helps us extend grace to ourselves and others in a world that insists otherwise.
