   Closing the Math Gap & Building Student Confidence with Sarilyn Cobb

   What happens when a child struggles academically and begins to believe they simply aren't good at learning? How can parents recognize learning gaps, find the right support, and help their children rebuild confidence? On this episode of Ms. Wanda’s Full Circle Radio, Ms. Wanda welcomes Sarilyn Cobb, an educator, mentor, and founder of Illuminate Learning Academy, for an important conversation about math achievement, academic intervention, and helping students recognize their potential. Sarilyn shares how her experience as a high school mathteacher, her own educational journey, and her commitment to mentoring young people inspired her to establish Illuminate Learning Academy. Her approach goes beyond teaching formulas and solving problems. She believes students needrelationships, encouragement, individualized instruction, and someone who believes in their ability to succeed. In this conversation, we explore: How academic challenges can undermine a child's confidence and create a belief that they simply cannot succeed. Why relationship-building and understanding a child's circumstances matter alongside academic instruction. How parents can support their children even when they don't feel confident in math themselves. About Illuminate Learning Academy Founded by Sarilyn Cobb, Illuminate Learning Academyprovides personalized academic support designed to help students strengthen their skills, overcome challenges, and grow in confidence.

   Beyond the Birth: The Hidden Risks of Maternal Heart Health

   On this episode of Ms. Wanda’s Full Circle Radio, we’re putting maternal heart health at the center of the conversation. Ms. Wanda welcomes Monica Alleje, Senior Community Impact Director with the American Heart Association, who shares her personal experience with preeclampsia and the unexpected health challenges she faced during and after childbirth. Monica discusses the importance of maternal heart health, recognizing potential warning signs, monitoring blood pressure, understanding family health history, and advocating for yourself when something doesn't feel right. The conversation also explores the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women (https://www.goredforwomen.org/) movement, maternal health initiatives, community education, and resources that help families access heart health information and tools. We examine a message that extends beyond motherhood: women often put everyone else first, but our health cannot remain an afterthought. In this episode, we discuss: Monica’s personal journey through preeclampsia and postpartum complications. Why maternal health risks can continue after childbirth. Women’s heart health and the importance of recognizing potential warning signs. Knowing your blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and other key health indicators. The importance of family health history, quality sleep, healthy habits, and self-advocacy. Community resources and the American Heart Association’s efforts to improve women’s health outcomes. Take action: Make your health a priority. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors, ask questions about your family health history, and seek prompt medical attention for concerning symptoms. If you are pregnant or have recently given birth, discuss your heart health and blood pressure with your healthcare team. Learn more about heart health education and community initiatives through the American Heart Association. Follow its Northern California chapter on Instagram at @AHA Northern California (https://www.instagram.com/ahanorthernca/?hl=en). Because taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s essential.
