How Gratitude and Breathwork Are Helping Students Build Emotional Resilience in Schools
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this solo episode, Shannon Missimer shares the story of how The Motion of Gratitude is bringing emotional resilience, mindfulness, and breathwork practices into schools — helping both students and teachers reconnect, regulate, and thrive.
What started as a personal journey has grown into a movement now reaching classrooms across the country. Shannon shares the story of working with Principal Steve Torrez in Wisconsin, whose school became one of the first to implement The Motion of Gratitude Guidebooks — a four-week gratitude and mindfulness program for youth.
Through their work together, Shannon reveals what happens when students are given tools to pause, breathe, and connect — and how even one year of practice can shift an entire school culture.
This episode is an inside look at what it takes to build emotional resilience in schools — and why caring for the caregivers is the first step toward supporting the next generation.
In this episode, Shannon shares:
- How The Motion of Gratitude Guidebooks are helping youth develop emotional awareness and presence
- Why breathwork and gratitude are powerful tools for nervous system regulation
- What happened when one school integrated these practices for a full year
- How teachers and leaders can model emotional regulation for their communities
- The ripple effect of caring for the caregivers

Quote from the Episode:
“When we normalize presence and breath inside our schools, we give students more than coping skills — we give them safety, self-awareness, and the ability to thrive.”
