We all take in learning differently and that’s what makes this journey so rich. Some of us find inspiration during a quiet drive, others while decompressing with a warm drink at the end of the day. However you choose to listen, this podcast is here as a space to learn from one another, to spark curiosity, and to remind us that we’re not in this work alone.

This podcast didn’t begin with a plan, but rather with a purpose. In the early days of the pandemic, I watched many learner-centered educators scramble to make sense of what was happening. Instead of reacting with panic, I responded with inquiry. I created a five-day challenge in both audio and video form to offer what I could. It wasn’t polished, but it came from the heart.
​
Since then, this podcast has grown into a space where I share reflections, wonderings, and lessons learned, not just about teaching, but about life. It’s not filled with music or big production. It’s just me, sharing honestly in the hopes that it resonates with others who care deeply about quality learning, shared humanity, and building something better together.​​
Of course, I’m a podcast listener too. On most days, I find myself reaching for a thoughtful conversation over music during my commute. There’s something calming about listening to others unpack ideas I care deeply about, especially when it comes to young people, the future of learning, and how to balance our lives.

​What podcasts are you drawn to lately? Here are a few that have been keeping me company and shake up my thinking.
​​
  • A Bit of Optimism by Simon Sinek
  • Hello Isaac by Isaac Mizrahi
  • Recess Duty by Levi Allison​
  • School Leaders Project by Cindy Blackburn
  • ​The Diary of a CEO by Stephen Bartlett
  • Unlocking Us with Brene Brown

​Confessions of a PYP Teacher was created as a space where ideas can grow over time and each episode connecting to the next, building a bigger picture of what learner-centered education can look like in practice. These are my reflections, straight from the heart.

​If there’s a topic you’d love to hear more about or a question that’s been sitting with you, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to share your thoughts in an email or on social media. 
​

Enjoy listening to new ideas!
