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.

In this episode, I share the story of the night everything in my life shifted — a night filled with doubt, honesty, and a single question that led me back to faith: “Do you have a relationship with God?”

What followed was a journey through detachment, discernment, prayer, and quiet miracles.
From living near my best friend…
to stepping into my calling as an elementary special education teacher…
to opening my own shop…
this episode is a reminder that sometimes all God asks is that we keep believing.

Because when we stop clinging to what we think our life should look like, we finally make space for what God has been trying to give us all along.

This episode dives into:
✨ How detachment strengthens your faith
✨ The role of discernment in making aligned decisions

✨ The unexpected miracles that show up when you surrender
✨ Why trusting God’s timing changes everything

If you’ve been struggling with doubt, purpose, or spiritual identity — this episode is for you.

All she had to do was keep believing… and it would happen.

One year sober—and counting. In this episode of Brownies For Breakfast (soon to be In The Pink Podcast), I share the real story of how I went from hangovers and anxiety spirals to clarity, confidence, and peace after a full year without alcohol. I’ll take you behind the scenes of my journey—the cravings, the breakthroughs, and the surprising ripple effects sobriety had on my relationships, work, and self-trust.

*But this isn’t just about my story. We’re diving into the science of sobriety—what actually happens to your body and brain after 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and one year alcohol-free. Think: glowing skin, better sleep, improved liver and heart health, reduced anxiety, and even regrowth in areas of your brain that alcohol once shrunk.

Whether you’re sober-curious, doing a 30-day reset, or deep into your recovery journey, this episode is packed with honesty, encouragement, and proof that life really does get better without alcohol. Sobriety isn’t about what you lose—it’s about everything you gain.

Tally Koren arrived in London with 1 suitcase and a dream in the late 90th, and against all odds became an international Singer - Songwriter. Despite family objections and countless music business rejections, what kept her going was, turning every minus to plus, taking every refusal to become better, and every hard situation to do something good to herself and others.

Her turning point to fulfill her childhood dreams and to become a singer happened at the age of 26, while she was in a very un-happy marriage.

A singing teacher immediately recognised her talent and thought that her low voice is reminding of Karen carpenter.

In 2007 Tally made the decision to make her first album and not to wait for the record company.

Despite one of the top radios plugger telling her that she doesn’t have a chance to make it nationally being over 40. She made the choice to listen to the words of her song “Beauty of The Duty “saying “the only thing that holds you back is you”. Her song became a National success on the BBC radio 3 weeks later. Many of my other singles been play-listed with over 1000 radio stations in the UK and around the world.

Performances include: the Royal Albert Hall, The National Arboretum, The Belgrade

Theatre, Pizza on the Park, Pizza Express, The JW3, Electric Carousel, The Soho Revue Bar, the Forum (Kentish Town), Tate Britain to Celebrate William Blake’s birthday, The House of Lords, opening a football match at the MK Dons Stadium. Music in Films: “Rotten Fruit” Windmills of Your Mind, and Man Who Sold the World. TV advert for Bell Atlantic, USA phone company.

Her purpose in life is to inspire people to do what they love.

“For me, Free Will is not just a song - it’s a journey about resilience, commitment, and my life purpose to inspire people to make the best choices in life, have the courage to go for their dreams, never give up, and take every rejection to become better.”
