In this episode, I talk with educator and author Susan Midlarsky about her book The Art of Learning Math: A Manual for Success.
We explore how math can be more than numbers—how it can help students see patterns in life, solve problems creatively, and rebuild confidence after math-related stress or trauma.
Susan shares:
How recognizing relationships and patterns helps students make sense of math and the world
Ways to address math anxiety and trauma with compassion and curiosity
The importance of student-led problem solving over rote memorization
How connecting math to real life builds confidence and resilience
This episode is perfect for educators, parents, or anyone looking to make math a more meaningful, empowering experience for learners of all ages.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
