Welcome, I am so glad you have joined in today as we take a deep dive into all things Educate to Advocate! Growing up with undiagnosed dyslexia, as a mother of a child with dyslexia, and as an occupational therapist working with hundreds of children with dyslexia, through the Dyslexia Center of Tulsa, the Educate to Advocate Podcast was born. My mission, it’s simple! It is to create a safe space to explore the lived experiences of learning differences that go beyond the classroom for parents, teachers, therapists, and everyone in between. You are not alone! Understanding the tears and celebrating the wins from my heart to your home. Production by Citizens of Sound

Happiness! We seek it, chase it, and just know it is right around the corner.

It starts with the adults in their life. Meredith Waddel shares highlights from the 4-year comprehensive Health and Wellness curriculum she developed for school age children on intentional practice to achieve lifelong sustainable happiness. Meredith shares real life applications of the five pillars: relationships, kindness, gratitude, physical body, quiet and gratitude you can use today. Discover your happiness and the happiness in a child.
