30. Writing as a Wellness Tool with Mary Kethya Khuon of Write & Release

Being happy and safe in your body seems simple, but for most, it’s not. Instead, tools are needed to understand and build a voice towards emotional advocacy and self regulation. One way to do that internal work is through the act of writing. My guest on today’s episode, Mary Kethya Khuon, founder of Write & Release, is sharing how to use writing to improve teacher wellness.Writing is a tool that helps many cope and deal with emotions that are connected to their nervous system, which helps explain how a person reacts to certain circumstances and experiences. With her new program, she hopes to bring it into schools that will eventually give teachers and students a voice for themselves. Mary hopes that through writing, it improves teacher wellness while also teaching students skills while they’re young that will be transformative as they get older and move into adulthood. For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode30Watch our free on-demand workshop to learn more about flexible work opportunities beyond the classroom: https://www.educatorforever.com/workshopTake our free quiz to discover your next career step: https://www.educatorforever.com/quizFollow us on Instagram @educatorforever.
