What happens when you decide to uproot your life and start afresh in a new country? In this episode of "Taught the Podcast," I invite you into my personal journey as I navigate the complexities of leaving a teaching career, moving to Portugal, and reestablishing my identity amid it all.

I'll also begin the conversation about the impact of challenging parent interactions on educators. From an incident in Baraboo, Wisconsin, to practical steps for dealing with difficult parents, I'll dive in. This episode is packed with honest reflections and aims to foster a supportive community ready to reclaim the teaching profession.
