Episode Summary:
On this episode, Myndel shares a simple but powerful encounter at the grocery store that turned into a lesson about navigating life’s obstacles. 

When an older woman told her, “I know how to bob and weave,” it became more than a chuckle—it became a metaphor. 

In this short but meaningful reflection, Myndel reminds educators and women over 40 that life won’t always present a clear path, but with a little flexibility, faith, and grace, we can keep moving toward what we came for.

Whether you're navigating burnout, unexpected life shifts, or your next chapter beyond the classroom, this episode is your reminder that you’ve got the tools to sidestep what tries to block you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “bob and weave” might be the mantra you didn’t know you needed
• How obstacles don’t mean stop—they mean shift
• A reflection prompt to help you move with intention

Mentioned:

• Real-life inspiration from a grocery store encounter
• How Myndel used “bob and weave” in her years as an educator
