The Why Behind
Be Hewman
Ready to take your first step?
During the last week of that first school year, one of my students, Jyeisha, said something
I’ll never forget.
What I Teach
When we’re not okay emotionally, even our biggest dreams
feel out of reach — or they don’t fulfill us when we get there.
So why, even with all the research in psychology and education,
are we not preparing young people for the real tests of adulthood?

I’ve developed powerful, practical lessons to help people build the life skills they should’ve learned in school: how to manage stress, build relationships, create balance, and pursue a meaningful life with confidence.
I believe every young person has the potential to thrive —
not just professionally, but personally.
My job is to help them see it, feel it, and live it.

I had no sense of balance, confidence, or direction.
Looking back, that first year of teaching was one of the most transformative years of my life.
I was growing up while trying to help others grow —
learning life’s lessons one painful test at a time.

If I’ve learned one thing, it’s this:
