Mobilizing Kindness with Morgane Michael

You'd never know from the language in the intro clip to this episode, "humanity is contagious," that we recorded this conversation months before the pandemic hit North America. My guest this week is not psychic, but she is a teacher. Morgane Michael is an elementary school educator, professional development instructor, and podcast host. Her podcast KindSight 101 is about the mobilizing power of kindness in and out of the classroom. In fact, she was recently nominated for a Canadian Podcast Award! I had the great pleasure of being a guest on Morgane's show in the fall of 2019, and it was a true honor to flip the script. We talked about the difference between walking through the world as a teacher vs a podcaster, what's changed in education over the last decade, emotional regulation in kids and adults, how to connect with anyone, and of course Morgane shares two beautiful chance encounter stories. One that is thoroughly moving, and one that is sure to give you second-hand embarrassment. Now, remember, we recorded this months before the 2020 pandemic. Given the current state of education and the uncertainty over its future, this conversation may at times feel anachronistic. Like we're talking about some distant memory that wasn't just two months ago. And for that reason, I hopped on a quick video chat with Morgane just a few days ago. We talked about the current crisis and how it's affecting her as both a teacher and as a parent whose kids are currently engaged in remote learning.

We'd love to have you join the human connection revolution.
