Post a photo of a person, place, or experience that makes you feel connected or grounded. Share in one sentence why this photo represents belonging to you. For me, my happy place is the beach. I feel super grounded there. For Bo, it is snuggling on the couch. We cannot wait to see what makes you feel connected or grounded!

Belonging is the foundation of learning, leadership, and well-being. When people feel safe, seen, and supported, they are far more open to growth. This week, reflect on: Where in your life or work do you feel the strongest sense of belonging — and why does it matter?

Hi friends 💛🐾 This week’s Seeds of Growth blog is a gentle reminder I think many of us need right now: Even when it doesn’t feel like it, you always have a choice. Not always a big one.Not always an easy one.But often a small, meaningful one — how we respond, how we care for ourselves, how we pause before reacting. In this reflection, I share thoughts on choice, self-compassion, and the quiet moments that shape our growth — along with a little wisdom from Bo, who is very good at listening to his needs. 🐶 👉 You can read the full blog here:https://www.boknowzlearning.com/post/always-have-a-choice 💬 Community reflection (optional to respond):What’s one small choice you can make this week that supports you — your energy, your healing, or your growth? So glad you’re here, learning and growing together. — Kimberly & Bo 💛🐾

Hi everyone, I’m excited (and honestly proud) to share something I’ve been quietly working on — the first issue of The Knowz Drop. This newsletter was created as a space to pause, reflect, and grow — together. It’s rooted in real stories, social-emotional learning, and the belief that growth doesn’t have to be loud or perfect to be meaningful. This first issue explores: • Falling forward • Growth that happens when no one is watching • Small moments that build confidence over time I hope it feels supportive, grounding, and human — the way this Community does. 📄 You can read the full issue attached here: I’d love to know: 👉 What resonated with you most? Thank you for being part of this space and growing alongside me. — Kimberly & Bo 🐾
