THANK YOU to everyone from District 24 who came out to yesterday’s Let’s Talk About It! Students had a fulfilling day — from learning about mindfulness, emotional awareness, positive communication and more. They left with tools to express themselves in healthy and engaging ways.
Another thank you to Washburn and the River for their amazing performance. We couldn’t have asked for better weather and an overall beautiful day!

I’m thrilled to share that together with wonderful, bestselling writer @linoliver22 , we’ve created a new book series for kids “The After-School Kindness Crew”! The first book comes out May 5, 2026 from @PenguinKids . Inspired by the @mindUP program, each book will show kids solving everyday problems with kindness, curiosity and mindfulness. The books will also include brain breaks throughout, guided breathing exercises that allow the reader to pause, take a breath, and collect their thoughts. You can pre-order your copy today at the link in my bio.
Today we’re celebrating World Mental Health Day by sharing one of our favorite free resources for parents and teachers: our Brain Buddies video! 🧠
Kids will meet their amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex (voiced by our founder, @goldiehawn and her grandchildren) and learn how these amazing brain parts help them manage emotions and focus.
We’re deeply grateful to @snforg for their generous support in making this project possible. 🙏
The full video and resources are available for free at mindup.org and linked in our story and bio.
Let’s raise awareness and nurture a world where every child understands their mind and learns to care for it.
