Everyone is biased: you, me, your teachers, your parents, even your kids – everyone. Despite all of our differences as human beings, as Liz Kleinrock puts it, “bias is our common denominator.” The question is: So what are you going to do about it?

Liz is an anti-bias and anti-racist educator for both children and adults. Through her curriculum, social media, and upcoming book, Liz’s mission is to teach us how we can recognize our biases as adults, approach tough conversations with an open mind, and start giving kids more credit than we usually do.

In this episode we explore:

• 1:37 – Expanding classroom conversations: How Liz first brought anti-bias education to her own curriculum
• 6:03 – Why we should stop underestimating kids & making decisions for what concerns them
• 7:39 – How to open up the conversation with students or your own children (Ask these two questions!)

• 11:58 – When an elementary student hates Hillary: How Liz teaches critical thinking vs. Telling kids what to think
• 15:36 – Pushback from parents + How Liz helps parents stay involved in their child’s education
• 20:09 – Liz’s upcoming book: The barriers to anti-bias education & how educators can push past them

• 25:57 – “What happens when we die?”: When kids have questions & you don’t have answers
• 27:37 – Empathy & ‘invisible’ conditions: How to talk to kids about mental health
• 28:27 – Liz’s dream life, book recommendation, life-changing habit, best received advice & favorite part about life

Have you ever felt like there was a ‘hidden meaning’ to déjà vu? That your recurring dreams and random gut feelings HAD to mean something? Congratulations! You’re probably subconsciously trying to access your line within – without even knowing it.

Accessing your line means connecting with the full history of your soul: your past lives and everything that comes with it – the wisdom and gifts, but also the pain and fears.
