Welcome!

I’m Lindsey Frank, the creator of The Butterfly Within®, and I am grateful for Heart-CenterED Changemakers like you. We are here to transform education from within—ourselves, our students, our systems, and our society. It takes courageous teachers and leaders to explore creative ways to reach the hearts of your learning community, especially when you have tried everything, are lost in the negative spiral, and feel beyond overwhelmed.

The Butterfly Within® empowers educators and leaders who are disheartened by their school’s climate and want to create a courageous, calm, and connected community through mindfulness-based learning.

Take your first step to create a courageous, calm, and connected classroom and life by “Expanding Your Comfort Zone”.

“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and has the courage to develop that potential.”

-Brené Brown-

Heart-Centered Changemaker starts with courage, fosters connection (self, staff, students, society), cultivates the climate, and creates change in our world.

Heart-CenterED Changemakers:

Heart-CenterED Changemakers place compassion, empathy, and the well-being and mental health of the whole learning community at their core, starting with embodied practices.

Heart-CenterED Changemakers cultivate a mindful climate and culture, prioritize emotional intelligence and connection, actively listen and respond with their educational community, inspire courageous conversations, and create supportive environments where everyone is seen, honored, and valued.

Heart-CenterED Changemakers call forward a courageous leadership approach to transform schools. It goes beyond traditional approaches, and creates the conditions for all members to become their potential:
