Educator and psychology student Hazier Rios returns for a deeper conversation about how our education system fails to teach critical life skills while exploring ways to find peace in an increasingly chaotic world.

• Critical gaps in education, particularly around relationship-building and communication skills
• The financial struggles teachers face with absurdly low departmental budgets
• How modern media has become less original as arts education gets deprioritized
• The challenge of finding authentic leadership in modern social movements
• Redefining love as something that requires effort rather than Hollywood perfection
• Finding peace by disconnecting from technology and practicing presence
• The distinction between fleeting joy and lasting fulfillment
• How grounding yourself physically can lead to mental clarity and peace
