57. Building Wellbeing-Centered Systems with Dr. Beth Rice
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Beth Rice—Founder of Wellbeing4Learning—to explore what it means to truly center wellbeing in education and organizations. From her personal journey as a school psychologist and teacher to leading state-level SEL and MTSS initiatives in North Carolina, Beth shares what it takes to co-create resilient, caring learning and work environments.
Together, we unpack wellbeing at both the individual and systems levels—why it’s more than self-care, how it’s embedded into policy and practice, and what it looks like when humans are supported as whole people. We also dive into Beth’s work launching communities of practice, her reflections on leadership, and how Wellbeing4Learning is helping schools and organizations lead with humanity at the core.
If you care about sustainable educator support, emotionally safe learning environments, and building systems where everyone belongs—you don’t want to miss this one.
