Hi there! I'm Jenny, and I'm a wife, teacher, and cat mom - in that order. After a head injury benched me from the special education classroom in 2022, I had to find a new way to support students with challenging behaviors and the teachers who serve them. I launched Braving BSEL to promote Behavioral, Social, and Emotional Learing through coaching, training, education, and resources! I have a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, and am passionate about improving the lives of educators and students, one behavior at a time. When I'm not geeking out on the research, I'm usually reading a book or snuggling with my husband and our cats, Gibson and Binks.

Hello! My name is Maria, and I am an educator, reading specialist, and mother of three young children. After years of being in the classroom teaching young readers and writers, I noticed a strong need for developing early literacy skills during the early childhood years. Even after becoming a stay-at-home mom, I still felt a strong pull towards working with young learners. While shuffling between diaper changes, naps, and play dates, I built a small business called Growing in Literacy, where I educate and empower parents of young children in the development of early reading and writing skills. However, instead of using traditional worksheets and flashcards, I focus on learning these skills through a play-based learning approach while also educating parents about the importance of early literacy skills. If you want to get started working on essential early literacy skills, you can sign up for my free guide with a week's worth of letter-learning activities you can try with your budding reader. https://growinginliteracy.lpages.co/free

I'm Erin! I'm a mom to 4 girls born in under 5 years and a former high school teacher and college history professor. As a busy working mom of four kids 5 and under, I was obsessed with finding ways to manage everything on my plate without my house looking like the aftermath of a tornado (or locking myself in the bathroom and crying). In 2017, I founded The Incremental Mama where I now help overwhelmed moms organize their lives and homes so they can enjoy what matters most.

Hey there, I'm Joey! I'm a motivational speaker and coach, helping teens wrangle confidence, navigate emotions, forge friendships, and smash their goals. Armed with a Master's in Education, a Bachelor's in Creative Writing, and a couple of coaching certifications, I'm primed to help teens excel. I also moonlight as an improv comedian and stage performer where I’ve graced the hallowed grounds of Disneyland as both Darth Maul and the Mad Hatter (brag). During my stint as a middle school teacher, I willingly stepped into the lion's den of the discipline office, much to the disbelief of my principal (she thought I was nuts, and she wasn't entirely wrong). That's where my passion for coaching teens on confidence, social savvy, and goal-crushing began. After 7 years, I traded the classroom for a full-time teen coaching gig and became the brains behind Sidekick to Hero, an awesome new gamified mindset training app for teens. When I'm not juggling coaching and comedy, you'll find me in Salem, Utah, holding down the fort with my amazing wife and our four kiddos!
