Together they explore how PCC and AME align, why safety must come before cognition, and how whole-human education can transform schools.

In this episode of the Education Transformation Podcast, Alexandra is joined by Chris Reck, founder of Already Mindful and a leading voice on nervous system literacy in education. Chris shares his journey from curiosity to contribution — exploring how nervous system awareness can transform not only how teachers show up in the classroom, but also how students learn, regulate, and thrive. Together, Alexandra and Chris discuss why the future of education must be nervous-system informed, how co-regulation can replace outdated models of control, and why simple practices like breathwork, presence, and routines can shift entire classroom dynamics. Listeners will hear powerful stories from Chris’s work, practical tools they can apply right away, and a vision for an education system where regulation and resilience are at the heart of meaningful learning. If you’ve ever wondered how teacher wellbeing connects to student success, or how we can build classrooms that feel safe, compassionate, and alive with curiosity, this conversation will inspire and equip you.
