There comes a point where we have to stop asking whether a system is functioning and start asking what kind of human experience that system is creating...

In this episode, Brittanye and Sirel explore the deeper layers beneath modern education, authority, and the environments shaping future generations.

  • What happens when survival becomes normalized?
  • When performance outweighs connection?
  • When compliance becomes more valued than curiosity?

Through personal experiences, community stories, and honest reflection, this conversation uncovers the emotional and relational gaps many children and families are navigating silently every day.

But this is not just about schools...

It is about the nervous systems being shaped within them. The identities being formed within them. And the kind of relationship children are developing with themselves while moving through them.

Because education is never just academic...

Children are learning what safety feels like
 What pressure feels like
 What their voice means
 What connection means
 What being human means

This episode invites a larger reflection around systems, evolution, emotional intelligence, and what it would look like to create environments that support both learning and humanity.

Because systems do not change until the conversations around them do.

SPEAKER_02

I'm really excited about this. I know it's it's kind of like the energy has like redirected and I love that we follow it because I I truly like I'm a firm believer of this. When you force or you rush things, then it flops.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. And I love how, you know, we were talking about this initially, and then it, you know, the energy has kind of just led us around. And then like it just occurred to me, I'm like, right at this moment, this is when we need to be having this conversation. And it was just all of the things that you're doing coupled with the things that I'm doing. I'm like, wow, look at the alignment and how it just like all came together.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I love it too. I think it really supports what's been seated, you know. Absolutely. So like I love what you're doing in the community and how you're you're activating voice, right? Because I feel that so many people, when they feel that they have to use their voice, that it has to be done with emotion and power. And you're being guided through inner authority, and that's your awareness, that's your boundaries, that's just what you know, like the difference between right and wrong, what's working, what's not working, and then you're utilizing your voice to speak it. And I I truly believe that our words have so much power and depth and all of that, which is why they try to silence our voices, right?

SPEAKER_00

Very much so.

SPEAKER_02

You're being received, yes, you're being supported, right? So, like this this is being felt across our nations and absolutely.

SPEAKER_00

And just for the record, to circle back to our mirror session. I remember I told you in one of our sessions, it was like, I don't want to be heard, I want to be felt. I came across that journal entry yesterday as I was just doing some reading, and it occurred to me that exactly what you just said, it's not being heard, but it's being felt across you know, spaces that I didn't even even imagine that it would be heard. So I just wanted to give you the nod on that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's beautiful because you're being received. And so, like it's just it's so beautiful to witness that, right? And it I feel that the reason why you're being received is because you're leading with your inner authority. And so you're magnetic, you're aligned, and so people can receive that, and you have capacity, right? I do. So if you didn't have the capacity to be in this life experience, then you would have to redirect and redirect until you were able to, which I feel there were probably you could probably even go back, like honestly, to how maybe it felt that way, the repetition of just like, I guess nothing's gonna work.

SPEAKER_00

Right? And it's literally the repetition. I would just even say, just with my experience in general, that's just the way that I'm guided through repetition. There is always some sort of preparation work that has occurred before I enter these spaces. And I find that once I enter these spaces, it's easier for me to locate that inner authority because it's like I've been here, I have the knowledge, I've had the experience, I've got the know-how. So I know what I'm doing here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and that's beautiful. I love this so much. Okay. Well, this is gonna be powerful because this isn't just opinion, this isn't perspective, this is real life, and it's happening everywhere. And so I really want to bridge, you know, I really want to bridge relationship in this because relationship is everything. Yeah. And our children deserve to have the most solid relationship with themselves. However, that foundation is being destroyed because they're being removed from their autonomy, like they have no connection to their inner authority. On this episode, we have Brittana, and what a beautiful soul. So I had the pleasure of meeting Brittany. I want to say it was last year. It was last year.

SPEAKER_00

It was. It's been that long. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh. Yes. It was last year around, was it fall?

SPEAKER_00

I want to say it was fall. It wasn't quite winter.

