Liza May Read

In this episode, I was lucky enough to chat with someone who is a true visionary and storytelling alchemist: Liza May Read. Liza is the creator of the “Go Where You Grow” program, which is geared toward kids. And it’s literally doing just that—it’s growing.Currently, the program consists of a series of five books authored by Liza May Read, all of which fall under the umbrella of Social and Emotional Learning. Liza passionately explains the expansive innovations of the program, and we truly get to feel her love for helping kids and families as a whole.She candidly walks us through her journey of discovery, which includes both triumphs and disappointments. This is a wonderful conversation with a woman who offers a genuine play-by-play of what it feels like to have a calling and a vision—and the fears and inner turmoil one often navigates while in hot pursuit of such endeavors.Much of Liza’s progress and success seems to stem from her own decisive behavioral shifts to literally “go where she grows.”
