Why “Perfect” Health Education Misses the Mark—and How to Make It Inclusive, Trauma-Informed, and Truly Helpful
In this video, I’m sharing the pivotal moment that made me rethink everything I knew about health education. From being dismissed on a wellness panel to witnessing how “well-meaning” advice can alienate entire communities, I’ve learned that perfection isn’t the goal—connection is.
If you’re a health educator, coach, or clinician who wants to craft content that informs *and* affirms, this video is for you. Together, we’ll explore how inclusive health education starts with lived experience, cultural context, and a commitment to doing better—not just sounding better.
