What Is Powerful You?
Powerful You is a proactive, grab-and-go social-emotional program created by school counselor and yoga educator Julie Frizzi. It provides ready-to-use tools that support children—and the adults who guide them—through breathing, stretching, storytelling, role-playing, and reflection.
The twenty-six Powerful You kids inspire meaningful conversations about emotional awareness, positive self-talk, relationships, and problem-solving. Together, these practical activities help children regulate emotions, build confidence, strengthen connections, and feel ready to learn and grow.
Simple tools. Meaningful conversations. Skills children can use for life.
