Making the Grade Podcast
Making the Grade is a podcast about executive function—how we manage time, energy, emotions, and goals in real life. Hosted by former educators turned executive function coaches, we explore the brain-based skills that drive success both personally and professionally.
Each episode features real stories from entrepreneurs, overwhelmed professionals, parents, and experts in executive function. We dive into the habits, challenges, and strategies that help people build (or rebuild) motivation, focus, organization, and emotional regulation.
Why do so many of us feel stuck, even when we’re trying our best? What does success really look like—and how do we get there on our own terms?
The pressures of modern life are real, but so are the solutions. Making the Grade offers honest conversations, practical tools, and a reminder that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up for yourself every day.

Starting Before You’re Ready: a Conversation with Business & Life Coach, Sandy Patterson
S2 EP 021 | Starting Before You’re Ready: a Conversation with Sandy Patterson
Making the Grade podcast is back for Season 2 with the 1st episode of 2024 coming at you from sunny San Diego with the lovely Sandy Patterson! After 14 years as an elementary school teacher, Sandy realized that she was in need of some guidance and sought out a life coach. And little did she know how the student would become the teacher.
Sandy evaluated her current situation & realized that her values had shifted - so she became a life & business coach herself! She specializes in working with teachers to build businesses and financial freedom. She specializes in mindset work, business strategy, & taking messy action.
From Taylor Swift to a butterfly release gone wrong (also fun fact: Sandy is a former NFL Cheerleader!), Sandy is truly practicing what she preaches & the amazing advice she has for educators. This episode covers teacher transition, life coaching & the importance of choosing to start rather than feeling ready . If you are looking for a fresh perspective from a former teacher & renowned coach, look no further!
