Empowering Education: Jenna Discusses Aggressive Optimism and Mental Health in Big Ideas Podcast Interview

Hello my optimistic friend!

I had the most incredible time being interviewed on the Big Ideas in Education podcast.

We dove deep into the heart of my latest novel, "Aggressive Optimism," exploring themes of mental health, resilience, and the power of optimism even in the face of trauma.

Ever heard of "aggressive optimism"? It's a mindset where we acknowledge the challenges in front of us but remain fiercely optimistic about finding a way forward. It's about being real without dwelling in negativity, and it's something I'm super passionate about sharing, especially in the education space.

During the interview, we discussed how the book isn't just a story; it's a tool for educators, parents, and students to initiate important conversations about mental health and resilience. I shared my own journey of overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder and how I channeled that experience into creating a story that resonates with young people.

But here's the best part: I'm working on developing a curriculum to accompany the book, making it even easier for educators to integrate these crucial discussions into their classrooms. Plus, I offer a bulk discount for educators because I believe so strongly in the power of these conversations.