SPEAKER_02

It wasn't quite winter. Okay. So it was fall of last year. And I want to, I really want to like position how this connection unraveled and how it was created because it wasn't just a hey, let's meet, what's the time? And then we did it. It was a very honoring experience. We were redirected, time was redirected. And the one thing that I loved about this connection is that we honored it. It wasn't forced. I never felt like I was being canceled on. You know, I never once felt like, oh, well, this isn't gonna work out, right? Or maybe whatever. It was just like an on, it was an it was a great experience to actually be a part of.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, if I take it back to when we actually met, we met when I was I was organizing the Thanksgiving drive. And I remembered the day I was supposed to meet with you. We had a date, we had a time, we were ready to go. And at that time, like I didn't have any turkey donors, I had nothing. And I had just made a joke to the person I was partnering with to do the drive that the turkeys were gonna fall out of the sky.

unknown

I remember that.

SPEAKER_00

And then the day and time that we were supposed to meet, I had a donor reach out and they were like, Hey, can you meet me at the grocery store? I want to give you 12 turkeys in hand. At the same date and time that we were supposed to meet. And I was like, oh my god, like I guess I can move this meeting around. And I will say, like, it was so effortless. It wasn't like I didn't feel guilt about doing it. It was intentional for that purpose, and we were just redirected. And even with that redirection, the connection just came through so solid.

SPEAKER_02

It came through so solid. And you know, can you imagine if that redirection wasn't followed? If because I know that a lot of people, their relationship with commitment to time or schedule or all of that, it's hard for people to cancel because they're worried about what are they gonna think? Am I gonna lose this opportunity? Is this da-da-da-da, right? So people feel that. And I feel that it shouldn't because the redirections are in fact a gift.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. And I think that it's just ingrained in us in society that we're supposed to just push through everything and we're supposed to not disappoint people, and we're supposed to just show up even when the energy is saying that we shouldn't. And I just love having this connection because it's always been honored and it's always been fluid, you know. Like we've always understood that, like, hey, if the energy is sending one person another way for right now, like we will circle back to it when the energy aligns, and it is always aligned so beautifully.

SPEAKER_02

So be I just got chills. I got chills because I just I yeah, I'm grateful. Yeah. So then we finally connected and I got to receive the story of why the redirection was had, and that was a gift for me. It was a gift to not only meet a new friend, but to feel her passion, to feel her purpose and what she was doing in our community. And then it was like we connected, and I it was rooted at that point. It was rooted because you came with such a powerful, you know, introduction. You didn't lead with this is my name, this is my role. And you led with like who you are.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. And that was so important these days because a lot of the time we are leading with our name, our status, our role, versus like who are you at your core? So I'm so glad that I got to lead with that because it was it was a moment for me, like even in doing that turkey drive, that was a test for me, because that wasn't something that I had any experience in that arena at all. And the way that it just fell together was so beautiful. And you know, that's always who I've been in my core, is wanting to help others, wanting to see others do well. So I'm so glad that I got to like lead with that experience.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So how many families did did you end up feeding?

SPEAKER_00

I think it's 30. It was 32, I believe. Wow. It may have been more, but I'm pretty sure it was 32.

SPEAKER_02

And that was turkey and all the fix-ins. Veins, greens, potatoes, tomatoes.

SPEAKER_00

And it was great because when the idea was brought to me was actually when they had decided to stop the snap benefits. And ideally, what I thought I was gonna do was just collect cannabis for you know, food drive donations and donate them to uh food bank. And it came to me like, oh, you should do Thanksgiving dinner. And I was like, Yeah, that's a lot though, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Um You're talking to yourself while you're driving, like what?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you're like excuse me. And it's like, you know, where am I gonna store turkeys and hams? Like I don't even know how to execute the logistics of this. I have no experience in this arena, are you sure? And it came back around and I touched Date with a business owner I've done content for her. She is such a beautiful girl. But she came, you know, we had a meeting, she did, you know, walk me down the logistics and I'm like, okay. Well I guess if I'm being put in this position to do it, I'm gonna do it. And I was I you know, was kind of discouraged at first because like the donations weren't coming in the way that I anticipated. And I was like, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do this. Like maybe I'm just gonna do a box of sides and that's feasible. I'm not gonna do certain hands because they're too expensive. And she was like, Well, maybe we can, you know, talk to her grocery and see if we can get some for a decent price. So like four days before we were set to pack boxes, we did not get that from said grocery at a reasonable price. And walking out of her shop and she's like, What are you gonna do? Like she's like, I can hear the panic and I know that there should have been panic. And I was like, I don't know, turkeys are gonna fall out of the sky. I laughed and left. I was like, I I don't know what I'm gonna do here. And it was really just like knowing that if it's a panic to me, it was already done. But then it with a lot of utilizing my voice. I had made a video on another platform a couple of days prior. It was about ask not. Or you asked not, so you have not. And so I was like, I'm just gonna shoot a shot in the dark and like tell people what I need and let's see what happens. And it just like to the point that when I checked out at at the grocery store as you know, I was grabbing the lots of the turkeys, I literally had a three cent difference between donations and what was due at the register. I had three cents left over from donations. It was almost like that. So yeah, it was a beautiful time and really was something that pushed me into utilizing my voice like on a community scale first age. Yeah, don't get me wrong, like I've been a content creator for a while, and I love I love a good trip, I love a good experience, I love great food. And listen, you can take me anywhere for a cocktail, but it was definitely a different arena, and I love just how beautifully it came together.

