From Dirt We Grow welcomes Michelle Steiner, a writer, speaker, photographer, and paraeducator whose journey with a learning disability became the foundation of her life's mission. After struggling in a system that didn't understand her, she now helps children discover how they learn best—and challenges the outdated, one-size-fits-all model of education. In this conversation, we explore the stigma around learning disabilities, the flaws in traditional schooling, and the power of resilience and creativity in shaping a brighter future for kids. Plus, Michelle also fills us in on just a touch of autism and the way autistic children are perceived.

✨ Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone who believes in building a fairer world, this episode will make you rethink what it means to learn, and teach.
