Mind Declutter with Athea Davis Athea Davis

Happy Day, Friend!

In this podcast episode I’m chatting with DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson about relationships, young people, and mindset.

DeAntwann “DJ” Johnson is a husband, father, author, mentor, coach, counselor, and sports statistician. He grew up in the Indiana foster care system and yet despite that, has gone on to lead a successful, and fulfilling life. Before spending nine years in the foster care system, DJ suffered child abuse, domestic abuse, and emotional trauma. At one point, he wanted to end his life, but he realized that he was on this earth for a purpose. DJ fulfills that purpose by using his experiences to not only help establish relationships with the students he serves, but he helps parents better connect with their teenagers. DJ specializes in helping parents bridge the communication gap between them and their child to ensure that their child has room to be the best version of themself.

I hope you find this episode valuable!

In this podcast episode I’m chatting with Dr. Lori Desautels about the nervous system, behavior, and education. 

Dr. Lori Desautels, has been an Assistant Professor at Butler University since
2016 where she teaches both undergraduate and graduate programs in the College of Education. Lori was also an Assistant Professor at Marian University in Indianapolis for eight years where she founded the Educational Neuroscience Symposium that has now reached thousands of educators and is in its 15th year. Lori’s passion is engaging her students through the social and relational neurosciences as it applies to education. She does this by integrating the tier one trauma accommodating Applied Educational Neuroscience framework, and its learning principles and practices into her coursework at Butler.
The Applied Educational Neuroscience Certification,created by Lori in 2016, is specifically designed to meet the needs of educators, counselors, clinicians and administrators who work beside children and adolescents who have, and are, experiencing adversity and trauma. The certification is now global and has reached hundreds of educators.
Lori’s articles are published in Edutopia, Brain Bulletin, and Mind Body Spirit
international magazine. She was also published in the Brain Research Journal for her work in the fifth-grade classrooms during a course release position with Washington Township Schools. Lori continues her work co-teaching in the K-12 schools integrating her applied research into classroom procedures and transition, preparing the nervous system for learning and felt safety.

Her third book, Connections over Compliance: Rewiring our Perceptions of Discipline, was released in late 2020, and Intentional Neuroplasticity: Moving Our Nervous Systems and Educational System Toward Post-Traumatic Growth, her fourth book, was released in January 2023. Her new book/manual titled Body and Brain Brilliance:  A Manual to cultivate awareness and Practices for our Nervous System will be published in 2024.

In this podcast episode I’m sharing the key points and highlights from the recent CDC report, Promoting Mental Health and Well-Being in Schools: An Action Guide for School and District Leaders. You can read the report HERE.

Per the CDC, “adolescents reporting poor mental health is increasing, building stronger bonds and connecting to youth can protect their mental health, and schools and parents can create protective relationships with students and help them grow into healthy adulthood.”

For information on youth mental health from the CDC read HERE.
