Goldie Hawn explains how MindUP uses brain science and classroom brain breaks to help children regulate emotion.
The brief
Goldie Hawn describes joy as a practice built from kindness, presence, curiosity, and appreciation—not a permanent emotional state or a life without difficulty.
Her MindUP program translates neuroplasticity into children’s routines, using breathing, visualization, brain breaks, and simple lessons about the nervous system.
Parenting adolescents in the digital age raises the stakes: presence, individualized discipline, and time matter when social media intensifies emotional sensitivity.
Hawn links laughter, movement, and self-humor to resilience, arguing that mistakes become less threatening when people can stay relaxed enough to laugh at themselves.
The conversation closes on female friendship, forgiveness, boundaries, and strength training as practical ways to protect confidence, health, and connection over time.
