YOU PROBABLY THINK SOMEONE THIS GEEKED ABOUT MATH GREW UP LOVING IT, RIGHT?

THINK AGAIN.

8TH GRADE
Math has letters now.
Flunks Algebra.
Will never find that Trapper-Keeper.

HIGH SCHOOL
Spends math class writing fan fiction.
Mostly A’s.
Except for that F in Typing.

COLLEGE
No math classes.
TV writers don’t need to math.
Or do they?

AFTER COLLEGE
Reality television = no TV writer jobs.
Negative bank account.
”I’ll teach elementary school!” Can’t fraction.

So How did TV Writer Heather become the Math Mindset Coach?

Because a college teacher showed me not how math works, but WHY math works.

I realized I had been approaching math all wrong. I’d let myself be a slave to math panic, instead of using an “I can figure it out” mindset.
