Hopebeat Weekly: March 27, 2024
The Hope Matrix Podcast is back!
Next week, we launch Season 2 of The Hope Matrix Podcast! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s where we explore the Science, Stories, and Strategies of Hope with activists and experts from around the world. It’s named ‘The Hope Matrix’, as that is how we teach hope; navigating both emotional despair and motivational helplessness (two ingredients of hopelessness) to find our way to positive feelings and inspired actions (two ingredients of hope!).
Check out this Video about The Hope Matrix:

And have someone you think would be just amazing? Feel free to let us know, as we learn about hope from others that have successfully navigated challenges. . It has been so inspiring learning from everyone else about how they applied the Shine Hope framework to their lives. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making them.
Our guests are pretty awesome, so be sure to not just listen, but check out all their work. Lots of post traumatic growth in action.
And remember, no matter what life brings….
Keep Shining!

I have been teaching explicitly about hope in my classroom for almost 15 years and these are the first resources that I have found to support that work.”
