Episode 25: What Teaching Really Takes

This episode is a tribute. 

To the teacher who’s hanging on by a thread.
To the one who's tired—but still shows up.
To the one who knows teaching is more than a job—it's a calling.

I came across a Facebook post that captured so much of what I wish the world understood about this work. 

I want you to hear it. Not just with your ears—but with your heart.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, undervalued, or just plain exhausted, this one’s for you.

Press play, breathe deep, and be reminded:

You’re doing a great work. And you’re not alone.
