What if the students who seem the most “put together” are actually the ones quietly struggling?
In this episode of Innovating Education, Dr. Riley Williams speaks with Justyna Bronski—certified teen life coach, former Teacher of the Year, and founder of Justyna Bronski, LLC. Drawing from over a decade in the classroom, Justyna unpacks how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and social anxiety can hide in plain sight—and how educators can respond with clarity, compassion, and connection.
This conversation is packed with actionable strategies for teachers, school leaders, and parents looking to strengthen emotional safety, build student confidence, and rethink the role of failure in learning.
Topics We Cover:
– Why high-performing students may be masking anxiety
– What emotional intelligence looks like in practice
– How to foster authenticity and resilience in teens
– Coaching strategies educators can apply tomorrow
– What it takes to make SEL stick schoolwide
