As Katie's principal, Maricela left a lasting impression, showing her that when we focus on the well-being of each child, academic success will naturally follow.

They talk about the power of being present, building authentic relationships with students, and cultivating a love for learning. Maricela shares her insight on how shifting our mindset, practicing daily self-care, and establishing community agreements can transform not just classrooms—but entire school cultures.

Hosts Michelle Kinder and Chris Kent Phelps set the stage, sharing why this episode—and Jeannie herself—means so much.

From navigating the complexities of leadership to standing firm in her commitment to equity, she opens up about what it really means to lead with heart. She shares how she built a culture rooted in what she calls “the teacher’s eyes,” and how she used data, deep listening, and high expectations to close achievement gaps and truly see every student. Michelle and Jeannie dive into both the challenges and the joys of the work—what it takes to create transformative change, the value of mentorship, and how to foster real, necessary conversations about race and equity in schools. After the interview, Chris and Michelle return to unpack the conversation and reflect on its powerful takeaways—making space to celebrate the educators doing the hard, beautiful work of showing up for kids every single day.

    SUMMARY

    In this rich and layered episode, Michelle Kinder and Chris Kent Phelps kick things off with a heartfelt introduction before handing the mic to Robert and Michelle for a deep, honest conversation about what it truly takes to support students—and the adults who serve them. They explore the power of representation, the importance of relationships, and the role adult behavior plays in shaping student outcomes.

    From there, Chris and Michelle come back to unpack the conversation, highlighting the threads of emotional resilience, high expectations, and the need for educators to care for themselves as they care for others. Together, they reflect on how leadership, clarity, and capacity-building can help schools become places where everyone—students and adults alike—can thrive.

    TAKEAWAYS

    • Adult behavior significantly impacts student outcomes.
      How we show up—our presence, our tone, our consistency—shapes every student’s experience.

    • Transformative relationships drive change in education.
      Real, lasting change doesn’t start with programs—it starts with people. Connection is the catalyst.

    • Representation in leadership roles is essential for equitable decision-making.

    • Creating a supportive environment is vital for educator well-being.
      Educators can’t pour into others when they’re empty. Support isn’t a bonus—it’s a necessity.

    • Self-examination helps in understanding emotional responses.

    2025/05/02

    SUMMARY

    In this episode, Michelle Kinder sits down with Dr. John Gasko for a raw and powerful conversation about what it really takes to show up well in education. John doesn’t sugarcoat the reality — he talks honestly about the toll the work can take and why educator well-being isn’t just important, it’s essential. Together, they explore what happens when schools embrace healing, reflection, and connection — not just for students, but for the adults leading them.

    After the interview, Michelle and Chris Kent Phelps unpack the conversation and reflect on the big takeaways — from the idea of “holding tension with a still point inside you” to what it means to lead with humanity in systems that often forget the human. This episode is about purpose, pain, and what it means to stay open and grounded in a profession that asks for everything.

    TAKEAWAYS

    • There is no such thing as getting to "great" when the adults in the system are weighed down by emotional and psychological suffering
    • If you want to work in education, you have to be willing to step into the darkness — because that’s where the real work is
    • Educators must anticipate adversity — and learn how to carry it with strength and steadiness
    • We’ve shaped a generation of writers who need to be reflective, but we’ve trained them to operate inside a box
    • Educators play a vital role as healers within their school communities
    • Real hope begins with a clear-eyed understanding of the challenges we face

    2025/04/25
    SUMMARY In this conversation, Michelle Kinder sits down with Katherine Kennedy to unpack the real challenges educators face—burnout, secondary trauma, and the emotional weight they carry in and out of the classroom. They talk about how personal experiences shape professional lives, and why supporting educator wellness isn't optional—it’s urgent. Katherine shares her journey and what pushed her to create wellness programs designed specifically for educators. She digs into the role of creativity, community, and somatic practices in healing, and why reconnecting with yourself is often the first step toward meaningful change. This dialogue pushes beyond surface-level solutions, exploring what real support looks like in a system that often overlooks the humanity of the people in it. It’s about agency, advocacy, and building spaces where educators—and students—can actually thrive.
