In this episode of It’s A Surreal Life, Sirel shares a powerful reflection on advocating for children and their emotional well being. She speaks from a place of awareness and lived experience, exploring what it means to truly listen to children in a world that often asks them to be quiet, compliant, and disconnected from their feelings.

The conversation opens with an honest look at the challenges facing the current generation, including the silencing of children’s voices and the impact of chaos, pressure, and overstimulation on their nervous systems. Sirel explores the role of educators and school systems in shaping children’s inner worlds and invites a reimagining of education that centers emotional intelligence, nervous system health, and human connection.

Through personal stories and thoughtful observation, this episode brings attention to how rigid structures and punitive practices can affect a child’s self worth and emotional development. Sirel encourages listeners to question what we have normalized in schools and to consider how these patterns ripple into adulthood and society as a whole.

This episode is an invitation to parents, educators, and communities to come together with greater awareness and compassion. It is a call to create environments where children feel seen, supported, and safe to be themselves, because the future is shaped by how we care for children today.

It’s not shadow work.
It’s nervous system work.

Because liberation happens the moment your body feels safe enough to hold the life you’ve been praying for.

If you find yourself searching outside of yourself for clarity, validation, peace, direction, or connection... It's time to come home to the only place the answers have ever lived.

🪞 Schedule a Surreal Mirror Session with me.
I’ll hold space as you reflect, regulate, and reconnect with the truth already within you.

You are the mirror.
You are the medicine.
