The Moxie Teacher Podcast helps teens and young adults build emotional intelligence, confidence, and essential life skills. Hosted by speaker and educator Sarah Marier, each episode teaches practical tools for understanding emotions, improving communication, managing stress, and building healthy relationships—skills most schools don’t explicitly teach.

Emotional intelligence is the #1 skill teens need to thrive: in school, relationships, and life. In this post, educator Sarah Marier shares why EQ matters more than ever, how it impacts mental health and academic success, and why today’s teens are struggling without it. Learn what the research says and how to start supporting the teen in your life with tools that actually help.

Empathy isn’t just about being kind, it’s about truly understanding what someone else is feeling and showing up for them in a meaningful way. In this post, we’ll break down what empathy actually is, why it’s more important than ever right now, and how it impacts our relationships, workplaces, and everyday lives. Whether you’re a teacher, parent, leader, or just trying to be a better human, empathy is a skill that can help you connect, support, and communicate with more care.
