EP162: Why We’re Teaching And Working The Wrong Way with Kate Edwards
On this episode of "Into The Unknown" What happens when the way we learn and work was never designed for how our brains actually function? In this episode, Kate Edwards shares her journey through a career path that defied convention from hairdresser and graphic designer to teacher, business professional, and ADHD coach.
After years of feeling disconnected from traditional workplace structures and educational systems, receiving an ADHD diagnosis helped Kate finally understand why certain environments felt impossible while others allowed her to thrive. Through honest conversations about neurodiversity, creativity, and self-awareness, Kate offers a powerful perspective on why so many people struggle inside systems that were never built with different learning and working styles in mind.
Jeremy and Kate also dive into the realities of modern education, workplace expectations, and how creativity can transform learning experiences for both children and adults. They discuss everything from using Taylor Swift songs to teach multiplication tables to why movement, flexibility, and understanding individual learning styles are critical for long-term success.
Along the way, they explore entrepreneurship, career pivots, burnout, coaching, and the importance of building a life and career that actually fits who you are instead of forcing yourself into spaces that don’t. Whether you’re an educator, parent, entrepreneur, or someone navigating ADHD yourself, this conversation offers valuable insights into how we can rethink learning, productivity, and personal growth in a more human-centered way.
