Episode 3

In episode three of Team Peace the Podcast, founder and executive director Kara Schmidt fills in the story between her own journey and that first classroom visit, showing that the path to Team Peace was anything but a straight line. Kara traces the thread through yoga, a community studio, a kids’ summer camp called Peace Camp, and years of studying the brain and nervous system, then shares how a six-week pilot in a first grade classroom in 2019 grew into a nonprofit serving schools. She also reflects on why she wants Team Peace to live on beyond any one person, so that these skills become part of everyday life in schools and families. The episode closes with a preview of what’s coming next: episodes for families and for educators and school leaders.
