Lights! Camera! Second Pivot Ahead!

“If you don’t have the momentum you want in your life, clarity is missing.” 

I was recently listening to a podcast when the guest, high performance coach Brendon Burchard spoke the above words. I realized something.

Last month, I wrote about how I felt lost in terms of the direction of my programming. Before COVID, everything I did was in-person, but since COVID, my new content has solely been featured on our YouTube channel and our digital curriculum.  Today, in our strange limbo, I appear equally in-person and digitally, but it’s a lot to juggle.  There are so many things I want to do and people I want to help. I love having so many options and opportunities, but it comes at a price when you don’t know how to get where you are going. As Burchard said, clarity is missing.

But luckily, I am beginning to find my way, my clarity and my momentum! For years, I’ve wanted to take the stage with my program and it seems that this is the right moment- I can be both in-person and digital. These programs can not only coexist but they can grow together. I didn’t quite realize it before, but I have been performing for my students since I first entered the classroom. Yet, I can’t be everywhere, and I want to continue helping teachers, schools and kids that I could have never touched had I only been in local schools. So it is clear to me that I need to choose a path that allows me to flourish both digitally and face to face.

With that being said, I am so excited to share that my next pivot for Language U is going to be…
Language U LIVE! 

We’re talking “Spanish through FUN,” scripts, songs, laughs, bubbles, shakers, and so much more! The show will be an hour and a half and my characters will perform alongside me from the digital end, while I remain close, personal and best of all — in-person! 

I know it might come off as a shock to some, but the truth is that I have always dreamt of finding my place on stage.  I want to be the “Sesame Street LIVE!” or the “Disney on Ice” for “Spanish through FUN.”  I want to make a difference in more than a couple schools. I want to bring entertaining and effective curricula to teachers and students and I want to do it by proving my content and my methodology through a catchy song and dance. I know this sounds crazy to some, but this is something I am sure of, like when I started my business, or when I chose not to be a full-time teacher at one school. I am going to make families laugh and sing and they are going to find that learning a second language doesn’t have to be stressful or scary. It can be just what I call it-- “FUN.” And the more I travel, the more I hope to visit new schools and speak with teachers and administrators about the content they use and what ages they begin teaching their students. I am going to change the world on my terms.

Language U LIVE! is going to be coming to libraries, community centers and theaters near and far! So please keep your eyes and ears open because I would LOVE to perform at a school or center near you! Help me introduce your family or classroom to what it’s like to learn “Spanish through FUN!”
