Lindsey Frank, M.Ed., CEO of The Butterfly Within and President of the Coalition of Schools Educating Mindfully (COSEM), joins us to explore how cultivating presence through heart-centered practices can transform schools and communities. With over 13 years of experience as an educator and now a global changemaker, Lindsey shares her courageous journey of stepping out of the classroom to embrace a broader mission of empowering others to unlock their “butterfly within.”
We dive into:
💥 Why presence is essential in our rapidly evolving, often disconnected world.
💥 The HEART strategy—a powerful tool to unlock presence and foster emotional regulation.
💥 The importance of mindfulness-based social and emotional learning (SEL) as a way of being, not just something to do.
💥 How COSEM is creating an evolving educational ecosystem that starts with adults and ripples into school communities.
Lindsey also leads a guided mindfulness practice to help you assess and deepen your own level of presence. Whether you’re an educator, parent, or leader, this episode will leave you inspired to create courageous, calm, and connected communities through heart-centered mindfulness.