SPEAKER_02

That is so good. And you're right, like what is content? What is the value of content and why do people create content? And what is the intention with that? And I want to say I do feel like I can feel the shift, and in where you are like, oh wow, the impact of my voice, the impact of the content that I create now could amplify and it could reach so many, right? And like you said, yes, you love experiences, you love bringing people into their town and and knowing where to go and supporting small businesses and and all of those things. But I think understanding how powerful you are and how you can impact, you know, not just business owners, but possibly people that fall a little bit beneath them, I think is absolutely beautiful.

SPEAKER_00

The platform that I'm creating extends so far beyond luxury and a great time, because I'm all about a great time, but it extends to really helping teach, educate the community, you know, being able to lift each other up and being able to community build. I mean, we live in 2026 America, like it is time for us to start community building, and you know, the current events are showing us that in several different systems, not even just the government, like people think. It's showing up in education, it's showing up in healthcare, it's showing up, you know, in so many other realms. So I I like even found it like harder in my spirit to just create superficial content. Like at this point now, my spirit leads me to speak what needs to be spoken with that inner authority and authentically and whatever that may look like on any given day. And it it's been a an amazing, interesting shift, because it was not a shift on my bingo card, but I am so grateful and blessed for it.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you for sharing that. And as we shift into this, you know, your platform and the systems, the systems are very broken. And this is the power within us. When we have awareness, when you become aware of the systemic failures that are happening, what do you do about it? Because I see so many people seeing and feeling the failures, and then it's either like this is just the way it is, or we start reacting emotionally, and that does not solve anything. So, how do we come back to center? How do we come back as a community aligned with that inner authority and take charge? And I feel for today, like that is what you are doing in our community in Kansas City today. And I truly feel that it will amplify. And this is how the ripple happens, and this is how we create change. So let's let's get dirty. Let's go. When did an awareness start for you? Um, when you started feeling the failures within within the system.

