Description

This podcast is for anyone who believes that teaching and leading begins with the human work. You’ll hear reflections from real classrooms, experiments in teacher lead professional learning and leadership thinking rooted in thoughtful self-work instead of compliance. You’ll also hear old stories - myths, fairy tales, history - as mirrors for the work of growing humans. Whether you are in the classroom, raising children, or simply trying to understand what it actually takes to learn and change - this podcast invites you into an honest, unguarded, conversation about the work that shapes us.
