Things I 💖 about teaching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've been heavy lately — burnout, workload, all the stuff that's broken. And that conversation matters. But we're heading into the run to the end of the year, and I don't want the hard stuff to be the only thing we talk about. So in this episode, I'm naming what's good. Not fake, forced positivity — a real look at why we're still here. I walk through 24 things I genuinely love about this job: the little wins nobody else would clock as a big deal, the lightbulb moments, the staffroom, the teache
Comparison Is the Thief of Staffroom Joy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So many teachers are measuring their day one against someone else's day one thousand — and it's not a fair fight.

Listen in and don't forget to share this with those wh
🎙️ What No One Tells You About Leadership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
🎙️ What No One Tells You About Leadership Leadership can be incredibly rewarding... but it can also be incredibly lonely. People often see the title, the responsibility, or the opportunities. What they don't always see are the difficult conversations, the constant decision-making, the weight of supporting everyone else, and the pressure of trying to do the right thing—even when there isn't a perfect answer. In this episode, I'm sharing the side of leadership that doesn't get talked about enough.
