Last week we shared a full Math Therapy session with lifelong "not-a-math-person" Lauren Keeling, which was recorded as part of Imagine Learning's "Heart Work" podcast series on math anxiety.
And as promised, today Vanessa follows up with Lauren 4 months later to learn the domino effect that session had on her whole life! They discuss:
- How her story around math impacted her ENTIRE identity
- How Duolingo Math made learning fun & low-stakes (131-day streak & counting!)
- The key to healing math trauma: build trust & remove shame