SPEAKER_00

Very, very all right that you asked me that. So again, it goes back into I've never been put in a situation where I did not have some sort of prior prep work, so to speak. And I actually have a background in education. I worked as a paraeducator for four years or so before I had my son. I have worked as in social work as a, you know, case manager and also with social work as an advocate. I I like to better on that side. People actually liked me over there. And you know, and going through these various career fields, all of which I was, you know, as I came along, like I didn't even feel qualified to do. I was like, you know, I don't even have a background in education, like, but I had a general high school teacher give me a job as a parent. So I had all the I gained all this knowledge and all this you know, experience through these employers and I will say I had my son and I've gone through so much with uh industrial background. Both of my boys are diagnosed with autism. And to be fair, I had to fight like hell to get a diagnosis for them because it was pretty much like, oh, they're smart and they talk, so there's no way that they can have autism. However, their autism shows up in a different way. But we got our diagnosis and I put my son into the school system, public school system. It was pre-K. I was a teacher in daycare too, and I noticed a lot of the behaviors and things that, you know, were concerning to me when they were moving him out of my classroom. But, you know, part of me is like, maybe it's because I'm his mom. But we moved him into the public school system and we were seeing some really big behaviors. And we couldn't figure out why those behaviors were happening. We ended up getting linked up with a really good developmental pediatrician. I cannot thank her enough for how great she is that she was able to diagnose him initially with ADHD. So we started medication to be able to kind of dial back some of those symptoms that and those big behaviors that we were seeing in the classroom. And for a while it worked. But as we rolled back those ADHD symptoms, we started to see more of the autism symptoms coming forward. And so we ended up doing the evaluation and the level two office room. We were having huge behaviors in kindergarten and we were explaining to the kindergarten teacher like we believe on the spectrum. You know, because he was doing things like hiding under desk and putting things in his mouth and really having struggles with transition and those types of things. And so we're explaining to the teacher and she had been a teacher for a long time, and I think she was a great teacher. It was just she really didn't understand my sense and his needs. And so he moved into, you know, the next grade, and I didn't really hear teacher that grade at all. And I was like, Oh, well, maybe, you know, medication is working, maybe we're doing well. Well, we get to second grade, which so happens to be my daughter's second grade teacher. And second grade is like, nah, no, no, no. Like she is very familiar with me, so she was able to sit down with me and really like have some candid conversation. And over him going into second grade that summer, we had gotten the diagnosis, so we sent it to the school, and of course it wasn't on files. So we explained his diagnosis to his teacher, gave her the report, and these are some of the things that you're gonna see, and this is how you can utilize schools to work with him. And to be fair, like, you know, she did awesome with him. There were times that he would have meltdowns, but we were really able to have that communication. And we got to third grade. And and but uh, you know, I guess to circle back, we've been requesting like IEP services that's 3K, 50 to 3, because we were concerned about speech, and then as these big behaviors went on, like we were concerned about those, and then the author and added in, so we had a lot going on, and so literally I've been requesting an IEP evaluation every year, and I was getting denied. And I mean denied because he was off by two points on the testing sort of thing. So third grade, we get there and we get a call when they add them handing out or no, we were working with Gallagher's Coffee, and they were giving out groceries to those that didn't have access to transportation for staff. So I'm running delivery for them. And in that time, I'm getting a call from my son's school, he's adding big behaviors, he's hitting, he's kicking the vice principal, you need to get there. And so, me being the collaborative bearer I am, I'm like, All right, I'm on my way. And I get there and I have a conversation with them, and we trying to get to the bottom of what was going on and it definitely wasn't an issue where like my son was like a root cause like yes he had a small behavior but this big behavior came from the reaction from adults and so we had that conversation but back in December we had another incident where again you know he's on the spectrum there was a situation where he was asked to do an assignment he could verbally speak answer but couldn't get it written down on paper because of the written expression type of thing. And you know his teacher unbeknownst to her you know she's like alright you know we're just gonna move out and you can do it at recess and he agreed to do that. They're lining up and the kids are pushing in line and you know he's all about personal faith so he's stepped to the side of the line. At that point like he's told that because he's not in line he can't go to recess and he's got an escort called to escort him out of the bathroom and at that point he loses it because it was compounded. It was I'm already frustrated because I know the answers to my work. I can't get it on the paper. And now I'm losing my resets. I was already gonna lose my resets to do the work and now I'm losing my reset because I was stepped out of the way and nobody asked me or talked to him about why that happened. And so we had huge meltdown behaviors to the point again they're calling me and they're like we need you to come to the school and it was in that moment that it like literally came out of my chest that no I'm not coming I'm not coming to the school. It is you know we're in a situation where he needs to be de-escalated and I'm more than willing to do that over the phone. But not going to continue to come to the school when he's being triggered, not listened to and then cleaning up the mess. It's not fair to me and it's not fair to him. And so we end up in a conversation with the principal and with her she is a great person but in this moment I felt it coming from my soul that I had to stay and stand my ground on it because of the situation and the principal wanted to stand her ground too and she's like you know he's dysregulated and he's not safe to get on the bus. So you need to come pick him up and I'm like he is gonna regulate to get on the bus and I'm gonna help regulate him but you know I noticed in that moment they were re triggering him by reminding him about why he was angry and the like saying things like oh you know I know that you're upset you can't go to research and I'm like you're so far beyond that at this point. Like we need to just regulate him and get him on the bus. So I was able to regulate and get him on the bus. But then I was told in that moment that oh he's gonna have out of school suspension and I'm like for what? You know and I was like okay that's why I go ahead and drop the paperwork because he had like Bible four in place. I want to know all of the interventions that you guys use all of the deescalation techniques and even in this moment as I'm talking to the principal sheet still didn't even have a full picture of what had happened prior to the meltdown. And so at this point like I'm furious and he comes home and we talk about it and the principal calls and within the OFF and admits that the 504 wasn't followed and really like gave me a full picture of what happened and I'm like okay we'll go back and redo this 504. And we have the meeting and in the meeting they're willing to give him so many accommodations out of this time. But I'm like if he needs this many accommodations probably need an IEP so I request that meeting and as I'm waiting on the district to you know affirm or deny whether or not they're gonna give a IEP evaluation there about a month later there's an incident with my daughter where I have been reporting bullying or you know children bullying her multiple school years since like second grade. And I'm gonna email her and keep everything in written documentation by the first thing. And there was a fight that happened at school and as a mom I'm already pissed about what's happening with my son in special education and now I'm getting a call that my child has been in a fight for what, you know, because my child is very to herself not confrontational out of character. Very much so and so I get to the school and my daughter's in the office I immediately lay eyes on her and I can feel her energy angry that it hurt it feeled not protected. And so we go into a meeting with the school and just a couple of weeks prior I mentioned that there was an incident on the bus with the same children and I was like you know I really think that you guys need to you can separate it so this doesn't go into the classroom. I wasn't hurt in that moment and this in fact was the result of that which the mom like with all of my professional experience I will have to say for that 30 to 40 minute conversation all of that literally went out of the window and I was another human being and I caught myself like I knew that I was responding from emotion but I was also responding from like this is true. Like not being heard the first time exactly and this was the result and not being listened to as a parent and you know not adults not listening to children and recognizing when situations need to be de-escalated and just crushing it off thinking that nothing will come of it. But at this point it was I think I need to use my voice and ask the community what's going on how what are their experiences and I made a post in a couple of community groups and asked about their experiences and their responses were mindful. Explain it made me very grateful that some of the things that were described did not happen to my child. But it also hurt my heart because there are other families that have dealt with much work and got much luck than we did. And at that point I was like okay well I need to press for it because this is an outstanding community response to how this district is handling the bullying policy and their student culture. I mean the policy is written but it's not being acted on because teachers are getting bullying reports and they're not being channeled appropriately as the policy said it should be. These are the things that have occurred to me in my personal journey that have made me realize that this system is so broken.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah so when the driving force when the driving authority is survival this is what happens and so what's happening in our communities is families are faced with these options that they don't have available to them because they're in survival right so how many parents are excited that their kids are going to go to school full time because they're not going to have to pay for childcare anymore why are parents feeling this way well because childcare is so expensive. It's more than a mortgage sometimes if you have multiples which puts you back into survival and then you have a job if you don't go to your job you lose your job that's your livelihood well that puts you in survival we have single parents that are working two jobs that are just trying to put food on the table. So while yes we can talk about the education system you go down even deeper and the driving force being you know the authority being survival within our America which is supposed to be landed free and one of the best countries to live in there's no reason why our American people should be surviving every day of their fucking life. There's no reason for it. And so that is what's keeping parents with their hands tied or it's well this is the way it is and there's nothing I can do about it.

