You have been given something rare — a GOLDEN TICKET.

This is more than an invitation—it’s a golden ticket to a better future. Join a small circle of pioneers helping children feel safe in body and mind, learn with calm focus, and grow into kind, capable leaders. When schools feel safe, learning sticks, friendships deepen, and kids carry that steadiness home.

Why now

The need is real. In 2023, about 40% of U.S. high-schoolers reported persistent sadness or hopelessness; 1 in 5 seriously considered suicide, and nearly 1 in 10 made an attempt.
Adversity is common. About 64% of adults report at least one ACE, and 1 in 6 report four or more—patterns that echo into health, learning, and safety across a lifetime.
SEL works. A landmark review of 213 programs found an 11-percentile-point academic lift alongside better behavior and attitudes, with benefits lasting 6 months to 18 years.
And it pays off. Quality SEL delivers an estimated $11 in long-term benefits for every $1 invested.

Your GOLDEN TICKET to felt-safe schools

Why Mindful M3

Mindful M3 turns social-emotional learning into daily heroic habits kids remember under pressure. Three essentials weave through every routine:
Mindset (how I see), Manners (how I relate), and Movement (how I regulate).
Maya the wise owl, Milo the compassionate deer, and Max the freedom fox coach children through quick, repeatable micro-practices that travel from classroom to car ride to bedtime. Co-created with a real 9-year-old voice, M3 uses plain words, playful visuals, and two-minute rhythms that fit real life—at school and at home.

Your role

Claim your golden ticket by joining the Mindful M3 Pilot. Sign the NDA, receive the living draft, and add your insight. Your feedback helps shape a curriculum that strengthens felt safety, boosts focus, and grows calmer classrooms and kinder communities. A small shift in your time today can ripple into steadier kids, stronger families, and schools that feel safe the moment a child walks in.

This is not just another educational program. It is designed to cut off the root causes of struggle before they harden into lifelong pain — the kind of pain we see too often in Alaska, where homelessness touches far too many lives. Mindful M3 is built to give children the foundation of resilience, self-worth, and emotional intelligence that can prevent those struggles before they even begin.

You are not just evaluating a curriculum. You are helping plant seeds for a future where fewer children fall through the cracks, where more young people grow into thriving adults, and where communities are stronger because we invested early.

Step 1: NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)

This form, the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is not just a formality. It is your entry into a circle of people invited to help raise a generation of children with confidence, purpose, and sustainable happiness.

By signing the NDA, you are stepping into a role few will ever have: a trusted pioneer helping to shape the Mindful M3 Curriculum before it is shared with the world. Once I receive your signed NDA, I will send you the PDF draft of the curriculum as it exists today. It is raw, living, and still growing — and your feedback will help it blossom into the powerful tool children desperately need. Once I receive your feedback from review I will send you a free Gift for your time

Step 2: Your Role in the Pilot

You are not simply reading a curriculum—you are stepping into a movement.

By reviewing the draft and giving your feedback, you become a co-creator in something designed to change the way children grow, learn, and thrive. Your insights will directly shape how this program develops into a tool that can:
- Strengthen children’s mental and emotional resilience.
- Build healthier classrooms, families, and communities.
- Cut off the root causes of many struggles we see in adulthood.

Here in Alaska, homelessness is one of our deepest challenges. I believe strongly that if we can give children the right foundation—teaching them how to regulate their emotions, build resilience, and develop self-worth—then we can prevent many of the pathways that lead to homelessness before they even begin. Mindful M3 is designed to be that foundation.

You are one of the first to touch it, and your feedback will echo into the future.

Step 3: Our Vision

Our vision for Mindful M3 is bold and clear:
- First, to make it a solid and reliable social-emotional learning curriculum for homeschools. We have already begun this journey—approaching Denali Peak Homeschool, which gave a warm endorsement during a soft launch on May 22.
- Next, to bring it into schools of all kinds—private, magnet, and other organizations ready to adopt a whole-child approach.
- Ultimately, to expand its impact through cartoons, books, and educational toys that allow children to live and play inside the Mindful M3 world.

Step 4: The Pilot Evaluation Form

This work is still in draft form—unfinished, evolving, and in need of your thoughtful eyes. Time is of the essence. The challenges children face are not waiting, and the truth is, they needed tools like this yesterday.

