Customer Reviews
Kingdom Educators NEED This!
Is there any way we could get a core motion wheel made for public and private school teachers? I would love to help get this out to teachers. I really enjoyed the episode about keeping connection with your kids, but I think our teachers needed it as well. And for those of us who wear both hats, this would be an excellent resource! Thank you so much for putting these episodes out. I look forward to listening to more.
THANK YOU
Thank you so much for everything y’all are doing! My boyfriend and I started listening to your podcast on a roadtrip to visit his mom, and it led to some incredible conversations. We’ve been using the Core Emotion Wheel for about a month now, and I don’t think we’ll ever stop. It keeps us on the same page and keeps us feeling connected and grounded. It seems so simple, but sometimes the best ideas are, I guess!
Professionals love the podcast!
To whom this may concern
I first discovered the Connection Codes as a social work student several years ago. Since then, I have made the Connection Codes one of the primary foundations of my work- the reason for this is because it works!! The ideas are simple, and they resonate well with people. I primarily work with teens-at-risk, and they have no patience for therapy, but the Connection Codes really speaks to them. It is so beautiful to experience to watch them experience a change both withon themselves and within their relationships. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!
