Featured Podcast
We are lifelong learners, educators & better world storytellers creating the humanizing content that we wish we had as kids.
Why? Without curiosity before judgment, our ability to see one another as unique, whole, beautiful humans starts to tangle.
This leads to knots within and between us.
Knots that lead us to treat other humans and our planet in a way that is not kind and compassionate.
Better World Ed’s real life human stories help us untangle these knots and reweave community.

WATCH EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS REFLECT ON WORDLESS VIDEOS AND STORIES FOR A BETTER WORLD
Let’s bring humanity into education for a better world.
Let’s weave empathy into classroom and home learning.
Let’s see our shared humanity.
For a better world, we must.
Why?
Too many of us grew up without support to practice understanding.
Understanding diverse people, cultures, feelings, mindsets, perspectives & ways of life.
Understanding ourselves.
Understanding our shared humanity.
Without support to practice curiosity before and beyond judgment.
Without support to deeply sense.
Instead, we were told we’re too sensitive.
Too many of us grew up without support to love learning for life.
To learn to love in life.
To build a better world.
Too much instructing.
Not enough guiding.
Too much stress on “knowing”.
Not enough love for questions.
Too much solving.
Too much apathy.
Not enough empathy.
Too much “don’t show emotions”.
Not enough embracing feelings.
Too much “be strong”.
Not enough healing.
Too much “you can’t change everything”.
Not enough “WE can change anything”.
Too much real world.
Not enough better world.
Too much brainstorming.
Not enough heartstorming.
We need education for our hearts. For a better world.
Without building our empathy and curiosity muscles, our ability to see one another as unique, whole, beautiful humans starts to tangle.
That leads to knots in our chests, bullying, prejudice, and bias.
Judgment. Discrimination. Dehumanization. Conflict.
Violence and war in our hearts and minds.
In our thoughts, words, and actions.
Trying to address our world’s challenges with wit and new ideas can feel good, but only for so long.
We can innovate to re-distribute all of our food and all of our funds, but how long will this last and what peace will it bring if we still hold on to bias, judgment, prejudice, ignorance, or hate deep in our hearts and minds?
That’s why better world stories are necessary for every one of us, ages 2 and up:
To love lifelong learning about self, others, and our world.
To learn to love self, others, and a better world.
To understand ourselves and each other through all of our complex and beautiful shared humanity.
To learn to resolve conflict. To be at peace with ourselves and others.
To suspend judgment and truly see one another. To humanize. To apologize. To heal together.
Let’s create a better world through authentic human stories and big life questions.
Early in life, every day, and everywhere.
Let’s untangle the knots within and between us.
Let’s reweave the fabric of our communities.
Let’s reweave a better world.
Let’s move from head to heart.
Let’s be peace.
Let’s Be WE.
