About the Hosts

Sarah Woolverton-Mohler (she/her) Profile Photo

Sarah Woolverton-Mohler (she/her)

My Kind of Weird Productions, LLC Executive Producer, Co-Host of the podcasts Screen Cares and Weirdschooling

Sarah (she/her) is an always-caffeinated, quad-skating thinker and now, a Producer with a capital “P”. While her professional background was in the non-profit sector, Sarah now invests her time in educating her children and in producing podcasts. You can nearly always find Sarah planning trips to her beloved Rhode Island, playing roller derby or consuming spicy food, music and books with reckless abandon. Sarah cares about caring and believes that sending snail mail and being kind are unappreciated and dying art forms. Family, film and friendship are Sarah’s passions, motivations, lifeline and her foundation. When she isn’t chatting with Jennie about movies and “this thing called life” (special shout-out to Prince for making introspection sexy again), Sarah happily spends her time with her weird and wonderful children, her quietly hilarious hubby and her big, smelly dog.

Jennie Ziverk Carr (she/her)

My Kind of Weird Productions, LLC Executive Producer and Co-Host of the podcasts Screen Cares and Weirdschooling

Jennie (she/her) feels as comfortable camping and mucking through the backwoods as she does exploring museums and haunting coffee shops. Prior to making the choice to homeschool her children and help organize her local educational community, Jennie studied Art History and Film, facilitated early childhood and outdoor education, and taught middle school U.S. History and arts integration in Houston, TX. She has a passion for writing, cooking, and connecting to others through the arts. Jennie’s supportive husband would say she has too many books and velvet chairs, and her usually muddy children are often upset that she doesn’t let them have breakfast, second breakfast, and elevensies every day, but despite her perceived faults, her family is her home and she is theirs.
