Some days I find myself doling out great ideas, giving everything I can to all the people, places,  and projects I can ...... and then I realize I've not taken and applied any of the advice or guidance I give the kids I teach to myself.  Ouch. Big lesson.  And that lesson comes with a little burnout, which does zero to move the needle forward in my goals, and even less to help the kiddos I am committed to help reach theirs. This week is about stopping the guilt, assessing the needs, then a little 'practice what you preach' moment. Join our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?

This week Keyva is helping us sort out the when and wheres of helping these kiddos manage their mental health. The idea of a 'mental health day' comes up.  Then she gives us something that I know I for one really needed..... she gives us permission to not only give the kids back the problems with kindness (because they are not ours to carry), and gives us permission to tell them that we care about what their going through, but that this is not the time.  We can do that friends. We can acknowledge and set aside a time later, but we do not need to manage this right now. Want more of Keyva? She is a certified councillor and takes on new clients. [email protected]://crystalclarissacounselling.comJoin our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?

It's a slippery slope  that sometimes we don't even realize we are on if we are not making conscious choices about how we lead our kiddos. Wanting to win is cool, totally cool.  How we get to the win, that's what needs the attention. I hope this week's conversation is a catalyst for conversion in your world. Join our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?

This past week I had to tackle something totally foreign to me and I ran into many many MANY frustrations.  It was a rude reminder to me that I have to remember not to talk to my students in the same way I would talk to someone who is an expert already.  I need to use language and patience the matches where they are at in their learning journey.   It is after all not helpful to explain things as if they already know what you are talking about!This lesson led me down a wonderful exploratory train of thought.

We all know that feeling when burnout is lurking around the corner.  We fall into all our self-care activities...drink water, get more sleep, take a bubble bath.  One of our most important self-care requirements is about what we are feeding our brains and our hearts for inspiration, and it's often the one we forget. Having a mentor is the best way to do that, and you can have a mentor you have never met and has no idea the impact they have on you.  - authors of books that impact you - podcasters who inspire youToday's episode is all about what mentorship is and how to seek that anti-burnout support you might not have even known you were looking for. Join our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?

It's a tough balance as a coach or teacher.  Making sure you are honouring each individual kids needs to be seen, to be themselves, to feel comfortable in the safe space you have created for them, AND making sure that you are ensuring that stays true for each and every kid.  Tall order. One of my youth leaders Ellen joins me this week to see if we can dig into exactly how to do that.Join our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?

This week I have a guest co-host once again. Kara and I talk about what it's like when life at home is bigger than life in the studio, on the field, or on the rink. Trying to balance the love of what they do with you, with the realities of life at home, (that we may or may not know anything about) can be a tough balance. Our job is to support them. This is their journey.  Kara had a great quote this week. Sometimes talking about it is hard, but they want to know you are there and that you see they are struggling, so if we could:"ask them indirectly" then they get what they need, and know you see them and are there if they need you.Another brilliant nugget from one of my youth leaders!Thanks to Kara for sharing herself with us. 💗Join our mailing list and get your FREE Kindness Warrior Kit www.stellarhumanproject.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stellarhumanproject/ I'm also on Insta @stellar_human_project Got comments, ideas, thoughts?
