About the Show ​

Love Yourself More is a high-energy, interactive assembly that helps students:

​

• Recognize and honor their emotions

• Speak up respectfully and confidently

• Practice compassion when they make mistakes

• Understand that caring for themselves is a strength

​

The show disguises these lessons inside goofy humor, movement, call-and-response, imagination games, and a group sing-along. Students aren’t just watching — they're participating every step of the way. Together, we’ll:

​

• Play pretend

• Sing a song

• Move around

• Use our voices

 

This program is ideal for:

• K–5 school assemblies in the Capital Region

• New York State SEL initiatives

• Character Education and Anti-Bullying programming

• BOCES and PTA-sponsored events

• Summer enrichment programs​​

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q. Is Love Yourself More a research-based program?

A. Yes. I’ve been a nonfiction children’s author since 2006, researching and writing books on stress, decision-making, bullying, and resilience — including topics used in New York State SEL standards and character education frameworks.

​

Q. How is the show entertaining for kids? 

A. This assembly is fully interactive. Students are encouraged to:

• Answer questions

• Move their bodies

• Make sounds

• Play pretend

• Join a group sing-along

The energy keeps them laughing and learning at the same time.

 

Q. How is the show educational?

A. The learning is built right into the fun:

• When students consider how they feel → they practice emotional awareness.

• When they play pretend → they rehearse self-advocacy scripts.

• When they sing together → they reinforce the message that self-kindness is their superpower.

​

Q. Do you visit schools year-round?

A. Yes! I visit schools during the academic year, and I’m also available for summer programs, camps, and library events.

​

Q. Our school is not in the Capital Region — can we still book the show?
A. Of course! I travel to schools throughout NY and beyond. Travel is simple to arrange, and I’ll walk you through everything when scheduling.

​

Q. Can you perform for organizations other than schools?
Absolutely! I also visit libraries, churches, and other community organizations. Every group is different, and I tailor the program to be engaging and age-appropriate.

​

Q. How does budgeting work?
I know every school, library, church, or community organization has different resources. We’ll work together to find a plan that fits your budget and makes the program possible for your group.​​​​​​​​
