What if the skills required to manage a chronic illness are the same skills students need to thrive in school?

In this episode, I share the origin of the CICERO Method—a framework I developed after a life-changing diabetes diagnosis—and how it evolved into a human-centered teaching philosophy grounded in emotional resilience, confidence, connection, and regulation.

We explore:
• Why emotional regulation is the foundation of learning
• How personal resilience frameworks apply to education
• The role of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in elementary classrooms
• How confidence and intelligence shape long-term student success

This conversation bridges health, human development, and teaching, offering a new lens on how lived experience can inform innovative educational practice.

If you’re an educator, graduate student, school leader, or anyone interested in learning, emotional intelligence, and resilience, this episode will change how you think about teaching—and being human.

🎧 Listen, reflect, and share with someone shaping the future of education.
