Untapped Success Stories

Malarie’s journey:

When Malarie began working with her mentor Emiko, it marked the start of a supportive relationship built on trust, encouragement, and accountability. School had always been overwhelming for Malarie, especially when it came to balancing multiple classes and keeping up with deadlines. But instead of tackling these challenges alone, she now had someone in her corner who truly understood her experience.

Together they focused on strengthening key executive function skills, particularly time management, organization, and task initiation. Emiko introduced practical tools like the Pomodoro Technique, time blocking, and strategies to reduce distractions. They didn’t just try every strategy; they carefully tested what fit Malarie’s learning style and preferences. For example, they discovered that breaking big tasks into smaller steps helped Malarie feel less anxious and more in control.

Their work was deeply personalized. Emiko encouraged Malarie to reflect on her own patterns, values, and routines. As Malarie transitioned to college, their conversations shifted to building a daily structure that supported both academic success and self-care. They talked about her energy levels, sleep, and how to plan around her natural rhythms.

Now with Emiko’s steady support, Malarie feels more confident and equipped to meet the demands of college life. Their relationship continues to grow, providing Malarie with a foundation of connection and consistency. By building executive function skills in a way that honors who Malarie is, they’re not just getting through assignments; they’re building lifelong tools for success.