SPEAKER_00

I've heard so many times in these conversations that like where parents are like oh they shouldn't do anything and I'm like so we as a community are okay with knowing that this is happening and nothing is being done to really rectify this at all. Yeah and people literally are just accepting that standard for their children.

SPEAKER_02

For their children or they say or they say oh well back in the day or I grew up worse or I turned out just fine and then you really have to ask yourself these questions.

SPEAKER_00

Take this a step further like these skills that we're teaching kids can also be taught to the adults that are teaching them because I mean I'll you know play devil's advocate here I guess you know for lack of a better phrase I've been in those classrooms and I've been a burnt out educator. I've been a educator where it I am so tired. I am so exhausted the pay does not reflect the work that I'm putting in I'm not appreciated you know all of those things and those educators deserve those same tools because again they need those tools because they're teaching our children. And even with our kids like being in the education system in general the old way the old regime is really molding the voices in our economy out of our children. From the very time that they come to school they're told when to be quiet. They're told how they can they're told where they should sit how long they should sit there. They're told when they can go to the bathroom they're told you know when they can play what they can play with. They are molded into these people, these worker bees and this is not the way that humans are designed to be and this is why we're seeing so much disruption and so much lack of progress in education. Because we're taking away the voice of the children. We're taking away their autonomy and we're molding them to be compliant follow the rules and I I dare to say in some district documents that I got it was oh he's mostly compliant also it's not a problem because he's compliant. You will not have any issues so long as he's compliant but the moment that he's not compliant and he's causing a behavior issue now we want to have conversations. And it's like no like we need to create a more educational space where kids are allowed to be emotionally intelligent and they're allowed access to their autonomy and this is how we as humans learn. But I do a chakra meditation series with a radical impact and in that education series or in that meditation series there's a meditation that goes over the third chakra and it was a question that I asked myself like when was the first time you lost your voice and I took it all the way back to like the moment I was put into school structured environment like you're literally told everything.

