What if your thoughts were not facts but choices?

In this week’s episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke Young speaks with Jillian Pawlowski, Programme Director and Head Coach at Empowered Educator. Jillian is a trauma-informed certified coach who blends metacognition, mind-body connection, and radical self-love to encourage lasting change that honours the whole person.

She helps educators and students alike reclaim their identity, regulate their nervous systems, and lead from within because when educators thrive, students do too.

Together, Jillian and Brooke explore the power of metacognition, subconscious beliefs, and the courage to unlearn patterns that no longer serve us. Jillian shares her personal story of stepping away from education to rediscover her purpose and how she now helps others do the same through awareness and compassion.

You will learn:

• What metacognition really means and how to apply it daily
• Why unlearning is the foundation of self-growth
• How nervous system regulation supports lasting change
• How to build trust with yourself through awareness
• Jillian’s three simple pieces of advice for students: you’re enough, be kind, and stay curious
