One Night. One Decision. One Life Gone. (And the Message Every Teen Needs to Hear) Scarlett's guest is Kelli Sallee, a powerful and compassionate speaker who has spent more than a decade working with Drive Sober of Greater Lafayette, helping prevent impaired driving through education and honest conversations with students. Kelli's work is deeply personal. She shares the story of her best friend, Tiffany “TK” Krammes, who was tragically killed by a drunk driver—an experience that forever changed Kelli's life and became the reason she chose to turn pain into purpose. Through storytelling and heartfelt dialogue, Kelli doesn't speak to shock—she speaks to connection. Her message is unforgettable: “Don't make short decisions that will have long-term consequences. Your choices matter.” That message aligns powerfully with what we teach at Choose Love: there is always a Choice Moment—a space between what happens and what we do next—where we can choose courage, responsibility, and love. Kelli is living proof that one person's voice, one brave conversation, and one loving intervention can change outcomes—and even save lives.

Jessica Dibb, author of Breathworks and Psychotherapy: Clinical Applications for Healing and Transformation Scarlett and Jessica discuss the practice of breathing and its importance in the process of choosing love. When we consciously breathe, we can have a physiological experience of feeling love. Jessica offers compelling reasons to integrate the power of breathwork with psychotherapy and other healing and wellness practices. Each full breath we take has a beneficial impact and it only takes 7 minutes a day to practice breathwork. If we take that full breath consciously, with awareness, the benefits are exponentially increased. Conscious breathing is a powerful mechanism for transforming our physiological, emotional, and brain states, and is the fastest way to cultivate integrated presence.  Learn more About Scarlett here: https://chooselovemovement.org/

"The Science of Revenge” with James Kimmel Scarlett's guest is James Kimmel, author of "The Science of Revenge." James has joined Choose Love as one of our newest advisors. His groundbreaking research has uncovered something that could revolutionize how we understand and address conflict in our schools and communities—that revenge operates as a powerful addiction in the human brain, one that most people don't even recognize they have. This discovery has profound implications for educators, parents, and anyone working to create safer, more compassionate environments for children. James's work is helping us understand why traditional approaches to discipline and conflict resolution often fail, and more importantly, it's giving us new tools to break cycles of retaliation before they escalate. As we integrate these insights into Choose Love programming, we're not just teaching students to manage their emotions—we're helping them understand and overcome one of the most destructive patterns in human behavior. James's research is showing us that when we address revenge addiction at its root, we can create lasting change that transforms not just individuals, but entire communities.

Safety and Well-being of our Children and Educators with Dr. Ryan Carlson The most important thing is the safety and well-being of our children and educators. In this podcast, Dr. Ryan Carlson talks about a revolutionary system for identifying and managing aggressive behavior called critical aggression prevention system or CAPS. He discusses why CAPS is better than the current systems in place such as ‘see something say something', conflict resolution, active shooter drills and others because it is important to identify and manage aggressive behavior before it escalates into an issue. Utilizing Dr. Carlson‘s military background, the program seeks to engage, diffuse and redirect, aggressive behavior through developing and ongoing relationship, relationships, and trust. In its early phases, behavior issues can be seen as opportunities for connection. This is an engaging and productive conversation about an issue that continues to plague not only our schools, but every aspect of our lives.