You may notice that some of the material, at first sight, appears advanced for 4th grade — for example, lessons on subjectivity and objectivity. In practice, however, I have taught these same lessons to a 4th grade class by using the simple language of 'facts and feelings.' Each student was able to write a short story about a food experience using both facts and feelings in their sentences, and then we shared and discussed them together. The children didn’t need to master the concept — the point was to stretch their thinking, expand their growth mindset, and introduce them to the idea that they are capable of much more than conventional pedagogy often assumes.

As you complete this evaluation form, please focus on:
- Content clarity
- Flow and engagement
- Usability for educators and parents
- Ways to make it more game-like and experiential

What the data says

The need is real. In 2023, ~40% of U.S. high-schoolers reported persistent sadness or hopelessness; rates were higher for girls. One in five seriously considered suicide, and nearly 1 in 10 attempted.
Adversity is common—and costly. Among U.S. adults, ~64% report at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) and ~1 in 6 report four or more, which is linked to lifelong health, learning, and safety impacts. CDC
School safety and distress remain serious. In 2023, 19% were bullied at school, 9% were threatened or injured with a weapon on campus, and 13% skipped school because they felt unsafe; about 1 in 6 were electronically bullied. CDC MC Evidence
SEL works. A landmark meta-analysis of 213 programs found an 11-percentile-point academic lift alongside better behavior and attitudes; follow-ups show benefits persisting 6 months to 18 years after programs end. PubMed+1
And it pays off. Economic analyses estimate roughly $11 in long-term benefits for every $1 invested in quality SEL. Program-level benefit–cost reviews (e.g., Second Step) also show positive expected returns.

Why Social-Emotional Learning—and Why Mindful M3

A Hero’s Journey Kids Can Live

Every child is the hero of a story in progress. The “dragon” might be a big feeling, a conflict with a friend, a tough assignment, or a restless body. Heroes need a clear path, reliable tools, and trusted guides. Without a shared practice, emotions run the day and learning stalls. With one, kids feel safe inside their own skin, connect with others, and lead themselves with confidence.

Mindful M3 turns SEL from concepts into daily heroic habits. We weave three essentials—Mindset (how I see), Manners (how I relate), and Movement (how I regulate)—into short, repeatable practices kids remember under pressure. Our friendly guides—Maya the wise owl, Milo the compassionate deer, and Max the freedom fox—coach children through micro-routines that travel from classroom to car ride to bedtime.

Made with a 9-year-old, for 9-year-olds

Mindful M3 is co-created with my 9-year-old daughter. She pressure-tests every routine in real life—morning rush, recess conflicts, homework time, bedtime wind-down—so the language lands, the timing fits, and the visuals invite kids to join in. This is a curriculum designed with children, not merely for them.

Why this matters

Kid-true language. Plain words, quick cues, and scripts children actually use.
Real-world fit. Two-minute micro-routines sized to school rhythms and family life.
Peer resonance. Kids lean in when a kid voice helps lead the way.
Home–school bridge. Practices move seamlessly from classroom to kitchen table to bedtime.
Agency and dignity. Children help build the tools they use, which increases buy-in and follow-through.

How Mindful M3 maps the Hero’s Journey

Call to Adventure: A feeling spikes, a conflict appears, attention drifts.
Allies & Tools: Maya, Milo, and Max introduce kid-ready skills—name the state, breathe, reframe, reset the body.
Training Montage: Two-minute routines build automatic skills through repetition.
The Quest: Kids use M3 in real moments—on the playground, during homework, at the dinner table.
Return with the Gift: The hero shares the win—calmer choices, kinder words, better focus—so the whole group benefits.

What makes Mindful M3 different

Built by an educator-clinician. Created by a veteran teacher with deep experience in mental and physical healthcare, integrating neuropsychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy with real classroom insight.
Clinical practices, kid-ready. Evidence-based emotional regulation and thinking skills—breathwork, body awareness, CBT reframes, sensory resets—translated into playful, two-minute routines.
One language for school + home. Scripts, visuals, and call-and-response cues keep adults and kids aligned so practice sticks beyond the lesson.
Movement that regulates. Purposeful micro-movements down-shift stress and up-shift focus, preparing the brain to learn.
Proven in private practice. These are the same methods used successfully with clients—now adapted for children and groups, field-tested daily with a real fourth-grader.

The result

Calmer classrooms. Kinder relationships. Stronger focus. Safer choices. Heroes who can name their state, shift their state, and choose their next step—on purpose.

Bring Mindful M3 to your learners. If you lead a school, homeschool, or youth program, let’s connect for a quick conversation and sample lesson. We’ll show how M3 turns “teach it once” into “live it every day”—so every child can lead their own heroic story.
