In this episode, I'm joined by Lael Stone [https://laelstone.com.au/].

Lael is an educator, TEDx speaker, author, mother, and parenting counselor. She is also the co-creator of Woodline Primary School [https://woodlineprimary.com.au/], an innovative new school based on emotional wellbeing and connection. Lael is the co-host of The Aware Parenting Podcast [https://laelstone.com.au/project/the-aware-parenting-podcast/] and a sought-after public speaker who talks candidly about her experiences and her great passion; creating wellness in families through connection and communication.

Listen to me speak with Lael about her journey with Woodline Primary School and her dream for an education system that prioritises emotional wellbeing for teachers and students.

Your homework: 

 * Think about what opportunities you have in your current environment that would allow you to prioritise connection and emotional expression. If you feel you have these opportunities, what can you try now? If you don't, what might you be able to influence in your environment to create space for this?
 * Explore some of the resources below to learn more about trauma-informed practice or emotional expression.

The Teacher Healer podcast is a space where we get to geek about education and heal the world at the same time. Come down the rabbit hole to define what we think education could and should look like to make school better for kids, teachers and society as a whole. We’ll talk about healing and what kinds of healing are most needed to create the future we want to live in and raise our kids to grow up in. This is a podcast about finding solutions to heal the world and heal ourselves. It's for educators, school leaders, parents and healers.
