Episode 73: The lessons teaching taught us that no textbook could.
Some lessons can’t be found in a syllabus, a PD session, or a university textbook — they come from the classroom itself. In this episode, we dive into the real, human lessons teaching has given us: the moments, mistakes, surprises, and shifts in perspective that only experience can teach.
We unpack:
- How teaching builds patience in ways theory never mentions
- Why relationships matter more than routines
- The emotional resilience that comes from showing up every day
- What students unknowingly teach us about ourselves
- How teaching changes the way we think, lead, and live
This is an episode full of honesty and reflection — a reminder that teaching grows us just as much as we grow our students.
