Math Therapy
Math Therapy explores the root causes of math trauma, and the empowering ways we can heal from it. Each week host Vanessa Vakharia, aka The Math Guru, dives into what we get right and wrong about math education, and chats with some of today’s most inspiring and visionary minds working to make math more accessible, diverse, and fun for students of all ages. Whether you think you’re a "math person" or not, you’re about to find out that math people don’t actually exist – but the scars that math class left on many of us, definitely do. And don’t worry, no calculators or actual math were involved in the making of this podcast ;)

Fan Mail
I just listened to the newest episode. I’m excited you’re moving to a weekly format! Also, I immediately texted the episode link to a 5th grade teacher I’m working with (I’m a new District math coach fresh out of the classroom after 17 years of teaching elementary). This teacher wants to change the mindset of her students and I had already sent her some Jo Boaler videos. However, this episode of your podcast hit home a very important part of mindset, and that is how we can reduce, or increase our students’ math anxiety, without even realizing. Thank you for this episode!
