S4 E3 - Reimagining Learning: Dr. Robin Harwick on Trauma-Informed Education
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robin Harwick, visionary educator and founder of The Pearl Remote Democratic School. A trauma-informed, healing-centered school that reimagines what learning can look like for every child. We talk about how traditional systems often miss the needs of neurodivergent and highly sensitive students, and how safety, relationship, and voice must come before academics.
Robin shares the core principles behind her school such as choice, collaboration, and radical compassion. She offers practical examples of how teachers and caregivers can create emotionally safe environments where kids feel seen, heard, and empowered.
Have you ever wondered what a truly trauma-informed, healing-centered education could look like in real life? This conversation will give you hope, ideas, and a renewed vision for what’s possible.
