How far would you go to rewrite the script of your life? We sit down with Queen, a retired middle school teacher who ditched the grind, moved to Mexico’s Lake Chapala, and found a spiritual awakening that reshaped everything—from health and creativity to purpose and community.Queen takes us inside the practical and the profound. She shares the research that made moving abroad possible, why the expat community mattered, and how meditation, yoga, and hiking helped her lose 40 pounds and gain clarity. Then the story pivots: a crisis call home, months of full-time caregiving, and the heartbreak of losing both parents. Through grief, she returned to a seed she had planted earlier—52 original quotes—and grew it into a living curriculum for Generation Alpha, the first fully 21st-century cohort raised on screens and instant information. We explore how kids can build self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and conscious decision-making, and why traditional classrooms struggle to teach what teachers don’t practice.The conversation widens as Queen traces her maternal DNA through African Ancestry to the Fula people of Guinea-Bissau and steps foot in her ancestral village. That homecoming sparked a nonprofit focused on generational trauma, cultural reconnection, and tools that pass healing forward. Now based in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, she’s refining the 52 Insights curriculum with videos and practices designed for schools, homeschools, and youth groups ready to center mindfulness and agency in a noisy world. If you care about identity, purpose, and equipping kids to think clearly and feel deeply while navigating AI and overload, this one will stay with you.Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who works with youth, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.