SPEAKER_02

You're told how to be human. Yeah and that's how you that's how the kids are being molded and so like I feel this completely and I get it our teachers do need to be supported they need to be valued they need to be heard they need to be seen and there is there is a way for that and just because you have a degree does not mean that you have the capacity to hold the the degree that that you obtained and so how do we bridge that how do we actually create space so that these educators the staff members you know the ones that are also in survival mode can be supported so that they can have the capacity to hold what it means to raise our future generation because it's not just education. If if you can tell them to be quiet, sit down, raise their hand and da-da-da-da-da-da-da, you are conforming them to fit into your box. So it's not just about education because you can educate outside of the box. You can educate outside you can educate in so many different ways but yet there's still a box why and yeah I think staff staff as a whole is important you know because you have like lunch people that are working with the children they're gonna be loud they're gonna have energy because they've just been sitting all day long they've had to be quiet they've had to ask permission and now they have a little bit of freedom so you're gonna get them when it's overwhelming. Bus drivers you're getting the end of the day the kids are excited they they're writ they want to talk they want to diss they want to be loud you're getting you know them at an in an overstimulated the intention here is to bring awareness and then I really want to bridge the tools okay so this is what's happening and this is how we're gonna fix it because there's a way to fix it. Yeah because there are organizations that help like even with what you're saying about teaching emotional intelligence yes it's available and it's not even just for the kids it's for the adults that are teaching the kids also well that's where they learn it from and that's where we have to start because if you have a regulated and centered educator that's gonna that's just gonna flow.

SPEAKER_00

Because this is what they're also they have to hold yeah they have to hold all of that that's a lot it is so you're spot on with that and I think what you're doing is so necessary and if you ask me my intuitive answer my intuitive answer will be that is the bridge that we have to start teaching people to ground their energy and really be intentional about the words that they say and having a shared language with these systems so that we're all on the same page and we're all being heard and received and felt.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah because and what is school because I feel like school is actually teaching our kids how to be human. It's not just the academics it's how to be human.

SPEAKER_00

You are a human and this is how we communicate and this is how you know we have relationship with ourselves like you know that feeling in in your stomach when it says hey this isn't a good idea you trust that like why don't we teach our kids that because that's gonna follow them for the rest of their lives and they're gonna be like remember when my teacher said okay I'm not gonna do this here we are in our you know midlife just now learning just hey I should follow my intuition I should you know really use my voice I should speak up for myself I should have a good for myself we're just now learning that and so what is the impact if we teach our children and like I said if we're making it like where the educators are learning too and they're learning how to take those skills and put them in other areas of their life literally we have an improvement and how are they being supported can they say can they raise their hand and be like hey I am so overstimulated right now I just need five minutes and let them go take five minutes.

SPEAKER_02

And then in those five minutes the other person comes in regulated and regulates the class like what is five minutes gonna do it's not gonna hurt anything.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah and your kids children are great receptors for energy children know when you're overstimulated. They feel it and you can always tell a child that you know is experiencing that through their behavior because that is how kids express themselves to the world. That's how they show up through their behavior and we're seeing all these behavioral disruptions and all of these things because all of these people that are surrounding these children are not regulated. And again even if we took this outside of education because we don't just use these tools in education we use these tools in everyday life how much better is humanity when people can learn to regulate themselves be in touch with themselves be aware of themselves and learn how to respond from you know their inner authority their power versus using their emotions to like bogard everything. A reactive protective space right that's the bridge that is the bridge it's the bridge sister I'm in the space now where it's like my my words my thoughts my ideas will be felt and not necessarily in the way of like fear but in the way of like revolutionary change and yeah like yeah inspiration. I can do this too yeah so I loved it when I saw that you what you were doing I was like oh here's the energy right here.

SPEAKER_02

Right here. Let's land it here because now you felt it now you're speaking it and this is a broadcast so it's going to be felt and heard and all the things and then now we're gonna live it because it's going to become we're going to manifest it we're going to create this together.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah because we're just not gonna sit on the sidelines and act like it's okay because it's not a lot of the money
