In this episode we discuss:
💪🏾 What pelvic floor therapy is
❗ Signs it’s time to see a pelvic PT

In this episode of CRxOWN Talks, we explore the power of presence, listening, and emotional safety in schools with Reverend Keia R. Boyd — an ordained minister, certified social worker, grief educator, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Specialist with over 20 years of experience in mental health, education, and community-based practice.

Reverend Boyd is the founder of Living Beyond and Graced for Grief, two initiatives dedicated to providing grief education, SEL-aligned programming, and healing-centered support for individuals and organizations navigating loss and life transitions. Her work integrates evidence-informed social-emotional learning frameworks, trauma-responsive practices, and culturally responsive approaches to address how grief impacts learning, behavior, leadership, and overall well-being.

In this conversation, we discuss why listening is one of the most powerful tools school counselors can offer, how grief shows up in students’ lives, and what it truly means to create grief-aware and emotionally safe school environments. Reverend Boyd also shares how schools, districts, faith-based institutions, and community organizations can work together to build cultures of compassion, resilience, and emotional literacy.

Grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience, this episode reminds us that healing begins when students feel seen, heard, and supported.
