Episode 71: How Teaching Shaped Us
Teaching doesn’t just shape students—it shapes us.
In this episode, we reflect on how the classroom has changed the way we see ourselves as people, parents, and professionals.
From learning patience and empathy to finding strength in chaos, we explore the deep personal lessons that come from years in education. These are the things no textbook or PD session could ever teach you—the moments that stay with you long after the bell rings.
You’ll hear reflections on:
- How teaching changes your perspective on people, purpose, and growth.
- The emotional resilience that only comes from leading a classroom.
- Why teaching often reveals who you really are.
This one’s honest, personal, and real—a reminder that teaching shapes far more than lessons; it shapes lives.
☕ Tune in, reflect, and share this episode with a colleague who’s been shaped by the classroom too.
