Modern life has become a gauntlet of "dangerous weather" that frequently strips away our most basic human needs.In this episode, Emily speaks with author and strategist Stephanie Malia Kraus about her book, How We Thrive, and the essential practice of "rehumaning." Stephanie breaks down the four systemic forces, from hustle culture to addictive tech, that undermine our well-being and offers a roadmap for reclaiming play, wonder, and rest. The discussion bridges the gap between ancient Hawaiian wayfinding and modern neuroscience, highlighting the critical importance of restorative "downstates" and simple regulation tools for navigating an increasingly overstimulated world.Listen and Learn:How the Hawaiian tradition of Wayfinding teaches us to navigate a world that has "shifted on its axis" by anchoring into timeless human essentials, and influenced Stephanie's bookWhy the friction you feel in parenting isn't a personal failure, but a biological mismatch between our human nature and modern society Recognizing the four universal forces: Overtapped, Overworked, Overstimulated, and Overwrought, and understanding why feeling depleted isn't a personal failure, but a natural response to the "stormy" conditions of modern living Why our modern "social jet lag", the mismatch between our hectic schedules and our biological needs, is fueling a youth mental health crisis, and how reclaiming "human essentials" like sleep, play, and internal attunement can act as a biological superpower for both parents and teens How the practices of celebrating small wins, contributing to others, and nurturing an inborn sense of belief act as biological shields that restore our dignity and spark a protective sense of hope even in the most difficult seasons of life How "lemon squeezes", a simple technique of tensing and releasing your muscles for 20 seconds, uses the science of progressive muscle relaxation to signal safety to your nervous system and bring your body back into balance in less than a minute Resources:How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781071957561 https://rehumaningourlives.substack.com/https://www.rehumaning.com/Connect with Stephanie on Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@StephanieMaliaKrausshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemaliakrauss/https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemaliakrauss/ About Stephanie Malia KraussStephanie Malia Krauss is an author, speaker, and strategist focused on rehumaning childhood and our lives.

In this episode, Dr. Katie Martin talks with Stephanie Malia Krauss about what it means to truly “rehuman” education in a rapidly changing and increasingly overwhelming world. Drawing from her work across education, youth development, workforce development, and human services, Stephanie explores how schools can move beyond simply preparing students academically to creating the conditions for young people to endure challenges, experience joy, and thrive. Together, Katie and Stephanie discuss the lingering effects of the pandemic, the developmental needs of young people, the role of technology in schools, and why play, movement, belonging, and human connection are essential for learning and well-being. Their conversation invites educators and leaders to rethink what schools are optimizing for—and what it would look like to design systems that support whole humans, not just academic outcomes.

This episode features a conversation with Stephanie Malia Krauss, author of the youth development-focused books Making It and her most recent release Whole Child, Whole Life. Stephanie has broad experience as an educator, school leader, youth worker, researcher, writer, and advocate. Having had a challenging educational experience herself as a young person, including dropping out of school after the eighth grade, Stephanie works to help adults who educate, develop and care for adolescents to better understand the array of factors that drive their growth and behavior so that adults can best prepare and support them along their developmental journey.In part one of our conversation, Stephanie and Jason talk about her motivations for writing her book, her approach to capturing and translating the volumes of research on adolescent learning and development in an accessible way for all readers while keeping true to the rigor of the research, and how youth are nestled within demographic and determinant profiles that help define who they are and can help adults best understand and support them.In part two, they talk about the meat of the book, namely the ten practices that adults do for kids to help them thrive, importantly starting with mental health, and including such factors as embracing culture and identities, nurturing social health through relationships and nudging social wealth through community support. They also talk about the centrality of belonging and what thriving actually looks like when you see it. And we learn about what Stephanie is doing now to get this knowledge out to those who need it.Additional Readings and ResourcesStephanie Malia KraussWholechildwholelife.comWhole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and ThriveMaking It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's WorldTeach for AmericaOpportunity YouthForum for Youth InvestmentJobs for the Future Social and emotional learningEpisode 1: Lessons with Dr. Joanna Lee WilliamsSearch Institute CERES Institute for Children and YouthProfessor Jonathan Zaff

Graduating from high school is a huge accomplishment for young people – but it doesn't always mean students are ready for what lies ahead. Stephanie Malia Krauss knows that firsthand. As a high school dropout, she “needed people and opportunities within and beyond school to prepare [her] for adulthood.” Krauss believes that's more important than ever before in a rapidly changing world, and she joined host Dustin Odham of FranklinCovey Education and Change Starts Here to outline the four currencies young people need to succeed – competencies, connections, credentials and cash. She and Odham, who have known one another for more than a decade, talked about her origins in teaching, her own unique learning path, a transformative experience in Africa, and her work now to prepare both young people getting ready to enter the wider world and the adults getting ready to receive them and interact with them. “Sometimes, there's a difference between what young people need to be ready for life in adulthood and for life in general … and what we get to experience in school,” she said. “There is a gap between completing high school and true readiness for life after it. So, that became this charge for me.” Be sure to follow Stephanie on social media:@stephanie_malia on Twitter@wonder_and_wayfinding on InstagramStephanie's website is www.stephaniemaliakrauss.com, and you can easily purchase her book on Amazon or Bookshop.If you listen to this episode, share that you bought the book after listening to the podcast on social media and tag Leader in Me, Stephanie will send you a signed bookplate!
