Send us a text! (US messaging rates apply)Today we bring you part 1 of 2 of our first ever Math Therapy Makeover "Before & After"!When Vanessa first met Lauren Keeling earlier this year, being "not a math person" defined her entire life.  Visiting Vanessa's tutoring centre in Toronto with her team from Imagine Learning's Heart Work podcast, Lauren was dreading her IRL math therapy session - literally terrified that Vanessa would ask her to do math with the mics on and cameras rolling!But what actually happened was magic; the two unpacked the roots of her icky feelings around math and talked through how to flip the script.  The 2nd episode of Heart Work's 3-part series on math anxiety included portions of that session, but Imagine Learning graciously allowed us to share the FULL convo with Math Therapy listeners!And what makes this EXTRA special is that Vanessa interviewed Lauren 4 months later to find out what changed - and we'll be airing THAT episode NEXT week!Links mentioned:3-part podcast series: "Heart Work: Breaking the Cycle of Math Anxiety" by Imagine LearningWatch this interview: extended video interview on Heart Work's YouTubeContact us:Vanessa Vakharia: Instagram, TikTok, EmailMath Therapy: Text the PodcastMore Math Therapy:Get the book: Corwin, AmazonAudiobook: Audible, SpotifyMerch store: Shop here
