195. Nervous System Literacy with Monica Rollins of Rooted: A Wellness Collective
About this episode
Monica Rollins is the founder and CEO of Rooted, a wellness collective. She partners with preschool programs to give teachers what traditional SEL training misses: practical nervous system literacy, trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices, and the co-regulation skills needed to lead calm, connected classrooms. Her approach is grounded in brain science, honors cultural responsiveness and centers the belief that regulation, not behavior management, is the foundation of social emotional learning.
In this episode, Monica tells me about how her work in early childhood education, emphasizing the importance of nervous system literacy. We dive deep into the importance of regulation and of course we get into starting a new business!
